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
