Swarovski-Studded MPlayers by iRiver
Published by Mariella Moon January 12th, 2008 in Gadgets, Portable Audio.Did you like the idea of listening music using Mickey’s head? It was pretty much clear the MPlayer’s audience would be children. But fashionistas who also love Mickey could rejoice for the new Swarovski-encrusted MPlayers are here.
As you can see on the pic below, there are different designs for different colors to suite everyone’s taste. These 1GB portable media players were especially made for Valentine’s and White Day 2008. If you don’t know what White Day is, let me explain. In Japan, the tradition during Valentine’s (Feb. 14) is for the girls to give chocolates to the boy they like. The boys, then, reciprocate by giving the girls gifts a month later on March 14 — that’s what White Day is. I would understand the female persuasion wanting to have one, but for the boys to receive something like this? Well, I guess it all boils down to preference.
These Swarovski-encrusted MPlayers cost USD$150 a pop and are made only in sets of 500 pieces per design. They’re available only in Japan. Too bad, guys. Maybe next year.
