Become a Star(fish) With This Marine-Life Mobile

by Amar Toor on December 24, 2009 at 07:10 AM


If you're still looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the little lady, still scouring the earth for that one item that lets her know she's the only, uh, urchin latched to your coral reef, look no further than this little gem of a cell phone, straight out of Asia (of course).

The "Star Shape Lady's Cell Phone With Diamond" is, as the title may imply, a faux-diamond-encrusted, starfish-shaped cell phone, equipped with a mermaid-friendly 1.8-inch touchscreen, 2 gigabytes of memory, a camera, and Bluetooth capability -- and it's the perfect fit for any star-shaped purse! The fish phones come in a variety of naturally occurring starfish colors, like green, pink, gold, or blue, and even light up for easy identification at the ocean's darkest depths. (The phone may or may not be waterproof.) The reason behind choosing a starfish design is beyond us. The reason behind marketing said starfish design exclusively to women, moreover, is totally beyond us. We just hope that the phone's limbs will naturally regenerate in the event they break off. That's really the least we expect in a cellular starfish. [From: ShopKami, via: textually]
