Bluetooth headsets suck, mostly due to the fact that they’re butt ugly and turn users into talking-to-themselves crazy people. But this latest design takes care of the first issue—so long as you’re a lady (says designer Fandi Meng).

As you can see, the headset is more earring than funky robotic ear leech, and it actually looks kind of nice in a futuristic fashionista kind of way.

Like a traditional headset, you tap the sensor to answer an incoming call, and talk into the air like a idiot as normal. But you look good, especially if you happen to be a model. [Fandi Meng via Design Blog]

At the intersection of social sophistication and unbridled jubilance you will find Class INC: The Evolution of the Atlanta Classic Event. Class INC is the party for those alumni who can remember the fun and good times of college days but have clearly matriculated into the adult world. For a few hours a success-oriented, alumnus may kick off their shoes and enjoy the utter merriment that is achieved when one is surrounded by those people that know where they’re from, who they are and where they are going. This event is catered towards the FAMU-TSU graduate who is looking for a good time without all of the posturing and pretentiousness that mires so many nightlife venues and the younger, less-cultured, clientele that frequents them. There are few age requirements, but the aesthetic and veneer of the event exude one concept….Class. The name Class INC in and of itself speaks to the concept of the event. A marriage of success and professionalism amidst the backdrop of jollification and merriment. The main room is called the Corporate Getaway, the second, more relaxed room is called the Start-Up Lounge and the third room is called the Executive Suite. Using wording like this, pulled from the popular lexicon of successful people, brands the event to those individuals who have a true knowledge of the professional world and have a concept of professionalism in their daily decorum.
