Honor Your Gaming Past with the Pac-Man Belt
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Video Games,
Similar to the gold cassette belt buckle, we bring you retro attire that is guaranteed to elicit wistful, nostalgic smiles from passersby. This time it’s the Pac-Man Belt, adjustable up to 42”, made of black canvas and trimmed in blue, with Inky, Pinky, Blinky and the oddly-named Clyde running all around the belt. But we’re wondering if all that even matters to hardcore fans of the game. Just looking at it makes us long for the 80’s, when it was all about putting quarters on the arcade machine to guarantee “we have next”. But the belt —and the game—is likely to find a whole new audience, thanks to the new Xbox 360 version, with new mazes to conquer - Pac-Man Championship Edition. Available for almost $20 USD.

Babies Go Ga Ga Over Goo Goo Onesies
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Google,
So we’ve already told you about iPod My Baby, cute tees and onesies that make your infant resemble a cute, giant iPod. Awww. Now comes Goo Goo, the aptly-named onesie for Google/internet/tech fanatics who love the world’s most ubiquitous search engine. Very cute (we especially love the “I’m Feeling Silly” button), we just hope your bundle of joy isn’t labeled a “geek” by the ruffian infants at Mommy and Me class.

iPod Suit Keeps You Geeky and Fashionable
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Apple, Wearables, Portable Audio / Video,
If you’re a regular Gear Live reader, you may remember our articles on iPod-ready clothing from Tunebuckle and iWear. Now, popular British retailer Marks and Spencer is planning to introduce a wool and Lycra-blend suit with a lapel that has buttons to control your iPod, which is concealed within the suit. The tricky part is that to see what’s playing or to change playlists, you’ll have to manually disconnect the iPod. The James Bond-esque, black pinstripe suit will sell for approximately $178 USD. Want the matching pants? They’ll run you an additional $117 USD.

iWear: Clothing as the Ultimate iPod Holder
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Portable Audio / Video,
A couple of months ago, we told you about the Tunebuckle, a sleek belt buckle that also stores your
iPod
nano. Well the clothing-iPod synergy continues with iWear. How does it work? The iWear is back casing for your Nano, placed behind an article of clothing (say a pant leg), and then fit you your iPod into the case from the front side. Since you only see the iPod and not the case, we think the effect is odd-but-cool-looking, and is a rather convenient way to store your nano, especially at the gym. Available now for $25 USD.Read More | Modyfire
The Show-Off T-Shirt Moves to the Beat
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables, Misc. Tech, Music,
If you can find a more aptly-named item than the “Show Off T-Shirt” we’d love to see it. This tee actually has a graphic equalizer panel that is sensitive to sound, so that the red, yellow and green lights actually move to the beat of music playing nearby. Luckily, the shirt’s small, detachable battery pack has an on/off switch, in case you suddenly decide normalcy isn’t so bad after all. Requires 4 AAA batteries, which are not included. For better or worse, instant (if fleeting) fame can be costly, as the $92 USD price for this tee can attest to.

Goin’ Old School with the Gold Cassette Belt Buckle
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Wearables,
We love the 80’s, and if you’re a certain age, you’ll remember the 80’s were the era of boom boxes, Walkmans and cassette tapes. That’s why the Gold Cassette Belt Buckle brings a poignant tear to our eye. It’s a shiny, 18K gold-plated/filled real cassette tape, and the insides actually twist! Comes with a black or brown belt. At $210 USD we think it’s a little pricey, but just think of the wistful smiles you’ll generate as you strut down the street.

Warm Up Your Hands with USB Gloves
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, USB, Wearables,
Okay, we know it’s March and Spring is just around the corner. But as cold as our floor gets at work, we think this item could be used all year long. They’re wool USB gloves, which once plugged in, actually warm up your hands by 10 degrees in five minutes! There are two levels of heat, and finger holes for typing ease. Unfortunately, you will need to use two of your precious USB ports to plug in the gloves. And ladies, not only are they stylish, but they make a great conversation piece while you’re typing away next to that hottie at your local cafe…
Available for $23 USD.

Tunebuckle: iPod nano Belt Buckle
Posted by Lolita Beckwith Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Design, Portable Audio / Video,
We love gadgets where the coolness factor almost outweighs its functionality. A case in point is the Tunebuckle, a slate grey canvas belt…with a buckle that conveniently stores your iPod nano. The belt comes in one universal size, so you’ll have to cut the belt with a scissor to determine how long or short you want it to be (just don’t gain any weight after cutting it!). The Tunebuckle comes in three different styles, including the Full Metal Jacket, which covers the entire nano in case you have a dress code to adhere to. And don’t worry, when you take the belt off, your nano will still be encased. Available now for $59.99.
