Remember those popular snap bracelets back in elementary.
Nokia came up with a phone similar to that.
I can't even fit the idea in my brain. My phone is 'Jurassic' compared to this.
(I chose Barney over a Tyrannosaurus to represent 'Jurassic'. Perfect, no?)
I'm sticking with my humongous phone.

Coke bottles
Even if I don't drink soda, I would like to get my hands on these limited-edition ‘diet Coke’ City Collection bottles. There are available exclusively to Selfridges. Patricia Field, the fashion brain behind Sex and the City and creator of these collectibles says: “The ‘diet Coke’ City Collection captures today's modern women, confidant, glamorous, sexy and more in charge of their own lives, and represents the areas of life that are most important to them such as: ‘career’, ‘passion’, ‘love’ and ‘fashion’. In addition, the designs represent ‘diet Coke’ as a sexy, sassy brand perfectly compatible with today's woman.”
Japanese coins
These will be among 94 types of 500- and 1000-yen coins for each of Japan's 47 prefectures that will be released over the next eight years to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the going into force of the Local Autonomy Law, according to the Finance Ministry.
The 1,000-yen coins for Kyoto and Shimane will be sterling silver, weigh 31.1 grams and measure 40 millimeters in diameter. The government will mint a total of 100,000 of each coin.
The Kyoto coin features a scene from the classic work penned by Murasaki Shikibu (Lady Murasaki), depicting romances among members of the court in medieval Kyoto.
It will be issued before the millennial anniversary Nov. 1 of the Tale of Genji, which first appeared in recorded history in 1008.
The Shimane coin will be minted to celebrate the addition last year of the centuries-old Iwami silver mine to the World Heritage List of the U.N. Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization.
The reverse side of the coins will have a uniform design for all 47 prefectures, featuring snow crystals, cherry blossoms and a crescent moon.
The ministry said Japan will issue coins for Niigata and Nagano prefectures in the first half of fiscal 2009 to commemorate Japanese crested ibises on Sado Island and the Zenkoji Buddhist temple in Nagano City.
It is Amy Daulhouse! This spread it hilarious and fantabulous. I give the styling a two thumbs up. I covet a lot of the pieces specifically the Prada bag in the fifth photo, her Chanel (?) sandals and shorts in the last and third shots respectively, and all of her bangles.
P.S.
Congratulations to Numero Korea! May you print more enticing spreads.

Banana: korak! Un lang un...di sha tao. (Correct! That's it. She is not human)
Here's the proof:
I just stumbled upon a magical magazine editorial. It was featured in the December 2003 issue of Vogue US. Actually, I saw a few of the photos not so long ago but, I hesitated to copy them because they are not complete.
Natalia Vodianova, the model is really perfect as Alice. She must have felt overwhelmed working with significant personalities in the fashion industry. Looks like they had a lot of fun in the shoot.

Down the Rabbit Hole
Faster, faster, faster she fell! Chasing Tom Ford's White Rabbit, our Alice disappears down the never-ending dark passage. Tom Ford for Yves Saint Laurent Gauche sky-blue silk-satin dress.
Curiouser and Curiouser
Beyond nonsense verse and coming-of-age fables, Lewis Carroll's true passion was photographing moody young beauties. Olivier Theyskens, in the guise of Carroll, captures model Natalia Vodianova as Alice Liddell. Natalia wears a Rochas iridescent blue-flower ruffle dress specially designed by Theyskens.
Drink Me...
How was Alice to know the innocent little bottle would make her grow to such a size? As Helmut Lang watched from the wall, she curled her legs up and hoped the designer's organza minidress wouldn't be crushed by her startling height. Dress from the Helmut Lang made-to-measure studio.
Advice from a Caterpillar
Clad in Marc Jacobs's ruffled chiffon minidress, Alice found herself engaged in an infuriatingly roundabout conversation with a mushroom-dweller. Where am I? she wondered...and how have I gotten here?
Pig & Pepper
It was a queer-shaped little creature, and held out its arms and legs in all directions, “just like a starfish.” Chanel Haute Couture embroidered satin jacket with a draped satin skirt and cream leather boot pants. The Chanel designer wears Chrome Hearts necklaces and belt.
The Cheshire Cat
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?” Alice asked sweetly of the cat with a grin as devilish as anything she had ever seen. “ That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” replied our Cat, Jean Paul Gaultier. Blue silk-jersey draped dress by Gaultier Paris.
Tweedledum & Tweedledee
“If you think we're alive, you ought to speak,” said the one marked DEE. Alice, in a Viktor & Rolf multilayered silk dress, stared as the Tweedle duo spouted nonsensical tongue twisters. Rolf Snoeren, left, and Viktor Horsting wear matching suits and bow ties of their own design.
The Mad Tea Party
“No room!” The March Hare and Mad Hatter shouted. “No room!” But Alice plunked down, desperate for some biscuits after a long day of living backward.

Lacroix, as the March Hare, is at far right.
Who Stole the Tarts?
“My name is Alice, so please Your Majesty,” the young girl, draped in Dior Couture, said softly. “ You make me giddy!” screamed the Queen. Dior Haute Couture by John Galliano hand-painted polka-dot dress. Galliano as the Queen of Hearts, wears a Dior Haute Couture coat and is accompanied by his King, Alexis Roche.
The Mock Turtle's Story
“What is his sorrow?” Alice, in Atelier Versace, asked the Gryphon. “Once,” sighed the Mock Turtle, “ I was a real turtle.” Atelier Versace layered silk-tulle and chiffon-organza dress lined in lace. Donatella Versace and Rupert Everett are in Versace.
Through the Looking Glass
Wrapped in ocean-blue Balenciaga couture, Alice perched on the mantel, longing to escape into the shadow world, as her black kitty purred nearby. Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière crystal pleated chiffon dress and grey ankle boots. Shot on location at the Château de Corbeil-Cerf.

Here's Cinderella's article in Telegraph.co.uk
Meet Cinderella, Pig in Boots
By Urmee Khan
Last Updated: 4:32PM BST 10/06/2008
After her birth, the piglet refused to join her brothers and sisters as they splashed in the muck because she suffers with mysophobia - a fear of dirt.
But now the pig has overcome her fears with a pair of green boots made of rubber - which have been created with no footwell so that her trotters slip straight in.
Former pig farmers Debbie and Andrew Keeble, who run a farm near Bedale North Yorkshire, were initially baffled by their piglets behaviour.
Debbie Keeble, 40, said: "It was the strangest thing. When the batch ventured away from their mother, Cinders just stood at the edge of her sty shaking while the others explored.
"We thought it was just that she didn't want to leave the sty or the sow but we soon noticed if we moved them to where there wasn't any mud, she happily left it and roamed around without any nonsense.
Her husband, Andrew, 42, added: "We scratched our heads a bit but then we thought, we wouldn't go in the mud bare-footed, so why not try some wellies?"
Cinderella has now been chosen to front a campaign by the couple to support the plight of pig farmers.
I had a really pleasant lunch date last Sunday with Deco. We tried a new Japanese restaurant and the minute we saw the sushi bar, we instantaneously cried ‘Buffet’ in chorus.
This was our pile after…
Unfortunately for this resto, our sushi palates are still loyal with Yaku, Podium. This is our typical order there.
This was my get up last Sunday.
We will watch a ballet recital next month. After, we will probably have sushi at a hotel near the theatre. I want to wear something like this.
