jewel tunes

while i wouldn't endorse the zune over the ipod, if you're gonna get a non-apple mp3 player, get this one from urban outfitters. it's the zune dani stahl designed for her factory girl column, and it's sugar sweet. check out the back:



it's a limited edition of 1,000 so don't take your time! and p.s. it's preloaded with some nylon-y songs and videos, plus 77 nylon covers.

cab for cuties

this article from the AP jump-started adorable sunday! nissan is marketing the pino, a tiny cute car for girls that's actually just a slight redesign of the cheaper suzuki alto.

i found this interesting:

... in most countries, experts tend to advise against making autos pink or adding other "cute" features to appeal to female drivers partly because that may smack of sexism and turn off women -- except in Japan.

it does seem like a turn-off, and i'm actually not so into the look of the pino. maybe it's the dorky guy posing next to it in the photo? or am i losing my cute radar?
