Green Chic #5

New meaning to 'juicy couture'....meet the 'juice bag'

It's all well and good to wear organic cotton...but when you can enjoy the comforts of modern living, such as an ipod or a cellphone without plugging into an electrical outlet, how genius is that?

As you may or may not know, there has existed once upon a time a very workable electric car (the movie Who Killed the Electric Car literally made me cry...no joke), and solar panel technology has been around for years and years. I think we can all dream of a utopian home completely off the grid...maybe with a watermill off a river, windmills, organic gardening, and yes, solar power. ahhhhhhhhhh.

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't have one of these homes yet, and as fashionable as 'green' is, people don't seem to be ready yet for that sort of change. But hey, why not start with a solar paneled beach tote? Spend all day baking in the sun, and listening to tunes. Or hell, why not this crazy solar paneled bikini? It even has a USB drinks cooler. Fantastic... if you don't like

swimming, and you love the babes on Bladerunner. 

You could also do the backpack if you are hiking and want to charge your GPS...could come in handy...and maybe ruin plot points for treacherous lost-in-the-woods survivor movies. Or else, perhaps you want the messenger bag, to keep your cellphone juiced for all your business meetings. 

Granted, the technology is not yet there to power a large device such as a laptop with one of these bags. It can't store up quite enough power at a time...but one day...one day....

Hey, let's face it, we all run around with a bag full of devices: iPod, cellphone, PDA, GPS, digital camera...and we all panic when the little red battery light goes on...this no longer has to effect us. AND we can burn less coal. Who's in?
