I’m not sure I ever expected to see the words, “snake,” “jewelry,” and “USB” in the same sentence but Bob’s yer uncle, then.
Designer Laurent Hongisto has covered a USB cable in a fabric-like polyurethane material, then given it that slap bracelet touch (but possibly without the actual slap, which might be a good thing).
As the write-up proclaims:
We are always in need of a USB cable to charge up a phone, an i-pod [sic] or load up digital photos from our camera, yet carrying around a USB cable can be quite bothersome and frustrating when we can’t find it. With the Lisco USB Snake by Laurent Hongisto, just slap the USB snake on your wrist and not only will you look fashionable, but you will also never have to go searching for your USB cable again.
This is where I ruin any cool-points I might have accumulated since high school by saying that some of the bracelets pictured look cute. A bit puffy for a wrist accessory but you know the kids these days with their big pants and their colored chalk and their Neve Campbell. Maybe “puffy USB jewelry” is in style these days among the high-school crowd—like using your necklace to break into another friend’s locker for legitimate purposes, or convincing a friend he’d been enrolled in the nonexistent (at my school) “Advanced Placement Theology” class for sophomore year. Not that I ever did any of those things, of course.
