Kensington SlimBlade Media Mouse: A Remote Too!

GeekSugar — Sat, 26 Jan 2008 07:15:11 PST

I've long been impressed by Kensington's wireless mice, and they have me again with their SlimBlade Media Mouse. A laser, wireless mouse that feels great in your hand and the best part is that it becomes a remote when you flip it over! You can use it to play, pause, change the track, and turn the volume up and down on media players like iTunes.The mouse runs for $60 and comes in burgundy or black, and will go into sleep mode when your computer does so that the battery doesn't wear out as fast. So next time you have a party, you won't have to rush to your computer when "YMCA" starts playing on your shuffle playlist at your classy cocktail party!

When I first got my hands on Kensington's new wireless notebook laser mouse, I was delightfully surprised at how tiny it was. Specifically designed for women, this pink and silver mouse comfortably sits in your hand while you use it to navigate your way around your desktop. Its high resolution laser sensor tracks the slightest movement on almost any surface while its 2.4Ghz wireless technology provides a wireless range up to 30 feet. Two great features include the mini receiver which is easily stored inside the mouse and will automatically turn off when stowed, as well as the detection light, that will warn you when the battery reaches low battery levels.

The perfect travel accessory alongside your laptop, this highly efficient mouse will provide you with months of usage on a single AA battery. Each mouse comes in a lovely white box with a bright red bow, to symbolize the best part of this mouse - Kensington's participation in the Go Red For Women's movement campaign. Kensington is a proud supporter of this movement, donating $125,000 to help combat heart disease, the number one killer of American women.

Elle Fanning Looks Saintly (Literally) in Rodarte Couture in A Magazine

Fashionista — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 08:34:11 PST

We're excited to announce our new partnership with one of our favorite sites, Fashionista. We'll be bringing you some of their best fashion finds, shopping stories, and style news. Today they're giving us a peek at Elle Fanning's gorgeous editorial in A Magazine:

Rodarte designers Kate and Laura Mulleavy curated the latest issue of A Magazine, and for the editorials, they used their favorite muses Elle Fanning and Kirsten Dunst. Rodarte has just posted Elle Fanning’s story on Facebook, photographed by Bill Owens, and it’s gorgeous. Fanning alternately looks like a kid - carrying a surfboard, wearing a Pearl Jam T - and a saint, wearing a crown and Rodarte couture in a ’70s California living room. The editorial is inspired by the Mulleavy’s childhood experience growing up in California, and the result is hauntingly nostalgic.

Kate Middleton Wears a One-Shoulder Gown to Host a Black-Tie Dinner With William

Lauren Turner — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:01:03 PST

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got dressed up to entertain at St. James Palace in London this evening. The duo hosted a three-course dinner benefiting the National Memorial Arboretum, which is the location of an Armed Forces Memorial remembering those who have died in conflict. Kate Middleton chose a glamorous one-shoulder Jenny Packham gown for the occasion while Prince William wore a classic tux. Both accessorized their black-tie outfits with a red poppy recognizing the upcoming Remembrance Day holiday.

Kate has been the subject of pregnancy rumors after refusing to taste peanut paste during a visit to a UNICEF food bank in Copenhagen earlier this month. The palace won't confirm or deny the speculation, but it has recently released news about the couple. Kate and Will are planning to move into Kensington Palace permanently in 2013, but first they'll have to endure two months apart when William is deployed to the Falkland Islands as part of his Royal Air Force duties early next year.

Princess Margaret: The Original Celebrity Princess

Annie Scudder — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:21:08 PST

Prince William and Kate Middleton are officially moving into Kensington Palace's 20-room apartment 1A, after it undergoes about $1.6 million in renovations. The apartment has a garden, a nursery, and lots of space, and it was the home of the queen's younger sister Princess Margaret until her death in 2002. The big move is putting the late princess back in the headlines. Before there was Kate Middleton or Princes Diana, Margaret mixed royalty with celebrity. The press followed every detail of her personal life, including her marriage to Lord Snowdon, the first royal wedding to be televised. The couple was given a retreat on a private island in the Caribbean as a wedding present. Their glamorous jet-set life grabbed headlines and those in her circle were dubbed "the Margaret set."

But the original "It" princess's legacy wouldn't be complete without some scandals. Near the time of her sister Elizabeth's coronation, Margaret fell in love with a divorced man, Peter Townsend, who was 16 years older than her. She was forced to choose between a royal life and love, and ultimately decided not to marry. Instead in 1960, she married photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones, who became Lord Snowdon. Soon after there were rumors of affairs, drugs, and drinking, as well as questions about his sexuality. When pictures of Margaret with a young lover surfaced, her husband moved for a divorce. It later came out that Lord Snowdon may have fathered a child months before their marriage. Take a look back at Margaret's glamorous and controversial life now.
