Ah, the inexorable march of progress. Whichever new high technology finds its way out of a laboratory, will then make it to the defence industry, entertainment, manufacturing, sports or any other market -you name it- where it will thrive and change and show up in amazing new ways.
I have long felt that fashion is not an exception and that, with capsuleers having access to unique items an average Empire citizen may not, technologies that were born in space only a few years ago such as pod jacks, nanites, boosters and whatnot, eventually find their way into our wardrobes, garages, cellars and ultimately will too into everyday life.
This was originally posted (http://speedfairy.blogspot.com/2009/11/chameleon.html) in November 2009. It would seem that the possible arrival of new items (http://backstage.eve-inspiracy.com/index.php?topic=5989.msg99751) in the New Eden Store gives the issue new legs...

I picked up some new Caméléon tights yesterday while holiday shopping.
They have a store here in Clermont and we know each other well; my favourites are the black nanite Artémis. From a long pullover to a Devereaux gown, they can make any outfit kill rather than simply stun.
I love how nanite tights keep all the style of fabric and then bring it up to an entirely new level. Set the control to start at sheer, fishnets, lacy or opaque -whatever you feel like, actually- and then let the pattern slowly change, so subtly that you will not notice at first but your legs never look exactly the same at second glance. Depending on the model, the playlist will fix, cycle, improvise or follow your mood during the evening, always hinting but naturally, never telling.
And turning heads is not all of it. Every step, every bit a star as you look outside, that is how you feel inside. Luxurious, daring, ready to walk on any edge. So very tired after an day on your feet? A nasty tear? Evening dancing? Don't worry, it will be alright -besides making stay-ups actually, you know, stay up, nanites know a couple of other tricks to make a girl feel like a billion or two.
Caméléons carry a stupid expensive pricetag for tights you use only once. But are absolutely worth it.
And stray hands, beware. Chameleons do bite.

Answering chat questions from readers...
Updated:
- Nanite tights: Made out of nanites, not fabric. They can change appearance and texture, but not colour.
- Caméléon: Gallentean luxury hosiery brand. They invented nanite tights and hold copyrights on pattern playlists.
- Caméléon black nanite Artémis: A model in the collection, my favourite...
- Stay-ups: sometimes do not. Unless with nanites, then they do stay. They'll even crawl up, which is creepy.
Updated, again:
- Of course they are not going to burn the boyfriend as they follow one's mood. He would feel something like a soft touch of fingertips. He will probably be surprised.
- Come to think of it, if you are mad at the BF, ouch. You had it coming, sweetie.
- I am not sure how much nanites would like the wash.
