    L33T Jewelry for Gamer Girls!

    I enjoy the Wii very much. It really is the future of gaming. My brother bought me the Nintendo DS for my birthday. I'd like to think that I am at least staying relatively current on new games and gaming consoles. I would never call myself a gamer - true gamers may try to hurt me with flying turtle shells - but I grew up with SEGA and Nintendo. I have a younger brother and a family on a budget so we had to share many toys. This led to a childhood bereft of Barbies and My Little Ponies and one full of uni-sex toys like Legos, boardgames, and eventually, video games. Wario and Waluigi, for as long as they've been around, are still considered "new" members of the Mario family in my mind! Now that I'm all grown-up, I can't spend my days worrying about coins and mushrooms and evil nemeses. But, there is still that child inside that likes to make an appearance every so often. The best way for a little girl all grown up to show her gaming side? Jewelry, of course! Obviously, I'm not the only one with nostalgic childhood memories of Mario, Kirby and magic mushrooms! Check out the slide-show for a great variety of awesome, wearable gaming jewelry and accessories and let your inner child out!

    Hot In The Hive: The Nintendo DSi

    I don't know about you, but as a closet video game geek (okay, maybe not so "closet"), I was super excited about the long-awaited release of Nintendo's newest portable entertainment system, the Nintendo DSi. As the third generation product of the company's sleek DS line, the DSi doesn't look too much different than its predecessor, the DS Lite, at first glance. However, with the incorporation of two built-in cameras (yes, two!), a music player and sound recorder, and Wi-Fi capabilities for its very own "app" store, this updated gadget is indeed new and improved in the fun department despite its similar physicality to its older relatives. The two cameras (one internal for self-portraits and another external for maximum lurking potential) allow you to capture and manipulate snapshots, similar to Apple's addictive PhotoBooth, as well as keep photo journals with the device's calendar feature. With the SD memory card slot you can upload and listen to your own music and even distort sound with a swipe of the stylus, and with the DSiWare software, you can access the DSi's online store and purchase games and apps for increased time-killing competence. Since I've only had my DS Lite for a year or two and buying a brand-new console isn't exactly in my meager budget, I'll just have to encourage fellow gaming gals to make the purchase so I can get my hands on it for a couple hours and test it on my own!


    Price: $169.99

    Get Your Geek On With Arcade-Inspired Accessories!

    I'll be the first to admit that I didn't grow up with a video game console (I envied all my friends with a Game Boy). I can also admit that I have less than stellar hand-eye coordination so when it comes to actually playing video games, I see the "game over" signal quicker than anyone else. Nonetheless, I can still appreciate a good game and matching accessories! Since the 80s trend is going on with full force, I've found some great 80s video game items in the Hive. Check out these Space Invaders cufflinks or these video game inspired scarves that will keep you cozy. It doesn't matter if you don't have the top score or have multiple calluses from the joystick controller, there's enough video game fun for everyone! Check out my SLIDESHOW for some video game inspired accessories that will have you in the winner's circle.
