Forget Metrosexual

If Calvin Klein‘s “live billboard” in Times Square wasn’t enough to turn you off from the designer, perhaps the pool party hosting designer’s latest stunt will: He’s attempting to turn “technosexual” into a word.

technosexual (tek.noh.SEK.shoo.ul) n. A person with a strong aesthetic sense for fashion and a love of technology. —technosexuality n.

Klein already has the domain name ready to go and, as media blog Muckraked points out, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office has already received his trademark application:

Listen, Calvin: We’ve already got the iPod boxers from Play and the iPod jacket from Burton. Do we really need pockets sewn into suits specifically for our Motorola Q and face wash that smells like a Sidekick 3?
