Golla’s new Spring collection brings fresh colors and many new styles of bags for the latest gadgets.
New Slim Laptop Bags and Sleeves Protect Your Laptop and Tablet
The newest novelties in Golla’s Collection for 2011 are a new vertical Slim Laptop Bag with top handles and a shoulder strap. This new Slim Laptop Bag protects your laptop or netbook from 11.6” up to 16”. (G1178 Slim Cover ELO 10.1″ 32.99 USD) The Golla Laptop Sleeves in a horizontal design are made for your tablet, netbook or laptop from 10.2” up to 17.3”. Golla’s bags and sleeves are slim and lightweight so you can take them with you wherever you go. (G1162 Slim Sleeve DIP 10.2″ 29.99 USD)
Golla Camera Bags Come in New Sizes and Fresh Designs
Golla extends its range of bags for cameras by adding a new extra small size for compact digital cameras. The Camera Bag S is a perfect fit for mirrorless compact cameras with some accessories. Semi-professional SLR and DSLR cameras are well protected in the Camera Bags M and L. Golla also offers colorful camera straps in four designs. For the smaller compact digital cameras, Golla’s range presents three sizes of Digi Bags. ($14.90–16.90 USD)
Perfect Style and Security for Your Phone
Golla’s collection has a wide selection of bags that fit all kind of mobile phones and smartphones. This year, Golla also features a special range of products dedicated to the iPhone. Choose from simple Mobile Bags, slim Phone Pockets, practical Phone Wallets, protective Hard Covers, and multifunctional Smart Bags. ( Phone Pocket IDA XL 14.90 USD)
Chief Blonde Remarks: Still Blonde after all these YEARS was lucky enough to see these bags debuted at the 2011 International CES in Las Vegas. Hands down this was my favorite booth for design, so it was no surprise that the bags also are a brilliant design–so very Euro, without all the fussiness that we tend to include in our bag Design in the US. Simple, clean, and ubercool, the bright colors appeal to any generation, we Women over 45 like the crisp neons as much as anyone. (See the Bright Pink Golla Slim Sleeve featured in this Outfit Post). I particularly like the padding and Gen Mob Motif used inside the Slim cover, this would make any Apple Ipad lover shudder in delight! Surprisingly, my favorite bag that I sampled was the Phone Pocket. This adorable little pocket protects your phone without all the bulk so many phone covers have and yet it can be used for ID and a bit of cash as well. If you want Mobile Bags, with a clean bright design that will protect and enhance your electronics, Golla deserves to be your BAG! Highly recommend. Perfect for Dads and Grads!
Golla Collection 2011 is available in stores worldwide starting from April. Golla is the original brand to specialize in fashionable bags for gadgets. Golla bags are known for their wide array of colors, funky prints and incredible quality. See the whole collection at www.golla.com. Purchase Golla at Amazon.com and other major retailers.
During the 2011 CES, in Las Vegas in January, 2011, one of the best events that Still Blonde after all these YEARS went to was the CES Fashionware Fashion Show which featured a showcase of wearable technologies including solar powered backpacks, sophisticated mobile phones and netbooks, and fashion powered by light or movement, climate changing gear, and more. Women over 45 were not featured in the show which was a disappointment , the focus of the show was Tech Fashions for Moms.
Various types of “Moms” were featured during the fashion, such as Blogger Mom, Day Mom, and Green Mom. I am already campaigning for next year, for Women Over 45 to be featured such as “Senior Mom” or “Still Blonde” Mom–What do you think? Here’s a few shots of the model Moms on the runway!
(Above) Green Ware Mom with her Voltaic Converter Solar Backpack, Piezing Jacket for collecting kinetic energy and Lenovo IdeaPad.
Blogger Ware Mom with her Looxie easy to wear video camera, Kamerflage Thunder Cloud and Lightening Bolt Dress and A Fibanacci Scarf. I’d like to say for the record that this is exactly what I wear when I blog each day…
I have to say that Partyware Mom was my favorite in a Snapfish Charm Bracelet and Miura Scarf.
Evening Ware Mom was just plain ridiculous in a self inflating dress which made the model look like she had a big bulbous butt instead of the insect wings that the dress was supposed to inspire. Just silly!
The CES Fashionware show took place at Las Vegas Fashionshow Mall. The runway pops right out of the ground. One minute it’s just part of the mall as you can see in the shot below, the next minute it raises up and there is a runway, podium and stage.
Here’s a shot of the Chief Blonde enjoying the 2011 CES Fashionware show!
Finally, you really should know that in addition to the fashion, wine and high tech–the food was excellent! Shh! Don’t tell everyone or all the bloggers will be here next year! Of course, if I am modeling then you won’t want to MISS it!

The Chief Blonde Remarks: I have been using the slotBar from URBAN TOOL from the minute they handed it to me in their Booth at the 2011 CES. GAHHHH!! I love this bag! My ereader (Nook Color) slipped right into the large back pocket. My cell phone and the charger fit in two of the front pockets. I love the retractable (yo-yo) key ring…we blonde lose a lot of things..so this little device helps to keep us organized. Plus, don’t they just look so uber-cool? Even a Woman over 45 gets an updated look when you wear this URBAN TOOL slotBar! Highly recommend!

Blog Note: The Chief Blonde received a sample to review. She did not receive any compensation for this post.
Hannspree, a leading manufacturer of creatively designed televisions and other consumer electronics, debuted a new line of 2011 products and also offered a sneak peak at yet to be released items—including a new tablet PC called HannsPad, operating on the ANDROID platform—during the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 6-9 in Las Vegas. Handspree also premiered their products at the exclusive Press event at Pat Meier’s Lunch at Piero where Still Blonde after all these YEARS, a blog for Women over 45, was in attendance.
Chief Blonde Remarks: With over 4.5 million TVs to be sold, just prior to the Super Bowl, we think Hannspree has somthing quite fun and special to offer. We encountered Taiwanese TV manufacturer Hannspree when we attend Lunch at Peiro’s 2011. Items in their line-up which we found particularly unique were their line-up of novelty TVs. Apparently novelty is one of Hannspree’s claims to fame in the electronics world. Now their novelty TVs have been super-sized up to 55″ HDTV in a great sports theme of football, basketball, soccer and for the foodie/Apple lover a large screen apple frame!
In the past, Hannspree has featured novelty TVs, however until now, their basketball, animal, and other themed TVs have been smaller sized TVs in the 19″ to 28″ range. The larger 55″ TVs each feature full HD technology, 4 HDMI ports, LCD screen and a 1080p resolution. The price for this high end monster? Well, maybe you need to be on a football player’s salary to afford it at…gulp..a projected $9000. However, I can see wealthy sports fanatics outfitting their sports bars and man caves with these novelty beauties. What upscale public sports bar wouldn’t want a few of these hanging on the wall as well? No doubt about it, a real attention getter!
Want one in time for the Super Bowl? Pre-order for next year, you won’t find these custom order lovelies in the store!
50,000+ sq. ft. of Exhibit Space Sells Out in Two Hours
The Chief Blonde at the 2011 CES
Chief Blonde Remarks: When the Chief Blonde and her Technical Editor hit the CES floor on opening day, the first area they hit is the iLounge Pavilion. While the area does feature many Apple related products (as you may know, Apple does not attend the International CES but has it own event, MacWorld 2011), it also highlights many gadgets that work across all the whole tablet/smart phone/mp3 platforms. I love this part of the show! For 50,000+ sq feet of space to sell out in 2 hours…you have to know this is HOT part of the show.
