Virgo-Wear

Look, we all know how difficult it is to buy presents for Virgos. A Virgoan trying to gift another Virgoan is a study in anxiety and neurotic nit-pickery: Too itchy, too cheap, too costly, too synthetic, not sending out the right message, too naff, too trendy, not quite right so right after my hyperventilating flip out in the mall lavatory, we’ll go spend another four hours getting the Right Gift and no, a voucher is never acceptable.

So all hail the Detectair: ideal for a chic hypochondriac, trend-aware Virgo of either gender.

YES.  Read on and see if you agree -

“…the Detectair vest contains sensors that detect the ambient air quality and displays the data on the garment itself by illuminating a pattern of embedded LEDs across the chest

The LEDs visualize an individual’s quality of breathing based on the toxicity levels in the air. Small vibrators alert the wearer when they have entered into a dangerous and unhealthy environment.

…The collar itself  functions as a protective mechanism akin to a medical/dust mask. In an unhealthy atmosphere, the wearer can shield her face/mouth by pulling the collar around the neck and face.”

    Fashionable AND practical. Except I imagine someone who would bother with detecting the toxicity of air probably has fine in-built sensors and would freak out before a sensor had time to go off anyway.

    Actually a lot of Virgos I know have peculiar thick skin with closed pores. Sometimes they smell funny too. I find if they have some Aries upfront in their charts it improves them somewhat.

    Even though the Virgo giftee actually LOVE this gift, I’m sure Virgo would waste no time pointing out that, “Well, I’m quite capable of judging what environments are clean and toxic on my own and probably better than a machine can, but I suppose I should thank you for the thought…”

      Yes, it’s the thought that counts, I suppose. And I bet it has to be dry cleaned.

    Wow, not sure I’d wear this thing. It’s about keeping my cards close is all. Unsure whether I’d want someone I find toxic to know how/what I feel//think about their toxicity. The air? That’d be fine. But I wouldn’t wanna live somewhere I need a detector for it!
    Btw, a voucher I reckon is quite acceptable, and the context matters, too. There, my Virgo membership being rescinded for the nth time today. :lol: Yes, it depends on the recipient, but I’ve found when I have given one, the recipient was thrilled! Leo Venus ensures it’s not just some insulting amount, too, so works out well.

    Look, you don’t have to buy anything for us, really. If you want to make a Virgo happy, ecstatic even, just follow their advice for a change.

    And if I wanted an item of clothing that lit up and vibrated, it wouldn’t be a jacket.

    If this went one step further and actually purified the air somewhat, I’d wear it. As it currently is, seems a little paranoid… Do you run away, coughing?

    I´m a Virgo and I´d totally wear this. That´d teach my friend that aur freshener is toxic !

      I mean air. And besides, it would need to come in one of the colours of my highly selective style palette.

    I love shopping for virgos. None of the virgos i know have that wierd health freak thing? I have never quite got that. They are all bon vivants with nice taste. Basically I just find them something that suits their life-tastes or personal missions at the time (indian silk scarf…calendar with james bond movie posters…studded choker…) and bam, done, easy… i don’t know if a virgo would want someone else to buy them a life-management tool however (swiffer, latest graphics program upgrade, share market guide) because I am Positive they would have this completely researched and under control – it’s what they do… :)
