It’s not often you see an innovative twist on an already good idea, but 3M’s done it with their transparent Post-It notes. Called Sheer Colors, the see-through notes have a host of uses — from highlighting borrowed books to marking up photographs without actually defacing them. They also might be a decent choice to cover the eyeholes in your Iron Man mask.

“ I would miss them if they were taken away. I enjoy the power they garner. I like how they fill out fitted T-shirts. I like how they enchant the men I’m with, as if they were casting sorcery or singing a siren’s call. Seduction is a cinch. ”

Anyway. If a girl is going to get her tits out why doesnt she just be honest about liking the attention?
Also? Why is everyone re-blogging this and taking issue with it? Nowhere in my post did i mention girls with big breasts whose breasts are just so big they can’t help but accidentally showing a bit cleavage. Cause obviously there’s a difference between that and getting them out on purpose.
Because it’s PRETTY FUCKING PRESUMPTUOUS, not to mention sexist, to just straight up assume that someone is showing cleavage because they “want attention” and “like the attention”?
That’s seriously one step away from the “She deserved it, look what she was wearing!” argument. Seriously. “She wanted it, or else she wouldn’t have dressed that way!” Are you listening to yourself? This feeds into an idea that women’s bodies are public property and not our own to control — or that we must hyper-control ourselves because the boys “just can’t help themselves.”
I’m not saying that women never, ever dress because they want male attention. But let’s be real here, women are, um, complex human beings with different motivations and reasons for doing things. Acting as though women are some sort of hive mind is demeaning.
There’s also the statement you make that “if women don’t like the attention then they should cover up”. Why should I change my behavior because someone else is being an asshole? I realize “that’s the way it is”, but I sure as hell am going to fight for it not to be. We women might as well just say “Fuck with it” and wear burqas if some men are going to use the tired old “biological imperative” excuse to forgive themselves for acting like jerks.
Also, you say “Why not just wear a T-shirt?” I’ll tell you why: that might be fine on the weekend, but what about, um, during the workday? It’s hard to find professional looking clothes for curvy girls.
I’m going to have to agree with Jessica L on this one and disagree with JGH. If a girl wears cleavage in public she wants to be noticed, period. Hey no harm if you do but to get annoyed when you get looked at or to use other “higher” reasons behind why you do the cleavage thing is plain silly. Be honest with yourself.
I’m with Randy and Jessica L. I have very big boobs and let me tell you if I want to show some cleavage I know how to go about it. I also understand that showing cleavage gets a certain kind of attention, people are going to look. I say the word people and stress the word people because women stare just as much as men do. It’s pretty sexist to assume that only men are attracted to cleavage. Though if you don’t want people to look it’s simple cover the babies up.
Now about it being so hard to find a professional look for a curvy girl, I say thats just bull. I find great things to wear all the time in Minnesota and Ohio, not exactly the fashion mecca’s of the world. If you can’t find it locally, I bet you can find it the internet. Also if you are rocking the uni-boob than you need to get a different bra.
I think I’d be perfectly happy decorating my apartment solely with objects from my child hood. I’d be even happier if they were all video-game-related objects because, frankly, video games played a pretty serious role in my childhood. That’s why I’m a big fan of this awesome Nintendo Zapper lamp. It uses an original NES Zapper along with a Duck Hunt cartridge and a homemade Duck-Hunt-themed shade to make the sweetest retro lamp ever. Now all I need is a Zelda-themed bed and I’ll be all set.

How brave are you? Because from the looks of it, the Sky Bridge in Langkawi, Malaysia will require some guts to gross. That’s because this majestic cable-stayed bridge is supported by only one support column as it wraps its way around a mountain a whopping 2,250 feet above sea level.
Even scarier? The single support column is placed at an angle. Seriously, were they trying to make this thing look precarious? I’m sure it’s perfectly safe, but come on. This bridge is pure terror. Hit the jump to see a video taken from its span.

Just a few days back, we told you about David Kornmann’s DJ Workstation that allows you to fit all your gears smartly and now these custom built DJ tables designed and hand built by industrial designer Reynold Rodriguez, will make you the coolest DJ in the town! The DJ tables are made of composite wood, plastic components and hand veneered in various exotic wood species for a glossy finish. All units are designed to conceal the wiry mess for an aesthetic feel. My pick is this 2.1 DJ table that features composite wood tabletop with matching veneer+brushed stainless steel finish and wood pedestals. The DJ table adorns a price tag of $3,120. But, you must check-out the Gallery to take your pick. And, if you still want to pimp it some more then you can even one custom built for your specific needs.

If your daughter has always wanted a horse of her very own to ride and take care of, but you’re the type of OCD, animal-hating tyrant who couldn’t stand to take care of an animal that defecates and needs constant attention, she’s sure to be disappointed by this lousy approximation of equine beauty. I mean, come on. Are you really going to buy the Ridemaster Pro Simulater, a giant fake horse hooked up to an LCD screen? How fun can that be? The fun of riding a horse comes from interacting with another living thing, not with the basic mechanics of holding some reigns. And from the looks of it, this thing probably costs about as much as a real horse, so it’s not like you’re saving money here. Just don’t do it. Racewood, via DVICE
Ever get that feeling that you could fix anything if you just had the right tool? Oh, you do? Bad news, my friend. You’re that guy — a blundering handyman just like Tim “The Tool Man” Taylor — and I’m about to set you loose.
This 1470 piece Craftsman Professional Tool Set has so many tools, some of them don’t even have names. It’s got all the basic, professional,specialized and automotive tools, and all the ratcheting gear you could ever dream of. The Craftsman sets that comprise the 1470-piece-package can be bought individually if you don’t need everything (or if you don’t have $8,600), but, come on now, go big or go home!

We already showed you how to stay fashionable in urban combat situations. Along the same lines, Peter Gronquist has jazzed up retired rifles, chainsaws, machine guns and artillery shells and slapped big names on them: Louis Vuitton, Coach, Gucci — probably not the brands you think of when you imagine a rocket launcher or an electric chair. There’s even a Pac-Man grenade. Dubbed “The Revolution will be Fabulous,” Gronquist’s show opened last night at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. The pieces ranged from anywhere from a few hundred bucks to several thousand and several, such as the Louis Vuitton chainsaw, have sold. Click the pick to check out the gallery for more fabulous weaponry.
