Ever thought about getting blinged out spinners for your teeth but never knew from where? Here is the link, you can thank me later.. [Link]

A couple of months ago when me and Mark passed by Eastpak as we usually do to check out what new bags they had, I saw this really cool limited edition red hand bag that had rifles, grenades and knives drawn on it. It costed 25 kd so I saw it was a bit expensive since I didn’t really have any special needs for it and I decided to put it on hold. When I went on my vacation and Mark broke my car’s rear glass, he went to eastpak to buy me the bag as a make up gift, sadly enough they didn’t have it anymore. I was really dissapointed, i couldn’t take that bag out of my head. Not only that but since it was limited edition the guy told us they wouldn’t be getting any until 6 months or more. I also tried looking for it online but they didn’t have it there either. I eventually gave up my search and I told the Eastpak guy to call me whenever he got a new shipment.
However today me and my mother in law decided to go for a small walk in Salmiya after I got back from work. On the way back, I thought why not go into eastpak to check out what new stuff they have and to my big cheerful surprise there it was, the bag I had been craving to get and they only had one specimen. Turns out the guy tried calling me and Mark but our phone was off. Finally I hurried up and bought it for an excellent price, they had it priced 20kd this time instead of 25kd for some reason, plus I got a 10% discount since they had summer sales. So I ended up paying 18kd for my funky limited edition bag. It’s cool when good things happen when least expected.

My previous Oakley’s broke a few weeks ago, the model was Minute Black with Black Iridium lenses and the rate of transmission of the lens was only 10%. Since there is a volleyball tournament tomorrow I decided I needed to get new shades. I found some really cool ones in the market, my favorite was the Oakley XX model, but the problem was I only found it in Metallic Black with Black Iridium Polarized lenses. Polarized lenses are really expensive and add up to the price of the shades. The XX model I saw cost KD60 which was over my KD50 budget I had set. My previous Minute’s only cost me KD33 and I was hoping to find something just a bit more expensive. So I kept looking for a non polarized version which would bring the price down under KD50 but I couldn’t find any. So I ditched the XX model and spotted the Straight Jacket version which was Black and used a Gold Iridium lens. I think the golden lens gives me the adventurer type of guy look which goes pretty well with Nats Jeep. The price was KD40 which was under my KD50 budget and so I got them. When I put them on outside in the car I noticed a problem though. Everything around me was yellow. When I tried it in the store I hadn’t noticed it but outside it became pretty obvious. I hate the yellowish tint and it fucks with my eyes color balance. The rate of transmission is decent though at 12%, not better then my older lenses but still good enough. Hopefully this yellow tint crap issue is only temporary and I won’t notice it once I get used to it. Oh one thing I noticed, Perla Nera is too expensive. The same shades I got for KD40 they were selling it for KD46! Rippoffs..

A face moisturiser made out of semen has been launched in Mexico. Porn star Lyn May, who is in her sixties, is behind the company producing the cream. Mrs May swears that the Semen moisturizer is capable of erasing wrinkles and leaves skin soft. She told Las Ultimas Noticias: “I select attractive young man and pay them for their semen that is mixed with honey and oats to create the moisturiser.” [via]

Seems a recent trend in Japan is for girls to get anime like eyes. If you notice in the majority of Japanese animation, girls always have gigantic monochromatic pupils. Now young Japanese girls can look like the girls from the animations by wearing inky black contact lenses. According to a 15 year old girl who wears the contacts, “The bigger the character’s eyes, the cuter they look”. [via]

Nibaq if you had the skills you should have come up with something like this..
Now this is more like me:)

Nibaq earlier this morning sent me a link on how to make my own stortrooper. Then later on he made me my own little stortrooper which pretty much looks like me.. i guess :/, pretty cute:S You can make your own look-alike stortrooper and use it as an avatar, on your blog, on your website, on your t-shirt or even as a tattoo. It’s pretty cool. You may use your trooper however you like and adapt it to your taste. here’s the link to make your own trooper.

Me and nibaq tried this before using another technique but we never posted step by step pictures. Today I found a site with an easy tutorial to follow and has pictures. here is the link.

PodBrix has launched a new site called PodShirt.com to sell shuffle integrated apparel. The first product is the iShirt. Similar to the PodBrix Brixwear 1000 shirt, the iShirt features an integrated patent-pending magnetic clasp system to secure your iPod shuffle to the front of the shirt.

No modification is needed to your iPod shuffle. Simply place it over the clasp area of the shirt and it locks into place. The shuffle stays firmly attached even with vigorous activity. A quick pull easily removes it from the shirt.

PodShirt is the extension of the Brixwear 1000 concept into other styles. We wanted to be able to create a variety of designs using the shuffle clasp system and not be bound only by the style concepts of PodBrix.

Since I arrived in Lebanon for my vacation, I had been thinking that it was time for me to get a new look and I finally did it. I went ahead and got myself a new funky haircut with a cool color combination. I decided to go to Frimousse (one of the first professional piercing and Tattoo places in Lebanon) and ended up piercing both my navel and my left eyebrow. I had been wanting to do the belly piercing for such a long time, but I was just waiting to lose some weight and get a flat stomach. As for my eyebrow piercing, I was really excited about it since I thought it would really look funky on me with my new haircut. I chose a green “zeytee” barbell to match my new “light brownish, zinc, orangish” hair color. The whole experience was quite enjoyable, getting the piercings didn’t hurt at all, even though I’m not a big fan of needles.. I just love change..

The other day I watched Terminator 3 and I was a bit surprised in one scene. The scene in question is when Arnold comes to the present time, goes into a bar, steals a strippers clothes and car keys, then goes out to the guys old beat up truck and drives off. Just before he drives off he puts on the strippers watch, an Offshore Audemars Piguet. I found that a bit odd since the watch cost A LOT more then the guys truck. A LOT more then the guy could ever make. It was total bullshit, no stripper working in a bar like that could make enough money to buy a watch like this. So I was kinda put off at the lack of realism in the scene. Anyway, yesterday I found out that this watch store I know in Kuwait has two special edition watches. An Audemars Piguet, Arnold Schwarzenegger edition AND a Montoya edition. So I did a bit of research turns out AP and Arnold have a pretty good relationship and they have worked together on many things from charities to movies.. I found this page that talks about the T3 movie tie in.

Now, lets talk about the coolest watch of the two, the Montoya edition. I didn’t even know such a watch existed. I am a great fan of Montoya since his Indy days and I am a bigger fan of Audemars Piguet watches. So combining the two is too extreme. Here is some info I was able to obtain about the Montoya watch:

Juan Pablo Montoya Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph
This watch was released in tribute to Formula 1 race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya. This watch features a 45mm titanium case with carbon fiber inlaid accents all over the top of the bezel and sized of the bezel and sides of the case. Every shape on this watch and every feature is designed to resemble a Formula 1 race car; The chronograph pushers are styled to look like air-intake cooling flaps, the Bezel screws are shaped like cylinder head screws, the winding crown resembles a wheel axle, the winding Rotor of the movement resembles a clutch disk and the strap resembles the racing suits of F1 racers. And of course, the watch is adorned with inlaid carbon fiber on the top and sides of the bezel. This is a very limited and near impossible to find watch, the Titanium model was released in only 1000 individually numbered pieces with current retail price as of March 15, 2005 of $19,500.

Here are some pictures of the Montoya watch.

So how much are they selling for in Kuwait? The Arnold version is going for KD7,000 while the Montoya version for KD12,000.
