Karl Lagerfeld Owns 70 iPods - Is That Really Necessary?

GeekSugar — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 09:00:49 -0800

It seems there are some celebrities that just can't get enough geeky gadgets - leaving me to wonder, how many is too many? Designer Karl Lagerfeld owns 70 iPods, according to the March edition of Elle Magazine. Lagerfeld, who has a history at Chloé, Fendi and Chanel and is known for partying with his muses Victoria Beckham and Lindsay Lohan, reportedly converted his 60,000 CD collection onto his arsenal of iPods in December of 2004. Now he owns roughly 70 iPods (I am guessing more than that since it has been a few years) scattered around the globe in his various residences. "The iPod completely changed the way people approach music," he is quoted as saying. And here I was thinking the best part of having an iPod is the fact that you can take songs on and off...Any guesses on how many Posh has?

The City Tech Quiz: Episode 1, "Sleeping With the Frenemy"

GeekSugar — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:40:55 -0700

Whitney and crew kicked off a new season of The City last night, featuring an old friend: Roxy, a straight-shooting but slightly undermining brunette and a new rival for Olivia, Erin, the publicist for Elle magazine. This season's cast of characters wastes no time getting the drama started! I'm looking forward to how Olivia handles her new role at Elle while under Erin's watchful eye.

Even though the characters are busy getting acclimated to all of the changes in their lives, there is a fair amount of spotable tech goodies. Check to see how closely you were paying attention with this quiz!

C'Elegance = Chic Cell Phone Bling Bling

GeekSugar — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 09:01:14 -0700

Icing out your cell phone with personalized charms and gems has long been an artistic and fashionable outlet in Europe and Asia, but has only recently begun to sneak into American culture. Right now my charm affections lie with C'Elegance, a company started by the Cell Phone Bling Group's gold member Suzanne.

Suzanne started the company after a trip to Hong Kong, where she discovered how trendy technology could be. She returned home, started experimenting with making her own charms and quickly teamed up with her daughters to create C'Elegance.

The result are chic, shiny and beautiful charm sets that combine a signature logo charm, Swarovski Crystal and Semi Precious Stones, and personalized charms. All charms are connected to silk cord via a tiny clip, so they can be easily taken off, rotated or worn together.

The line has been featured in Elle Magazine, appeared on Access Hollywood and was even part of the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards.

Prices range from $19 to $250 for jewelry pieces and $2.50 to $12 for charms. Available online at C'Elegance. For a full gallery of charms, read more
