R2-D2 Swimsuit: Tanning on Tatooine
Nothing gets me more worked up than a woman in Star Wars-themed apparel. I don’t care whether it’s a full-bodied Stormtrooper costume or this R2-D2 Swimsuit. If she’s wearing it, I’m drooling. This one-piece swimsuit is modest enough for even the most conservative women, but geeky enough to keep me completely interested. James Lillis designed this R2-D2 Swimsuit, which is available for $85 from Black Milk in sizes XS-L. Link [via]
CleanKey Keyboard is Completely Submersible
Some people have weird needs. Don’t ask me why you would possibly need to type while completely submerged. I don’t think typing an essay will be at the top of your priority list if you’re either a.) swimming or b.) being flooded out of your home. But hey, to each his own. If for some odd reason that you want to blog from the bathtub, just because why the hell not, the Devlin Electronics CleanKey keyboard is waterproof and fully... Continue reading
SwimSport: Keep Your Bathing Suit Dry
While swimming is almost always a blast (save for when your boat capsizes), having a soaking wet swimsuit riding up your crack has never been a pleasure. A new company from Brooklyn called Sun Dry Swim is looking to change ass cracks around the world with a new nanotechnology that repels water from the swimsuit. The result is a self-drying suit that makes beads of water roll right off the material. It even provides extra UV protection from the sun,... Continue reading
Speedo Fast Skin Display
If you’re in NYC or another major metropolitan area, visit your local Speedo store and check out the packaging for the Fast Skin wetsuit. Inspired by shark skin, each suit comes shoved inside a clear, translucent package that resembles a baby shark egg. Tres chic! I wonder if Michael Phelps uses one… Link
Dumpster Jacuzzi
Have no respect for yourself? Excellent. You’ll surely be interested in Michel de Broin’s Dumpster Hot Tub. He essentially took your standard, disgusting dumpster and modified it into a hot tub. It’s a very odd mod and I don’t know what to think of it. I mean, I’m sure it’s relaxing but I’d feel pretty gross hanging out inside a dumpster. Fuck it. My muscles need loosening up. Who’s in?

What’s That Noise? Just My Kid Drowning
Not every kid can swim like Michael Phelps, though every kid ought to. Parents, we understand. Sometimes you just don’t feel like sitting around watching the kids splash the water from the safety of dry land. After all, if they aren’t winning Olympic gold, what’s the point? That’s exactly why you bought the Safety Turtle Wireless Pool Security System for $167, effectively putting a price tag on your child’s life. Now you don’t have to worry about your kids drowning...

HI, I’M MICHAEL PHELPS!
“HAI! I IS MICHAEL PHELPS. ISN’T THIS COOL? I’M USING A COMPUTER UNDERWATER AND HAVE MICHIGAN’S LOGO TATTOO’D TO MAH DICK! O, SNAP. I USE TEH IMACS.” He really isn’t all that photogenic. Link
Got Phelps?
After winning 8 gold medals, the amazing Michael Phelps has been compared to just about every oceanic life form existing on our planet. Yes, Michael Phelps has even been compared to a sea urchin. Of course this has led to an epidemic of Phelps apparel that everyone and their mother will be adorning for the next 30 years or more. Fashionablygeek.com has compiled an assortment of Phelps t-shirts and gear (including the $500 swimsuit). So, show your support and grab... Continue reading
Why Stay Homeless? Get A Skip
Oliver Bishop-Young, a Goldsmiths University graduate, demonstrated projects regarding skips at the New Designers showcase in London earlier this month. For those not familiar with a skip or what it is, simply put: it’s a dumpster. With the massive amount of idle skips laying around the city and all the crap we throw into landfills, we might as well get something out of it. So, Oliver set up a website that allows visitors to search for locations of skips throughout... Continue reading
Waterworld: Submergency Ball
The next time I go swimming, I want one of these Submergency Balls to play with. You can set it to sink or float to any depth in the water. Throw it in and try to find it before the timer goes off and it starts flashing. The ball even blends in with the water, thanks to the aqua blue coloring. With no player limits and basic fun stretched to the max, the Submergency Ball is ideal for anyone over... Continue reading
