Play Misty for Me

Having been raised in a warm and humid tropical climate, I never look forward to dry winters like this one. Skin, hair, eyes, and even nasal passages become irritated — sometimes painfully so — the only way to bear it all is with a humidifier. This model from Venta can output 3.5 gallons per day and boasts a whisper quiet motor. A special demineralization cartridge prohibits the growth of microorganisms, and the best part is that you only have to change it once a year. ($160)

Remote Viewing

You may not have telepathy or clairvoyance, but people will think so when the channels inexplicably change every time you're around. That is, if you've got a ninja remote — small enough to attach to your key chain and powerful enough to work on most popular television brands. Wouldn't it be deliciously evil to change the channel during a crucial play in the big game without anyone knowing it was you? Or be the last word in fights over the remote control? Almost too much fun to fathom! ($9)

Go, Speed Racer! Go!

What makes a car a classic? This is a most excellent question because there is no one answer. Some say that it must have been manufactured in a certain era, other cite those built in limited quantities or those which are no longer produced. The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia fits all of those categories. Only 365,912 coupes and 79,326 convertibles were produced between 1955 and 1974, making this a fairly rare automobile. Based upon an Italian design, it was considered to be Volkswagens "glamour car" in comparison to the utilitarian VW Beetle and Bus. Automotive haute couture if you will. Once upon a time I owned a 1974 orange hardtop, and I do believe I will own another once again... they're quite addictive and handle like a Porche Boxter. The ultimate accessory for the Brooklyn Glamour Girl. ($8,600)

Not From Concentrate

Fight off the cold and flu with fresh pressed juice from your very own commercial-quality juice extractor. Instead of paying $7 for 8oz. of carrot/apple/ginger from a bodega with questionable cleanliness practices, produce your own with fresh fruits and vegetable from the local green market. An extra-wide feed tube and professional grade motor are the essential features; allowing you to juice those super-huge carrots in record time without having to chop first. Ditch your vitamins and replace with a daily dose of liquidy goodness. Yummers! ($300)

Lock You Long Time

Live out your fantasies of becoming a secret agent girl with this Swarovski studded USB memory key cleverly disguised as a lock. Small, lightweight, removable and rewritable, use it to transport and store up to 1 GB of top secret files, photos and songs. Flashy yet innocuous, lock up all of your valuable data and wear it on a long silver chain. ($178)

The Hunt for Red DigiCam

Remember when product placement in movies gained popularity amongst advertisers? "Back to the Future" was an originator, "Austin Powers" got cheeky with it, and now it's moved onto music videos. Notably the Ciara video, "Can't Leave 'Em Alone," featuring the newest slim line gadget, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 8MP Digital Camera. Less than an inch thick and only 5 ounces, the protective face cover slides down to reveal the 5x optical zoom lens with 8.1-megapixel resolution, and check the ginormous 3.0-inch LCD screen on the rear. Celebu-cred at it's best! ($400)

Who Ya Gonna Call?

Forget the iPhone, check out the lightweight Samsung SGH-T509. The Kate Moss of cell phones, she weighs in at 2.72 oz and measures less than a half an inch thick. Released a year ago, in competition with the now fat-in-comparison Razr; her sleek and futuristic design retains that newness factor. Standout features are video recording, speakerphone, and vivid display. ($200)
