{title}Choreographed Wedding Dances - Couples Innovate to Impress
Youtube reveals dozens of newly married couples interrupting the middle of their first dance to bust out choreographed entertainment...sweet! New brides and grooms aren't content to do the traditional… 		This was fun! I went over to Youtube and looked up some of the others. The couple from the UK that did the Dirty Dancing number was funny, but this was the best. Choreography "first dance" is a great idea. It can also be done for anniversary parties, birthdays ... anywhere where a couple with a reputation for having two left feet can surprise friends. (go'in like 90 and still can't catch up)

{title}QUESTION: Color Avatars or Black & White? Please Comment
Hey Trend Hunters! Quick question: should we use color avatars or black and white? I've temporary uploaded the color avatars that I have on hand, and if people like it I can help to convert everyone's pictures to vivid color. Alternatively, we can switch back to black and white. PLEASE COMMENT W… 		I like color.

Among the world’s most luxurious dog collars is this £500,000 designer label available at Harrods in London. It is designed by jeweler Stephen Webster and features 14.46 carats of diamonds and a 24K… 		The model they used for this one is like Mastercard priceless!

{title}Billionaires Hiding Status - Choosing the Simplicity Over Luxury
These five billionaires prefer to keep their personal lifestyles simple. You'll recognize them from the companies they keep. Enron, Ikea, Meijer Grocery, and Google. They buy suits off the rack, drive… 		Somebody should write a book on how to land a billionaire, or what do you get if you walk the streets of Omaha with a warm burger?

{title}Hairbands Made of Condoms - STD Styles Take Recycling Too Far
Here it is, your YUCK moment of the day! In China, they are making hair bands out of colorful, recycled condoms. Would you pay 3 cents for a 10 pack of STD-infested hair bands? "Even though the condoms… 		So, how does the manufacturer get inventory? Do they put "2 cent return" on trojan packaging or what? Maybe the water cooler chat is "I see you had a good time over the weekend ;-), which one wore the ribbed?"

{title}Twin Toilets Face Each Other - The TwoDaLoo
Ah, togetherness, the feeling that keeps a relationship on solid ground. The TwoDaLoo is worth a look at if for no other reason other than the name. The connected twin toilets are not only an interesting… 		Actually, I always wondered why bathrooms were designed with two sinks, but only one loo, causing either him or her to make a beeline to the other bathroom and come back to wash hands.

{title}Chocolate Flavored Soda - Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper
We never stop. Even when we have exactly what we want, we continue to change things up. The beverage industry is notorious for this. Dr. Pepper, for example, is introducing Cherry Chocolate Diet Dr Pepper.… 		One of my first jobs was a soda jerkess at a soda fountain in Philly. We made the sodas for customers using syrups and seltzer water: coke syrup with vanilla, cherry, chocolate, lemon, and lime. Young adults drank this stuff by the barrel in the late 1950s. It amazes me that it has taken 50 years for the bottlers to catch on.

{title}Split Personality Car - Half Retro, Half Modern, All Wood
Beautiful wood is showing up in all kinds of designs. One of the most unusual is this wood car with a split personality. Half the car is a modern design other half is a retro convertible, but it's all wood. Underneath is a traditional powerplant and drive train. The body is water proof and the owner… 		I noticed no mention of splinters in the video.

{title}Fat David Statue - Move, Don't Get Fat Campaign
The usually sculpted David has been recreated to show what would have happened to his ordinarily chiseled abs had he lived his life the way the majority of our society does today. The "If you don't move,… 		Makes him look like he wants to grab a Heineken and debate whether or not the Patriots are going to the Superbowl.

{title}Bianca Bartz, Editor and Publicist for TrendHunter.com (INTERVIEW)
Roughly a year ago, Bianca Bartz spiked onto the list of top Trend Hunters. Fast forward to the end of summer, and she became our full time editor and publicist. So how did she get the job and what makes… 		I think all of you are doing a terrific job at Trendhunter and I agree about the mainstream media.

