Technosexuality, Gadgets and New Age Man

Technosexuality: a dandy narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle and gadgets; a straight man who is in touch with his feminine side but has fondness for electronics such as cell phones, PDA’s, computers, software, and the web.

In other words, a cool geek.

Hey! Thats Ian Lagac and your humbly, me. Muahahahahaha!

Seriously, back to the point. I believe the emergence of this class of individual is not too surprising given then any ubersexual or metrosexual will eventually matures and evolve. Males and alpha males living in the metropolis, both straights and otherwise, working or not, making their dreams come true or just laying around chilling out, must equipped with the latest gadget. You name it and they got it.




Smartphones like Blackberry, Iphone, Palm Pre. Mobile mp3 like Ipod Nano, Ipod Touch, Sony Walkman. Camera such as DSLR, Sony, Canon Ixus and Leica M8. Netbooks and Macbooks are the words these days. These are here to stay.

As Charles Darwin once quoted,"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."

Look around you, that if its you are reading this now at Starbucks with a wireless netbook sipping that latte, and see for yourself. Ask yourself this,"Is that guy gay? Is the guy sitting next to me straight?" You could not have seen more examples of these in any metropolis, anywhere between Tokyo to Shanghai from Manila to Singapore. Techno-males are here and they are everywhere.



Goodbye beard. Adios to rugged-ol-fitting-torn jeans. Sayonara to messy oily hair srinkled with dandruff. Au revoir to camping hiking boots in Starbucks. Welcome smartphones and Iphones. Huanyin to Ipods and Itouch 16G. Selamat datang to Macbook Air and Netbooks 10".

Gadgets are here to stay. Imagine your journey in a tube 10 feet underground travelling at 30 miles an hour. Look around you. How many instances that you are able to see individuals with wires hooked to their Ipod. How many of these young males staring at their PSP? Aplenty, that is.

Look at your friends with the latest smartphones (btw, PDA is a cliche and so-old-school gadget by now, which generation are you from, you say?) Everyone wants a Wii, gotten a PS2 and having that kick-ass 42" LCD TV in their living room. All of us wanted that new stylish DSLR or M8 Leica camera. Of course, some of us wants a simpler Sony slim pinkish camera in color to match with their bags.

The emergence of these category of people is here. They are no lie and they are equipped with latest news and information. They blog and they Facebook. They upload their latest photos online and they share like no tomorrow.


Catch up, ol' man or end up like the PDA, ol' skool.

Welcome to the new world.

Victoria Beckham Hairstyles

I am not making any suggestions. I just think the evolutionary of hair is really fantastic. Victoria Beckham hairstyle, IMHO, has been sort of an inspiration and guidelines for some modern edge cool sexy looking female.

I saw this hair and instantly, makes me wanna go and blog about it. From long curly hair to the current short style hair. I think it looks good on her. Hahaha. I think i will be labeled as "he-feminism", but what the heck? I just wanted to say that her hair looks great with her style. What do you think?

Her latest hairstyle at the opening ceremony of Armani Store in States

And some of her other hairstyles in the past, which IMHO, looks modern and stylish as well!

Converse "Cult" All Stars

This shoes is a cult. Sort of Apple and its I series of gadgets. It can makes you drool over and over again by just looking at their products. Apple has its Iphone and Ipod while this shoes has its Chuck Taylor, John Varvatos and Jack Purcell. Gawd! You do know what shoe i am talking about right?

Its casual, cool and have a distinctive look. Those who wore them, looks simple and casual but yet cool and smooth. Yes. Converse is what i am talking about. Collaboration with designer brands to come out with different styles, designs and colors makes them even better than ever.

Gwad! I am not joking. Look at these designs. It is British Rock Series design that associates with with Brit signature inprints makes you a differenciator class of your own. I love the designs. Are these shoes cool or what?






I personally love the Jack Purcell multicolor ankle strap on.

Nouveau Hermitism

Warning: You might encounter massive headaches after reading this post, due to the fact that you are out-dated from the cyberspace arena for a gazillion years, especially when you read the acronyms. Acronyms is explained at the bottom of post. Be warned!



Have you notice recently, for the last couple of years, that there are new trend of young adolescent youth emerging from the internet-connectivity-society? This newly trend is different from the previous generation of youth. How are different?

They go online and live their life online. They play MMOPRGs in regardless of their gender males or females, in regardless of age from 8 to 56, such as WOW, which is already the most successful games ever created. They have an online identity, which they refer as IGN. Most probably they are even known from their IGN rather than names!


They have massive updated information of everything from the online world, from news locally and globally, from fashion tips and celebrity gossips, from eBay and lelong.com, from online shopping and online air-ticketing booking, from hotel reservation and food reviews, from phone reviews and Amazon.com. They have more information than you know. Seriously!



