Is the very expensive E>One laser hair removal gadget any good?
Posted by Katie Lee on August 16, 2011 · 1 Comment
There’s a constant war of attrition going on between me and my extensive range of body hair.
If I’m not epilating, waxing or shaving, I’m probably just leaving it all to lie fallow in the hope that a sudden gust of wind won’t reveal the thermal layer of leg hair hidden under my maxi dress.
But could it be that the E>One from E-Swin holds the key to near-constant leg loveliness?
Yes, it could — though you might need to take out a mortgage to acquire one…
Giles Deacon 3D glasses from LG

It’s not often that my major areas of interest cross over, but Giles Deacon has brought fashion and high-tech together with this pair of 3D glasses from LG (available now from Selfridges). The fuzzy pattern on the frame was inspired by TV interference. The shades allow you to watch 3D movies at... Read More »
Dork Fashion Icon: Leslie Winkle (The Big Bang Theory)
Posted by Tamsin Worrad on July 20, 2011 · Leave a Comment
She might not be the most obvious fashion icon, but Leslie Winkle is sort of my hero. She’s super intelligent, with a brilliant sense of humour and invariably gets one over the boys in the show. Despite being a nerdy scientist, she also gets her fair share of bedroom action. A sexually liberated... Read More »
Super Mario Converse Sneakers

I’m not really a converse fan. Eternal emo Avril Lavinge ruined them for me (and continues to do so). But these Limited Edition Super Mario Converse might just win me back over to the brand. The shoes have been created as a continued celebration of 25 years of the hairy plumber. If you fold down... Read More »
Dork Fashion Icons: Velma Dinkley

We all know that ‘geek chic’ is terribly fashionable right now, what with the world and his wife sporting oversized glasses and deliberately terrible haircuts. But what about the real geek fashion icons; the ones who are cool because they are so nerdy, and not in an uber fashionable way? Well,... Read More »
Lady Gaga-designed Polaroid glasses

Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga certainly has a unique sense of style and so it came as no surprise when she was named as Polaroid’s Creative Director back in January 2010 — well, no more surprising than a meat frock, anyway. Recently, she unveiled some of her work with the brand so far... Read More »
Geek Chic Cosmetics

Sometimes it’s tough being a girl geek in a market seemingly geared towards men, so it’s fantastic to see a cosmetics company aiming to challenge that preconception with their range of cosmetics inspired by all things dorky. Geek Chic Cosmetics are a small independent US company (who ship... Read More »
The five best fashion iPhone apps
Posted by Emma Cossey on November 5, 2010 · 2 Comments
I’m a little late to the iPhone party. Like several years late. Consequently, I’ve gone a bit mental in the apps store, downloading every decent app I’ve heard about in the last few months/years, and a few more embarrassing ones (Christmas countdown anyone?). I of course blame this... Read More »
Five lovely necklaces for boffins
Posted by Tamsin Worrad on October 30, 2010 · 4 Comments
If you know me, you’ll know I’m a scientist because I’m enough of a dork about it that I tend to tell everybody I meet. So, the idea of wearing some science round my neck for all the world to see got me very excited. These science equipment necklaces (£6.99 each from Finest Imaginary)... Read More »
