What do Roto-Rooter, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, and the ultimate high-tech bathroom for women have in common? We have no idea, but they all came together at an event in New York City for the launch of Roto-Rooter's Pimped Out Powder Room Sweepstakes, which is a follow-up to last year's Pimped Out John Sweepstakes.

Around 300,000 people signed up for a chance to win the ultimate john and you gotta think just as many will be interested for a shot at the powder room. Roto-Rooter calls this the "ultimate bathroom destination for the modern woman," but I can't see too many dudes complaining about hitting this head.

So brown isn't your idea of black, you say? Pink either? Colorware feels your pigmentary pain and has come to the rescue.

Colorware, famous for tarting up everything from laptops and desktops to iPods and game consoles, is applying its considerable palette to the Zune with a rainbow of 28 color combinations in metallic or flat finishes. You can even make the wheel and buttons different colors for that Playskool look.

This holiday season, give the gift that truly shows you care: a pimp watch. Those inspired timepiece artisans of Japan's Pimp-Watches.com have come up with a new addition to their popular LED line, this one dubbed "Pimpin Ain't Easy IP Gold." Though not as small as other LED watches, this 18k-plated limited edition features 72 lights that automatically spiral ever 2 minutes between 6 p.m. and 1 a.m. (must be a pimp thing) at a decidedly un-pimp-like price under $200. As Tokyoflash says, pimpin' was never so easy! (Cadillacs not included.)
