Weird Science

We're all for advances in technology, but this is freaking weird.

Apparently, scientists are in the process of developing biodegradable, silicon-silk devices to be implanted within the human body for a number of reasons, one of which being the prospect of an LED tattoo skin display.

And yes, it's exactly how it sounds.

Evidently, there would be silicon circuits inside thin, flexible films of silk which would conform to a persons skin from the inside. Eventually, the silk onto which the technology is mounted would dissolve leaving only the teensy tiny electronics inside the body. The technology "could carry LEDs, turning the wearer's skin into a screen." Freaky!

MIT's Technology review says that this technology, "might act as photonic tattoos that can show blood-sugar readings, as well as arrays of conformable electrodes that might interface with the nervous system." Well, that's kinda cool, we guess. Still kind of weird.

What's more, "stimulated by touch, an Electronic Tattoo traverses across the landscape of the body, navigated by desire." What! That is so wild!

We're conflicted about this - on the one hand, there's no denying that this technology is unbelievably cool and intriguing. On the other hand, the idea of having electronics inside your skin, for decorative purposes no less, is really freaking weird.

Watch the clip above to get a better sense of exactly how this would look.

What do you think about the technology??

Taylor Looks Sleepy On The Cover Of Nylon Japan

Yikes!

Is this the best shot they got??

Taylor Momsen is on the cover of Nylon Japan, and she looks les miz. Her hair looks stringy and waxy and dirty all at once. And it looks like they caught her mid-blink!!

Is she just really tired? Is it all the black eye-gunk? Does she think she's giving a "come hither" look??

Who knows!

All we know is, this look isn't working. It's ok to make fashion mistakes at 16, but learn from them and move on!

Kate Moss Takes Heat For Pushing Skinny

This has gotten way out of hand.

Kate Moss is under fire for allegedly having saying, "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

The media is having an absolute field day; The Sun newspaper in Britain interviewed model Katie Green, who has been working against the use of "size zero models," and said the comments were "shocking and irresponsible." Mary George of the British eating-disorder charity Beat said the comments were "very unfortunate."

We want to set the record straight.

First of all, this is full quotation from Kate's interview with WWD:

WWD: Do you have a motto?
KM: There are loads. There’s “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.” That’s one of them. You try and remember, but it never works.

She's not making some grand declaration, but rather, she's explaining how she tries to keep her shape, and then admits that it doesn't work. For goodness sake, she is a model after all, and as much as we wish this weren't the case, staying thin comes with the territory. That said, it's not as though she's advocating starvation and size-zero frames.

Secondly, Kate didn't invent this saying. It's an age-old phrase. Unfortunately, over the years it has become a mantra for the eating disordered, and we do think that she should have been sensitive to this fact, but to us this seems like sort of an off-the-cuff, train-of-thought comment. We think everyone is overreacting.

What do U think?
