Poster Presentation

I had a poster presentation this past Friday and chose to do the presentation on something called Bodymetrics.
Human Solutions and Bodymetrics joined together to create a 3D body scanner that allows customers to totally skip the process of trying on jeans. It takes women anywhere from 9 to 12 pairs of jeans to find the right one. Personally, I hate trying on jeans. It's the worst. Most stores create jeans with mass production and its hard to find a pair that fits a woman's body shape perfectly. This technology was actually released at a department store called Selfridges, in England in 2004. Two years later, another boutique was opened at Harrods in England. The United States still hasn't seen anything of its kind, so its still an emerging technology here. I am really excited about the technology and hope it gets brought to the U.S. It would be so easy to just order a pair of jeans, as long as your body shape doesn't change.
The presentation went really well and I had fun talking to people about their posters. I saw some really interesting things such as twoddler (Twitter for toddlers). I also really liked Google Wave. It would make it a lot easier to do class projects. The presentation itself was a lot like an elevator pitch. I really enjoyed presenting my poster.

VS Fashion Show

For all of you who are even remotely fashion oriented, or for you guys who love to watch pretty women strut their stuff if their lacy unmentionables, you would know that the Victoria's Secret fashion show was this last Tuesday night. I live for this night every year.



Guys in fraternities even know that no girl will be at their house unless they invite us over to watch this amazing annual event.
Last year, the show was filled with the beautiful angels being just that, angels. They strutted around with amazing diamond studded wings on their backs while showing off the latest fashion forward bras and panties.

This year wasn't much different. The neat thing about the show is that they not only show what the audience would be seeing, but they show what the girls are actually doing to get ready backstage. This year's show showed all of the beautiful girls running around frantic, shaking with nerves, and even dancing to the wonderful jams of the Black Eyed Peas. The downfall of the show is that no one fell over their 8-mile long legs. I know that may be a bit mean, but you have to admit that when these women are as perfect as they are, you try to find a flaw, if any. The show ended with the million dollar bra worn by Marissa Miller. I always wonder how heavy those things are and if anyone in their right mind would actually buy that thing...
