34 Innovations in Disguise

From Gaming PC Disguises to Disguised Pleasure Devices

— May 17, 2010 — Tech
Transformers may be the masters of disguise, but you can come in a damn close second place just by checking out all of these innovations in disguise. I've got my sights set on you Optimus.

Disguises aren't just limited to fake mustaches anymore. These innovations in disguise feature disguised pillows, cameras and even vibrators. Let this cluster be your guide to disguise.

Implications - The concept of disguise is highly attractive to consumers who are seeking escape from their hectic day-to-day lifestyle. The recent credit crunch has consumers feeling that extra work is a necessity, enhancing work schedules and thus, increasing the need for a bit of novelty and fun. That being said, most consumers are entranced with the thought of being someone other than themselves.
