Kissing helps protect your unborn baby
If you enjoy those mouth to mouth kisses then there's an even stronger reason why you should not stop kissing. Scientists believe that kissing helps spread germs which build up immunity to illness. Scientists say that kissing allows a bug named Cytomegalovirus, which is dangerous in pregnancy, to pass from man to woman to help her build up protection against it. This bug is found in saliva and causes no problems but it can be extremely dangerous if caught while pregnanancy and can even cause the death of unborn babies or even cause birth defects. The scientists also say that kissing the same person for about six months provides the best protection.
Wink Glasses help you blink
You have to check out these Wink Glasses by Masunaga. It has a small and compact mounted display fixed on a pair of Glasses that will “force” you to blink or wink regularly, by blurring your vision. It might seem strange, but blinking is in fact very essential for your eyes as it provides the necessary moisture. I think I blink quite often, so I don't really need glasses to remind me to do that. However, if you think you don't blink often enough and stare a little too much, this is for you. Right now, the glasses are available only in Japan.
Cat Burglar Barbie by Christian Louboutin is deviously attractive
Barbie just enjoyed a new addition to the family in the avatar of Sugar Daddy Ken. Now it's her turn to get a make over from none other than Christian Louboutin. There is going to be a collection of limited edition dolls that will be launched in December 2009 as part of a dedicated Barbie collector's set. Barbie is the epitome of goodness, so seeing her as Cat Burglar Barbie is going to be novel. She looks deviously stylish in the black suit and comes with a choice of four of Louboutin's statement red-soled heels to wear. The first in a series of three, she comes complete with a chic collectible calendar which follows the duo's fashion-filled travels. I'm definitely liking it.
The Urban Cursor is here
The line between the real world and the virtual world is really blurry. As a confirmation on that, we have the Urban Cursor that proves the point. The virtual world has become the real one. It is an art installation project that involves a GPS tracking device to record its real world movements instantly on Google Maps. The Urban Cursor encourages social interaction and brings an element of play back to our public spaces. I'm pretty sold to this idea. Hopefully I'll stumble into one.

Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken is Barbie's newest partner
So Barbie's family has a new addition under the name of “Palm Beach Sugar Daddy Ken”. This one's definitely a notch different than the usual Ken we are used to. He is all dressed in white slacks, a crisp, flashy green jacket, and even a pink polo shirt, representing South Florida’s leisure style to the fullest. I mean sure it's classy, but kids don't usually care about class. He has been added to the popular line of Palm Beach Barbie, which already includes Palm Beach Coral Barbie and Palm Beach Caftan Barbie. This sugar daddy also has a tiny little dog. It seems that this mature looking Ken is targeted towards adults. i fail to see what adults still play with dolls, well at least Ken dolls. Sugar Daddy makes him sound like some rapper. He does look like a rich dude though, so maybe he will snag all the hot young Barbie dolls. Mattel claims that Sugar refers to the dog however.

No more frowning with the Happiness Hat
Lately, I've been feeling a little low, maybe because the season is changing and I'm falling sick. That's why this Happiness Hat created by interactive artist and designer Lauren McCarthy is just what I need. It's such a cool little hat that it senses that you aren't smiling and shoves a metal spike into your head until you do. So it's either smile or wince in pain. It's quite ruthless, but anything to spread some happiness around.

Chocolate pudding wrapped in some perverted packaging
Chocolate pudding sounds like an innocent enough treat, right? I mean sure, it is sinful in the calories department, but that's about it. That's until you check out the Niigata Oppai Purin (Niigata Boob Pudding) which has nipple-like cups of flan you have to unhook the anime girl's bra. I don't know why they'd turn a delicious thing into something so perverted! I think it's targeted towards anime/hentai loving nerds! I doubt women are going to appreciate it much.
