designs for the future

this really interesting dress was designed by Phillips as part of their SKIN line of emotive clothing, in other words clothes that show our emotions through them. Phillips has designed this dress for the future, they believe that in roughly 2020 people will be wearing clothes that have sensors in them which are able to pick up on our emotions and therefore display them through colours on the dress. clam emotions would be displayed as blues and greens or soothing colours whereas not so calm emotions would be displayed as reds and oranges.

this beautiful dress won Time's Invention of the Year in 2008. however i would be interested to see whether in 2020 people will really be wearing clothes that allow everyone to read their emotions or whether this will be too personal for some. i guess we will just have to wait 10 years and see.

simple little words - "i miss you the second you leave"

i love this ring, i think it is very simple and plain but very sweet.

even though it is a very simple ring to manufacture i think it works really well.

my favourite part is obviously the rubber stamp with the words 'i miss you the second you leave', it makes a statement of emotion in a very sweet way.

i also really like the fact that the bar where the stamp sits would sit over your two other fingers however the bar is not long enough in order for it to become uncomfortable.

i just think that the ring is a very charming, simple one. =]
