Japanese Solar-Powered Bra Winner By A Knockout!!!!

Japanese Solar-Powered Bra Winner By A Knockout!!!!





Wednesday, May 14

TOKYO (Reuters) - Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."

But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.

Being eco-friendly is now fashionable in Japan, and the "Solar Energy Bra" follows the company's other green-themed undergarments that include a bra that turns into a reusable shopping bag and one that featured metal chopsticks to promote the use of reusable chopsticks.

"It is very comfortable and I can really feel involved in eco-friendly efforts as well," model Yuko Ishida said.

And if the gorgeous Japanese model above is what being eco-friendly is all about, well, then, of course, I will soon become a charter member of Greenpeace!

Takashi Murakami's 'My Lonesome Cowboy' to rope in seven figures at Sotheby's



"Artist and designer of the now-iconic Vuitton handbags, Takashi Murakami, is auctioning off several pieces in Sotheby's upcoming spring auctions. The most valuable, estimated between $3-4 million, is a sculpture of a manga dude, um, "ejaculating in lasso-like form," titled "My Lonesome Cowboy." Hey, it's not NSFW if it's art."

Instead of actual Indian - English translation subtitles, this video's subtitles include what the editor, someone named "Buffalax", thought the actors sounded like they were singing in English!!! And that incorrect interpretation just makes this "Crazy Indian Video (Real Title Unknown)" TOTALLY OFF THE HOOK HILARIOUS!!! CHECK IT OUT:

David Bowie "Heroes" in Nike China Commercial

Above is a brand-new commercial featuring the legendary hit song "Heroes" which was co-written by David Bowie and Brian Eno in 1977. This short commercial also features several Chinese Olympic athletes engaged in various competitions as this ad is part of a new Nike China marketing campaign which emphasizes that the right attitude and positive outlook is vital for anyone who hopes to compete successfully at any level in any sport. And, in my opinion, they could not have picked a better song for this inspirational and upbeat campaign, indeed.

Well, of course, "Heroes" has been used in many different advertisements in the past, but this current ad could very well end up being the biggest and most widely distributed of all so far.

Who The Bitch - Who The Fuck!! Vol. 4 Review

Just a few weeks ago I saw a great Japanese underground alternative rock show "Who The Fuck!! Vol. 4" which featured Bo-Peep and Who The Bitch at Club Que in Shimokitazawa on 04-10-08. And both bands were really great and are, indeed, a perfect matchup together live! If you ever get a chance to see either Bo-Peep or Who The Bitch, I highly recommend doing so without hesitation! Really, you will not be disappointed.
