Chanel x Segway [GADGETS]
I don't think most people who ride Segway's are fashion monters, but this bad boys is fitter with a Chanel 2.55 handbag on the handlebars , quilted handgrips, quilted mud flaps in matching black leather, and Chanel badges on the wheels, steering head and handlebars. This baby tops out at 12mph, but I suppose if you’re really important people will wait for you.

Toronto Raptors Trade Jermaine O'Neal For Shawn Marion! [SPORTS]
It's probably for the best...welcome to the city Shawn!
After weeks of discussion, the Toronto Raptors have ended their brief experiment with centre Jermaine O'Neal. Sources have confirmed the club has traded O'Neal and swingman Jamario Moon to the Miami Heat for forward Shawn Marion and guard Marcus Banks in a deal designed to free up salary-cap space this summer, and to solidify the team's underperforming small forward position. Toronto will also send a conditional draft pick to Miami, and receive cash considerations.
Gene therapy Offers Hope Of Cure For HIV [WOW]
This truly astounding news! The remarkable case gives new impetus to the development of gene therapy for HIV which could ultimately replace the need for expensive and toxic antiretroviral drugs. Instead of taking drugs for life, HIV sufferers might instead have a one-off treatment that would leave them virus-free.
The 42-year-old American had been infected with HIV for a decade. He was treated with antiretroviral drugs in Berlin, where he lives, for four years to hold the disease in check, but then developed leukaemia. Since being given a bone marrow transplant two years ago, he has not taken antiretroviral drugs to control HIV and has had no resurgence of either disease. He is believed to be the longest HIV-free survivor who was previously treated with antiretroviral drugs. Full details of the case are published for the first time today in The New England Journal of Medicine. An editorial in the journal says it "places further emphasis on gene therapies" for HIV, adding: "The case paves the way for innovative approaches that provide long-lasting viral control with limited toxicities for persons with HIV infection."

The ROO Easy Chair [FURNITURE]
I definitely want this joint! Perfect for those Xbox 360/PS3 showdowns...or even sexy time!The ROO chair is part of Woodnotes' Spring 2009 collection, and although it looks and feels like a beanbag it's filled with a material that's guaranteed to maintain its shape. There's also a smaller version, the MY chair, that's more for sitting comfortably, as opposed to lounging or laying down on the ROO. MY $1,500, ROO $1,900.

Alexander Wang Designs Limited-Edition Condoms
This is actually a pretty dope idea! When Planned Parenthood approached me to collaborate with them on a project that makes condoms more appealing to women, I loved the idea!" Wang said. "I used a spare design that felt sexy, modern and empowering; after all, women should always come first!”
Fashion designer Alexander Wang not only has a fashion show planned for February 14, he's also debuting his new limited-edition condom on the same day. Wang has partnered with Planned Parenthood to be the next designer for Proper Attire, the fashionable condoms mean to encourage women to carry condoms. The condoms come in five styles (basic,colored, studded, extra large and sheer) in packaging created by a designer. Last September, Yigal Azrouël created a line for the brand which was shown at his fashion show. Proper Attire is sold at Thompson Hotels, some Planned Parenthood centers, other select locations and online, with all profits going to Planned Parenthood. Packages of three sell for $5.99.

Rihanna Bloodied, Beaten, Bitten By Chris Brown [DRAMA]
I know this isn't really a gossip blog, so I held off this until there were some substantiated claims made...Now this is getting out of hand! Everyone has probably heard, but TMZ is going in an unearthing a lot more than I'd ever think would have happened!
From TMZ:
As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face -- there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.
And we now know this... Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that's what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack...And we've learned it was not Rihanna who called 911. Someone in the area heard her screams and called.

Free Gucci Man - Ideall Clothing [BOOTLEGGED]
If you’re an OG go&d visitor you may remember my post on the Air Yeezy’s, well my man Bryan E has had his Free Gucci t-shirt ripped, re-dipped and ready ship by some second class website out there. To sweeten the deal, they are apparently offering a free mixtape with the purchase! Bootlegging is not cool, as it is no longer the day prohibition…so if you stumble upon this don’t get caught slipping…if it’s not Ideall, it’s not real! And if you’re not on some real ni**a sh*t, you ain’t nothin’!

World's Biggest Breasts! [SEX]
WOW!28-year-old Sheyla Hershey of Brazil is the proud owner of the world's largest breasts -- with a staggering, life-threatening, and unfortunately-named bra size of 38KKK.
In May, ABC News reported that Hershey's breasts were 34 FFF after eight surgeries and one gallon of silicone. But she wasn't done yet. On her way to achieving her dream, she encountered certain roadblocks, like Texas law. The state limits the amount of silicone that one person put in their body because the implants could kill her. So she headed to Brazil, which has no such restrictions, and walked away with the breasts of her dreams.
Here's the bio on her website, SheylaHershey.net

Voga Italia Sparkling Pinot Grigio
I sampled a bottle of the non-sparkling Voga a little while back, and rather enjoyed it. This would make an excellent aperitif!Voga Sparkling is made from 100% Pinot Grigio from the mountainous province of Trentino and the Veneto region (home to Venice) of Northern Italy.
At 12% alcohol, it's a striking golden color with a fine effervescence, aromas of white blossoms and ripe fruit, and a clean citrusy finish. It sells for $15.99.

Transparent Pool Table [GADGETS]
I want this...someone spot me 40k!As part of his senior year ID project, Australian Craig Nottage designed a transparent billiards table; now he's founded his own company in Adelaide, Nottage Design, and made the table a reality. A special combination of glass and resin provide the same resistance you'd get with felt, but are completely transparent; the tubing of the slick ball-return mechanisms are also exposed. At AUS $40,000 it ain't cheap, but it's nice to see someone turn a senior project into a reality--and build a company around it.