They blogs and reads more now than ever. They blogs and reviews everything, from food to drinks, from restaurants to cafes, from mobile phones to IPODs, from magazines to books, from their latest games to that character in WOW. They become more open than ever and more willing to share everything from opinions, thoughts, Mp3s, JPEGs and AVIs in their harddisk. They are more connected and more network in their Facebook and MySpace than the president of Namibia.


They are fast and mobile. They listens to their IPOD and have more gadgets than anyone from the previous generation. Gadgets such as not-the-latest-phone (youth do not chase after the latest phone anymore, rather a phone with style, usability and functions to suits their needs), a blackberry (its not a fruit), a 8.0mp camera with wide angle lens and LEICA lens, their IPOD touch with 32gb memory, their international passport, their Armani sunglasses or Ray-Ban aviators and every other thing that they can fit into their hand carry bags.



They went to more places and more countries than anyone when they are in their 20's. They can popped out in China one day and appears the next week in Australia. They can be a French who speaks perfect Chinese putonghua who lives in Shanghai. They can appear in Hong Kong this moment, be off to Paris and holiday the next month in Colombia with their friends. They have friends all over the globe. They can travel to Japan alone and will still be able to survive all by themselves for their holiday without any problems, alone. Thanks to the internet, MSN and FB.

One such example would be Nicolekiss who is a world traveller and famous Malaysia blogger, who likes to blogs about her journey and experiences. Another example of a famous blogger, Xiaxue, who choose to live her life from the rat race and still be able to buy her new Sony VIAO notebook that costs a bomb!

They no longer talks deeply in those smooth pre-english era conversations, rather they MSN, SMS and message each other by using internet, Facebook and they loyal faithful mobile. They uses acronyms such as AFK, LMAO, ROFL, BBFN, gtg, TTYL and et cetera. They are multilinguals and be able to speak in various languages from French, Spanish, Italians, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Chinese, English, Cantonese, Tagalog and much more.

They are good looking, they are trendy, they live their life to the fullest, they enjoys the unknown, they are fun and witty, they likes travelling, they loves freedom, they are fashionable and most importantly they are truly an enjoyable companion.



They belongs to Nouveau Hermitism.



I believe no one really understands how powerful this emerging group of youth are. They are the future. They are the next generation of consumers who thinks and reasons differently. They are no longer being "trapped" into the rat race like the previous baby boomers or generation X. They do not NEED to climb the career ladder, stabbing everyone in the back, pressuring themselves to get that promotion or work that 12 hours daily 6 days a week. They understands and feels, better about the world, society and life more than any other generations. Thanks to internet again.



They are NH, Nouveau Hermit!

LV: Fashionista?

LVMH or simply known as Louis Vuitton, are mostly, associated with branded and classy look. Trendy joneses (people that goes with the crowd) rushed to LV boutiques to get their handbags. Girls spend their yearly bonus to get 1 for their own. Asian boyfriends and husbands buys for their love ones. But, is LV really that classy?




Ask French this question: Do they buy LV in France? Chances are they will not. LVMH might be the country's prominent fashion employer and brings a lot of international business profit back to France, but chances are, the younger crowds might go to H & M while those classier ones, will go tailored-made.





Individualistics and trend setters normally goes "un-branded" fashions. Its about mix and match. Its about creating your own image and identity. Why would anyone really wanna go and advertise someone else name on their chest or their underwear? Looks like walking advertisement for me. Looks so boring, and dull. Just imagine someone walks with a big CALVIN KLEIN in front of you. Yucks!

No doubt. LVMH is very successful in creating their brand image globally. Asians flocked to their boutique to get their latest fashion handbags, lining up for their new range of products introduced at their new boutique.

But, this picture, ruins it all!

Anyone still wanna go and get one LV-themed bags, accessories or fashion-items?

Does the pictures above looks filthy, dirty, disgusting giving you an image of the classy and branded Louis Vuitton bags? We can even make a protest of pigs being abused with LV tattoos. Pigs!

My question: When i insult you by calling you PIG, am i insulting you or insulting the pig?

*Catch the joke?*

Same with LV scenario as the picture above. Pigs tattooed with LV logo. Are we insulting LV or insulting the pig? Hahahahaha!

I believe the management at LV must be concerned or furious over the incident or pictures circulating over the internet. If i am the owner or the management, i will rage all over and make sure the person who comes out with this picture, pays! Lawsuit!

On the lighter note, the pictures below are far much more cuter and adorable.

Anyone wanna get this pig as pet? Damn expensive you know! LV pig pet!
