Hear Me Now ?
Sick of fumbling for your phone every time it rings ? Sgnl , whose creators raised nearly $ 1.5 million in 37 days on Kickstarter , is a very Bond-esque solution . Just attach this smart strap ($ 150 – $ 200 , mysgnl . com ) to any existing watch face and , thanks to Bluetooth , conduct conversations through your actual finger . ( The sound turns into vibrations that travel through your body .) But does it work ? A call made from my cell to company project manager Saemi Kim in South Korea was remarkably clear and interference-free . ( Worry not : I watched via Skype , and she was truly hearing through her finger .) Sgnl doesn ’ t launch here until April , which gives you plenty of time to decide which finger to use when your ex calls . — Justine Harman , senior editor
You Reviewed It !
For this month ’ s Glamour book club , 15 readers dug into The Animators , Kayla Rae Whitaker ’ s feisty , funny debut novel about two filmmakers who are alternately kindred spirits and mortal enemies . Our crowd of critics recaps : When they meet as art students , Sharon is “ a shy transplant by way of rural Kentucky ” and Mel “ a badass lesbian with a drug problem ,” but the pair is bound by their art and “ the trauma of childhood .” It feels like “ a mix of Beaches , Girls , and Thelma & Louise .” So , you know , a “ complicated ,” “ sensual , sexy ” raw nerve of a “ roller coaster ” through a “ tumultuous ” friendship . The novel ’ s best line ? “ You ’ re gonna let the world happen to you , and you ’ re gonna love it .” One reader summed it up this way : “ If you let this story happen to you , you ’ re gonna love it .” — Elisabeth Egan , books editor
