Leo's "Crap From The Sky Mall Catalog!" Pick Of The Week!

OMG! This week Leo has two really good gadgets from Sky Mall. Here's the description of the 1st one from the Sky Mall website!

The Cuisinart ICE-45PK Mix It In Soft Serve Ice Cream Maker, in Pink, gives you professional-quality soft ice cream, yogurt, sorbet and sherbet right at home.

And Leo’s take: It seems like a well-made machine, which one would expect since it’s from Cuisinart. Although Leo sort of faked making soft serve ice cream on this show, the machine looked good. Kids will love the fact that you add mix-ins right from the machine. It’s worth the price. (But you could do a a web search just to make sure $99.99 is the best price.

Leo’s 2^nd ‘Gadget’, The Star Trek Captain Dress. First the description from Sky Mall.

A rarely seen jewel of the Star Trek TOS series, ANOVOS is offering the TOS tri-cut pattern dress uniform in the Command Division Gold. This dress features the Lieutenant edition featuring a single braid on each sleeve along with a Command Division patch. Featuring the exact double-knit fabric from the original uniforms, and fabric dyed to match screen-used samples, this dress material is accurate to the original swatches used on set during filming. Patterns were based off of original cut patterns used from the set to ensure complete accuracy and look. A long hidden zipper finishes the piece, recreating one of the most iconic feminine designs of its time and even today. This is by far one of the beautiful pieces created in the ANOVOS collection. You deserve to own this one of a kind piece. $349.95. 

UPDATE: SKY MALL NOT LONGER CARRIES THIS DRESS.

Leo’s Take: The in-studio live (very, very live) model for the Star Trek Captain’s dress was Liz Romero (Lizzard77) of world-famous TWiT fame. Leo thought Liz looked ‘great!’ in the dress. I doubt if anyone would disagree with him. It’s quite form fitting and it’s seems, quite short. I think Liz was a bit uncomfortable about the length of the dress, so she wore a black leotard underneath. It was a bit hit, but Leo did mention that the dress is quite expensive at $349.99, plus shipping and handling. Be sure to see Liz wearing the dress in the video version at the link below.
