It's a common dilemma: You want to get up and do something, but you can't tear yourself away from your computer. The solution? Keyboard jeans. "Beauty and the Geek" jeans look like normal jeans, except they come with a keyboard, speakers, a mouse and a USB device (to maintain a wireless connection), WebProNews reports.
The goal? To "combine fashion with 'geeky' technology," co-creator Erik de Nijs told WebProNews. And to offer you a little more flexibility. "The idea was that you could log in to your computer and control it without sitting in a closed environment behind your desk," he added.
De Nijs says the jeans are comfortable, too. "They’re not that heavy," he said. "With the flexible keyboard, small speakers and small mouse, they are only a little bit heavier than your regular jeans."
But such convenience comes at a price. The jeans will sell for about $400 a pair, if they ever make it to a store near you. "The whole project is too complex and we don’t have enough money right now to to get it ready for the market," De Nijs told WebProNews. But you have to admit it's a cool concept. Would you wear keyboard jeans? Or do you prefer to leave your computer at your desk?