{title}Geek Tattoos - 16 Fake Tattoos for Geeks, Nerds and Hackers
One of the things temporary tattoos are good for are for freaking people out. These temptoos work on two levels. If you are a geek but want to fit in with the cool kids, this is a great alternative to… 		I saw one of those next to a traffic cop a few weeks ago. Right next to the big firey dragon on his forearm, it read I (heart) speeders and donuts.

{title}Multi-Billion Dollar Airport - Beijing's Luxury Terminal
In February of next year, the world's largest luxury airport will open in Beijing, arriving in time to accommodate the international tourists arriving for the Summer 2008 Olympic Games. One single building,… 		I really envy the person, who gets the duck neck food concession stand at the airport.

{title}$207 Million Confiscation - Real Life Visual
Nothing high tech here - just a once in a lifetime visual. This is what $207 million dollars looks like. Supposedly, the DEA made a drug raid in Mexico and found this personal stash of cash. Never put… 		Well, there you are, the all American dream. You are cruising down a dark road in your 10-year-old Chevy, listening to your knackered oil rings, when off the shoulder of the road, you see two drug dealers shot to death and a duffle bag laying there with $10 million inside. Do you do your civic duty, or go to the Ferrari Dealer just up ahead?

{title}Girly Rides - Top Cars For Women
Let's be honest about women and cars for a second. The truth is, women are the primary buyers and decision makers when it comes to vehicles in the US, specifically, female baby-boomers. So what do they… 		Right on with this one! I've been driving a Chrysler Sebring, but have seriously put the PT Cruiser on my wish list for next purchase or lease.

{title}Fox Cuts Off Anti-War Speech - Sally Fields At Emmy's
Actress Sally Fields took the opportunity to express her feelings for war when she accepted her Emmy award Sunday, but Fox wasn't pleased with speech. A flustered Fields, 60, was cut off by the network… 		I'm with Sally on this one. Actually, I'd like to see Fox do that to Bill O'Reilly when he gets on one of his rants and won't let guests get in a "fair and balanced" word.

{title}Viral - O.J. Simpson Arrested for Armed Robbery While 'I Did It' Book Hits #1 on Amazon
The viral news of the day is the juxtaposition of O.J. Simpson being arrested for robbery the same week that the "I Did It" book climbs to #1 on Amazon.com Last year, O.J. tried publishing a book called… 		He may have gotten that aquittal by cozening on the part of his attorneys, but the one thing that ticked me off about the entire fiasco was the wide-spread lack of "presumption of innocence" surrounding that first trial - a basic constituional right and part of our judicial system. I do hope the Goldman's receive the 33 million in royalties.

{title}Singapore Legalizes Oral & Anal Sex - Homosexuals Left Out
The city-state will make its first major penal code amendments in 22 years by repealing a section criminalizing "carnal intercourse against the order of nature." Although liberalizing the laws for the… 		I only have one question. When government imposes laws regarding the bedroom activities of consentng adults, how do they go about enforcing them? Vice squad Peter Sellers types with binoculars?

{title}$1M Lamborghini Reventon - Only 20 Made
Lamborghini revealed its hottest new ride, the Reventon, at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Only 20 were built and have already been bought, so if you're hoping to snag one, you’re out of luck! "The virtual… 		WOW! I just keep buying those lottery tickets :)Although, I wouldn't play rap music in it, I'd have something more classy like Bach; plus, I console myself everytime I don't hit the lottery by thinking that you couldn't park it out in Wal-Mart's parking lot either. Can you just hear the page "Will the numb-skull who parked a Lamborghini in lane 5 please move your a*s."

{title}Ramadan Frappucino - Starbucks Caters To Muslims
Starbucks has specialized in culture-specific drinks in the past, like the red bean Frappucino in China, but now they've moved to the Muslim culture. To celebrate Ramadan this year, the coffee company… 		I always thought that if you were doing something like a coffee franchise, you should keep it simple. Like make basic coffee and have a sugar/syrup/topping bar where the customers could do their own thing (just like salad). A franchise should be simple: two or three basic products on the procedural list of things to do, like coffee and danish.
