All I Want For Christmas Is A Cocktail Ring

dodai — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:00:00 EST

Portƒolio's fashion blog points us to Santa's Helper at Net-A-Porter. The virtual assistant is actually a customizable video of a foxy blonde Brit in a red dress, "assigned" to help women get what they want for Christmas via the men in their life. All users have to do is enter information via a series of drop-down windows, including the guy's pet name (choices include captain, cheeky monkey, darling, hot stuff, muffin, pumpkin, sugar and big boy), a self-description (are you stylish and curvaceous? Minxy and petite? Smart and leggy?), a description of him (witty, rich, handsome, thoughtful, macho), and, of course, the desired item(s). (World peace isn't on the menu, how about a cocktail ring instead?). Hit "send" and a link to the video flies is delivered to the dude's e-mail address, with the blonde speaking hand-picked lines.
