When Angelina and I began Angelina’s Wings we promised ourselves we would not turn our journal into yet another shopping blog masquerading as a fashion blog. You know the type; the bloggers go on and on about their fave local stores, or why they prefer MAC’s expensive crap makeup over Cover Girl’s cheap makeup because Cover Girl’s smells weird (it does). We committed ourselves to providing information and commentary, something lacking in traditional fashion magazines (when was the last time a Vogue writer trashed a designer’s latest collection?), spiced up with doses of satire.

    There are exceptions to every rule and this article is one of ours. An enterprising company with a sense of humour has released the Keyboard for Blondes and at $50 USD I want one.

I Want
 

    Not only would the new keyboard give our basic black computer setup a badly needed splash of colour, it talks back and has fun titles for boring keystrokes, such as the “I need my space” bar. The “F” keys across the top spell out “Useless keys” but there are dedicated keys ideal for women like me: “Smart Blond Button, OMG, LOL,” and “ZZZD,” girl-text for a boring date. The number keys are used for tapping out musical notes, and the keyboard exclaims “oops” when you backspace and rings like a cash register when you hit the dollar sign. Very useful.

    Angelina, this keyboard is cheap and would look so good in the media centre; think about it.

    Who knew?!? If you follow fashion at all you know what the House of Chanel stands for – gorgeous clothes and accessories, luxe fragrances, and makeup. But these days everybody is branding everything so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

    I want the bike, just to hang on a wall in our home and admire it as a work of art, rather than actually using it in downtown Toronto where it’d be stolen, or fondled by creeps.

Bicycle: $12,000 USD
 

    My girlfriend, who grew up in a fishing household, lusts after the fly fishing rig. “Gear like that,” she says with desire in her eyes, “could turn any girl into a fisherman.”
