Back in the day you either sat in a cube in front of a computer and secretly looked at porn while your boss was off playing golf with some trophy wife by his side (whom I totally didn’t have sex with, by the way) or you worked with your hands, wrist deep in shit or half-dead from back pain. As time goes on, the line between blue and while collar work has become increasingly thin. Computer engineers particularly require skills of both styles.

This awesome LT-XL Portable Office bag is made with the sky blue worker in mind, splitting the bag into the hardcore tool side, and the slightly less hardcore office supply side. You can also store a laptop and other delicate electronics right in the same bag as you keep assorted screwdrivers, which really cuts down on the man power. One less bag equals more arm room for other important shit.

My girlfriend will use this bag whether she likes it or not.

The Keybag is a purse made of keyboard keys, so for once you’ll know exactly how to press her buttons. Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all night.

Don’t judge a book by its cover. Unless, of course, the cover is all that remains of the poor thing. Look… I love books. Not only the actual reading process, but the actual aesthetic of print. It pains me to see pages ripped out of a hardback for fashion’s sake. Even if the novel happens to be a wimpy Nancy Drew mystery.

These Hardback Handbags are made of discarded hardback book covers. For the fashionable lit-chick, I don’t see many other cooler alternatives. Designer Caitlin Phillips has a whole crap load of bag volumes available at her site.

Like many of you, I’ve accumulated more eco fabric tote bags than I know what to do with. There is just no way I’d ever buy enough groceries to fill all of these things. So instead of wasting perfectly good fabric, why not use the bags to create something you’ll actually use?

These DIY eco tote bag pillows are an awesome way to recycle your eco-friendliness. The bags might not be made with the most comfortable material, but even sandpaper is managable if stuffed with soft fluff.

What… they couldn’t find enough chinchillas? They had to resort to slaughtering poor, defenseless vegetables for the sake of fashion? Make them out of alligator, fox, or hell, even human, but leave the vegetables alone! Think about their families!

The French gallery “Le goût de Luxe,” or Taste of Luxury, integrates edible edibles, mostly fruits and vegetables, into fashionable products. Check out some artichoke and raspberry carnage after the jump.

I can’t help that I’m a better person than you. It’s just how it is. I use a reusable fabric bag, rather than one of those ghastly paper or plastic bags. It’s the never ending battle of good versus evil and I’m on the “good” side of the spectrum. I recycle everything I possibly can.

I hop in my Hummer, cigar and aerosol air freshener in hand and I head over to the grocery store, ready to prove to the world just how much I care about the Earth’s well being. Want to world to know how much better you are than them? $7.99 is the price of eternal salvation.

This purse is supposedly based on Paris Hilton’s former pooch, Tinkerbell. It is supposed to reflect the “trend and fashion” of carrying around a small dog. Sure, that’s a big trend in L.A. and New York, but I’m pretty sure nobody in Columbus, Ohio is doing this. That’s why they should shell out the $317 for this Dead Dog Purse. It costs as much as a real dog but comes in the form of rigor mortis. Now that’s style.

This won’t be the first time we’ve seen a goldfish trapped inside a small bag. Thankfully, this time the goldfish happens to be a small toy inside a bag of soap. Yes, that’s soap you see above, not water. It mimics the fish you’d get from playing a game of chance at the county fair. The kind you flush down the toilet hours later.

I will admit they do look pretty neat. At $17 for three bags, it’s not the cheapest hand soap in the world, but it’s a cheap gift you can get someone you hate.

Ha! Get it? It’s a laundry bag, with a dollar sign on it! Not only can you fool the other broke bastards at the laundromat into thinking you’ve struck it rich, you’ll also be able to crack terrible jokes regarding money laundering and actual laundry. Terrible, I’m aware. $21.69 and a sense of humor.

Here’s an easy way to not only make your giant camera lens more portable but also mask it from unsuspecting wildlife. LensCoats are custom lens covers that are available for a wide variety of lenses and extenders. It offers protection from bumps, jars and nicks, while also providing a thermal barrier which protects your equipment from becoming frozen in ice.

In addition to the camouflage design, the LensCoat is also available in black; just in case you don’t want to embarrass yourself during a more “suburban” shot. Prices can range from around $20 for the camera bag (shown on the left) to around $80 for multi-segmented lens covers (shown on the right). No doubt you’ll be photographing in harsh conditions at some point or another, so make sure you’re prepared.
