Philippe Starck’s 50th Anniversary Barbie Chair

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

The iconic plastic doll we grew up with has turned 50 years old and to celebrate that, Philippe Starck has designed a special limited edition chair in honor of her.

Barbie_Ghost_Chair

As anything Barbie, this Lulu Ghost chair comes in pretty pink. Making it transparent has a very mod and stylish effect, Philippe Starck does know her style and image! It looks very vintage but still very, very beautiful, right?

The chair carries a price tag of whopping $270, so yes, this is definitely not a toy for young girls, it is an actual furniture. But you can still get a smaller version of this for $100, for the kids to enjoy.

    Prepara Ice Cream Pint Sleeve

    Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

    prepara-ice-cream-pint-sleeve-1

    Summer is the time for ice creams. But then again, almost every joyous occasion is a time for ice cream. Also, there’s nothing like an ice cream to pick your moods up when you’re feeling down. Sometimes though, ice creams get to cold to handle or may easily melt when the weather is too hot. When that happens, you don’t get to enjoy the ice cream all that much, right? Sometimes I use paper towels to protect my hand from the cold. I also use the same paper towels to wipe the drips from the melting ice cream can.

    But If I had an insulated thermal sleeve like this, then there shouldn’t be any problem.

    These sleeve is made of neoprene material that allows to be fitted snugly on to the ice cream gallon. It helps your hands stay warm as the ice cream remains cold and creamy. The sleeve is easy to keep as there are magnetic sticks to the side of it, so you can just stick it out on the refrigerator.

    • Product Description
      Made to the same high standards as our pint keeper, this neoprene sleeve fits snugly over a delicious pint of ice cream, extending your indulgent time, while ensuring your hands stay warm and your ice cream cold.

    The sleeve is available only in pink, which is actually pretty cute. It’s also priced at an affordable $8. If you are buying them online, then get plenty of it to give away as presents to your Mother-friends and relatives this Sunday (Mother’s Day).
