Elle Macpherson and Sons at London's Apple Store: Love the Store, Hate the Stairs

GeekSugar — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Is it bad to like a celebrity more because you see them gadget shopping? If it's not, then gorgeous Elle Macpherson and her equally gorgeous sons just made my list. How cute is she, grasping her MacBook and cell phone, taking her sons (he with his own cute red laptop tote) to shop at the Apple Store?

All I have to add is: Be careful, Elle. The stairs at every Apple store seem to be the same: A hot mess. Walking down, kind of perilous, but walking up? Shin-smash city.

Elle MacPherson Launches Interactive Storefront

GeekSugar — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 09:00:16 -0700

During New York Fashion Week, Elle MacPherson Intimates launched a new high tech interactive storefront that allows passersby to revel in the video footage of models through the window with their movements.

Featured on Trendhunter, this storefront operates by using humanlocator technology - a visual advertising system developed by Freeset. Humanlocator tracks full body movement in real time, allowing consumers to participate in and interact with advertising.

It kinda reminds me of when I was little and could see myself on TV from the video cameras in an electronic store. Walking back and forth in front of the TV was always so entertaining! Next time you are in New York, I recommend you check it out. As you can see in the video below, it literally does play off your actions - if that doesn't make you want to go buy a bra, I don't know what will!

Celebs like Kristen Stewart and Paris Hilton like to hit up the Apple store for all of their tech needs, but which famous females have been caught asking for some Apple assistance in the pristine retail store?

Well we've already spotted Rachel McAdams and Elle Macpherson utilizing the Apple stores' staff and services and now we can add the star of Gossip Girl - Blake Lively - to the list! This pic was taken last Saturday when Blake attended the grand opening of Apple's Upper West Side store. Maybe she was doing some early holiday shopping?

Do You Go to the Apple Store for Tech Help?

GeekSugar — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 04:30:02 -0700

On Tuesday afternoon, the adorable Rachel McAdams was spotted in the Apple Store in Toronto getting some iPod help at the Genius Bar. This got me thinking. . . If celebs like McAdams and Elle Macpherson can swallow their pride by going into an Apple Store and asking for help, I'm wondering how much everyone else utilizes the Apple Store's staff and services? And when I say services, I'm not just talking about the added bonus of being able to meet men there!

Do You Enjoy Gadget Shopping as Much as You Enjoy Clothes/Bags/Shoe Shopping?

GeekSugar — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 13:10:29 -0700

Seeing Elle MacPherson at the Apple Store yesterday, dressed cute to shop, makes me think of how much I love to go gadget shopping. From walking around and playing with a potential new piece of tech, to the moment you get it home and unbox it - it's as fun to me as carrying home a new pair of shoes. It helps that the setup of say, the Apple store, is inviting and has great customer service (all they need to do is add a coffee shop in there and I've got a nice little Saturday planned).

Of course, I love all kinds of shopping, so maybe I'm a poor representative. . .so what do you think? Is retail therapy the same, no matter what you're buying?
