I was watching Oprah the other night and saw this story about Claudia Mitchell, the world’s 1st Bionic Woman; I found her fascinating and wanted to share a small part of her story with you.
Claudia lost her arm in a motorbike accident and is now the fourth person and first woman to receive a $4 million, “bionic” arm, which allows her to control parts of the device with just her thoughts. The device, works by detecting the movements of a chest muscle that has been rewired to the stumps of nerves that once went to her now-missing limb.
Well, I’m still blown away by this story! Are transformers taking over?
Yo speed freaks and comic junkies.Scope out this sweetride, one of our members Ryan has pimped out to the extreme. When he came in he asked for two of the same Batman buckles, that we had just put out in the new range.
When he told me he wanted to use them for his car, I thought it would be pretty cool, but when my girlfriend spotted his car parked down the road we had to go check it out and….. DAMN does it look HOT.
Not only does this beast have wicked emblems now but it has a monster super charger and a huge canister of NOS between the seats….I reckon Batman would drool for this piece of machinery….TRULY a real life Bat Mobile.
Does anybody else have a ultra car that they wanna show us??
The second invited designer on day 1 following Gideon was Malcolm Kluk.
I was really blown away here - the dresses wereabsolutely SUBLIME!
Malcolm really showed off his talent and experience in this range, using metal hues on flowing garments giving the impression of models clad in liquid silvers and haematite.
Hues ranged from black to greys, silvers and juxtaposed with the occasional splashes of gold.
Two pieces really stood out for me - the one depicted here - for the sheer elegance of the garment and the feeling of transparent flowing metal hues.
When one thinks of metals the concepts of transparency and fluidity are not immediate associations so when I see a piece like this my jaw literally drops!
The other one was a gorgeous 3/4 Kimono gown made from small squares of haematite - sort of a deep gunmetal - I was totally floored when I saw that piece - really appeals to the Asian in me.
BUT ERAN! You haint hAsian you say! eh. Whaaaaatevah! I says.
But seriously - Well done Malcolm!!! - this range was THE BOMB! Wearable and desirable!
