Geek chic just chic with PDA Lip Gloss

One for the lady all the ladies out there in our audience: is it true that pretending to be busy and techie enough to carry a PDA (a Palm V, in this case) is cooler than actually owning such a device? If so, then apparently the Fira PDA Lip Gloss makeup/cosmetics compact is the best of both worlds. Hey, can't say we blame you—back in the day we never used our Palms either (until they put 'em in our cellphones, anyway), so may as well use that valuable purse-real estate on something practical, right?

We sell these things at my store in Maryland (Five Below)... I don't know what the appeal to girls would be.

Kinda sexist there, friends....
Not *all* "the ladies" out here wear (or give a rat's a$$ about) make up...and...there my be a few readers other than the "the ladies" out here that just might be jonesing for one of these :>

Are you kidding? There's no way I'm going to take my ipod, headphones, camera, pda, cell phone or flash memory out of my purse to make room for something that only looks like a gadget. Now if someone put out a line of makeup with colors specified in hexadecimal codes instead of names like "dusky rose" I might sucker for that.

This story is the equivalent of thinking a man would be interested in a matchbox corvette to boost his ego. This item is for young girls, boys.
