It's super simple once you know how to do it. And the best part is, you can use any gloves you'd like!

What's black and red and electrically conducive all over?

Bamboo + silver yarn = warm hands mid-text.

Give your iPad a high 5 - each fingertip can conduct electrostatic energy (Oh, that's how they do it!).

Does using your touch screen with gloves on make you a cheetah?

It ain't easy being green, unless you can use your iPhone.

- “Visitors to Alexander McQueen‘s ‘Savage Beauty’ exhibit exceed 500,000.” Meanwhile, the exhibit ends August 7. If you don’t see it by then, kill yourself. [Telegraph]

- Go behind the scenes of V Magazine‘s Liz Taylor inspired editorial. Bring your electric blue eye shadow and your  flask of vodka. [Stylelist]

- The Queen thinks that the display of Kate Middleton‘s wedding dress at Buckingham palace is “horrid.” Jealousy is not a good color for a monochrome skirtsuit, Queen. [WWD]

- Gaga does not own an iPhone because her nails are too long to use one… Tranny. [Glamour]

- Valentino was doing red soles in the 60s. Guess what? Case closed. [Stylelite]

2002 – The first OFT was a subtle affair. Clocking in at $730,500, highlights included key lime pie and a J. Lo velour sweatsuit. You gotta start somewhere.

2003 – O then proceeded to crack the million dollar mark, $1,527,750. This is when she started throwing $600 watches and $400 Blackberries at people.

2004 – Shit went down. $4,299,600. We’re talking flat screen TVs ($2,299), spa trips ($850), $11,000 bedding and a $2000 laptop. Suffice to say, there were no J. Lo sweatsuits.

2005 – A little more conservative. $2,211,600. We got a little Ralph Lauren, a little Burberry, an Apple iPod and the big ticket item, a $2400 diamond watch.

2006 – This year’s studio audience must have been PISSED. Facing criticism that she had been basically feeding into American’s capitalist greed, Oprah gave her studio audience camcorders and a $1000 credit card to perform (and record) a good deed. Cost = $390,000.

2007 - So that happened, a lesson was learned by no one and then Oprah dropped $2,364,000 on some hideous footwear ($120), the super awesome Planet Earth DVD box set and a $3800 refrigerator. I wonder if that included shipping and handling?

2008 - Remember the recession? Yeah, me neither, but Oprah did and so she shafted her audience again with an installment of “Thrifty Favorite Things.” An H&M swimsuit ($15), a Norma Kamali suit ($350) and something known as “Fit Flops” ($50) broke the bank at $210,600.

2009 – Oprah didn’t even bother this year. There was no OFT, no one checking under their seats for anything, no one jumping up and down in an embarrassing fit of ecstasy. The end was nigh.

2010 – Lulled into a false sense of security, Oprah struck with what would be her Biggest and Last Favorite Things Ever. A bittersweet moment, no doubt, but one still considerably sweet at a cost of $12,075,000. Diamonds! Cashmere! $700 cruises! $3600 3D televisions! $500 iPads! And the grand daddy of all prizes, a $22,000 Volkswagen Beetle! Crying, jumping, hyperventilating, heart palpitations, etc.  followed.

And that’s all she wrote. To those lucky couple hundred of people who got to bask in the glory of Oprah as she screamed in your face about gifts you could otherwise never afford, I salute you. To the less fortunate souls from  2006, 2008 and 2009, at least you got to bask in the glory of Oprah yelling in your face about something.

That’s more than many of us will ever be able to say. [Jezebel]

The Moshi Moshi Pop Phone by Native Union plugs into the headphone jack of your iPhone/iPad/Blackberry/Computer and renders your newfangled technology into an old fashion rotary.

It’s not only good for a laugh, it makes for healthier conversation by blocking 99% of your cell phone’s radiation.

Also, if you have a touch screen, all the grease and bacteria from your fingers are smudging all over your cheek when you talk. Gross. This eliminates that without looking like you’re talking to yourself (aka earbuds).

Designed by the Frenchman David Turpin, cheeky bastard, and he gave it a soft finish. It feels so good in the hand. And it comes in a whole slew of bright hues (red available too!):

*And the answer to where you got it:

A. Turen, 85 Stanton St. NYC. It’s $34, but go now, mention Fashion Indie and get 10% off.

Alright, I gotta go. Love you, too. Bye!

Before I even get into this, I want to inform you that I am only posting this due to prior “conversations” with the illustrious Daniel Saynt and a certain feisty Saks accessories buyer friend. It was a few weeks ago in LA when Mr. Saynt hastily brought up the idea of watches being a failing technology over a (disproportionately) shared bottle of vodka. As lines where drawn in the virus infested hotel carpet, Daniel took the side of watches turning into wrist equipped smart watches (ie image above) and our Mighty Mouse-esque Saks companion, Daniel’s loving wife Rebecca, and myself defended our classic “tick and tock” type watches.

While Daniel may be right that the watch is evolving, I stand my ground with my opinions. This watch is rediculous and doesn’t look very cool either. So shall we hold a vote? This Blackberry watch or a Cartier? You tell me, I’m with the old school!
