  • Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4He is obviously an Asian, so Western Europe is far East.
  • adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I believe that I once saw Björk wearing that.
  • Broccoli, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5And all men will be saved as long as their girlfriend has one of these on!
  • imikedaman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Most of the time the thing will show anger or frustration when they can't get their shirts to accurately predict their real emotions.

  • markp93, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3cool.. the goth kids can -still- wear all black...
  • Bullsnot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And all men will be busted when they wear one of these out with their girl and it changes color every time a hot chick walks by.
  • JAKN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Hot Topic's clothes ARE mood-clothes - but on the people that shop there, they are always black.
  • aks123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"Heart On Your Sleeve". Ah, what a clever name for this article. Writers just keep getting cleverer and cleverer!
  • positron, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Imagine the psychological damage this could do to all the poor little Emo kids when they realize the lights on their clothes aren't turning black.
  • punkrockxtian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Reminded me of the song but I sure as hell don't have the urge to sing it.
  • DarkXanthos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2They've been adding Visi-wang technology to all men's pants as long as I can remember... seems pretty similar. But I guess that only tells everyone how "excited" you are to meet them...
  • Maniaca, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hypercolor! I had one of their tshirts when I was like...11

  • martinseo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0The http://www.merchandizeliquidators.com/Wholesale-Apparel.htm was the company related to the production of the clothing in bulks
  • vsujohn2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Can the LEDs form a nice big middle finger?
    That would be on my shirt from day one
  • EarthBoundX5, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1lol, emo clothes
  • Shinta, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This sounded emo from the start, but maybe this could be used for something useful. I don't know what though...
  • midgetonbicycle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1And when they start crying they will get electrocuted and then their clothes will go black.
  • walkerman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1This is the most stupid ideas I have ever seen.
    Who on earth would want to broadcast their emotions to the outside world by wearing one of those 'illuminations?'
    In short, this is a waste of time and money!
  • septicmadman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Old story the clothing is called lumalive

    Had to be said.
  • LiquidPenguin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Holy crap, I was just going to mention that. I'm surprised anyone actually remembers those shirts. Mine was a spin-off (or was it licensed?) by Gecko. Too bad it only lasted a month before my mother threw it in the dryer.
