The Dress That Turns into a Coca Cola Machine
This specially designed dress looks like a normal dress，but if you unfold it and cover yourself，
you may look like a Coca Cola vending machine（自动售货机）. Because there are many vending machines like that on the street，it must be easy for you to hide．If you feel that someone is following you or there is some danger，you can disappear within five seconds．But don’t use it to scare your classmates．That’ll be rude.
The M-Dress is a nice black dress．It is also a mobile phone．It accepts a standard SIM card and allows the wearer to receive calls without carrying an actual(真实的) phone in their pocket or purse．You just need to bring your hand to your ear when you want to answer a phone call．When you finish talking and release your hand，the call will close．It is fashionable and useful．But it will certainly be an embarrassing moment when your dress rings in public．

Once I went shopping on my first visit to Macao. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I enjoyed the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a skirt. Not having much to enjoy the sun in England, my legs were very white. In England this is not a fashionable look at all . Most women spend every sunny day out trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin, the better the look. I have tried to get darker but works for me!
As I one shop, the two shop assistants kept looking at my legs the whole time , talk
ing quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained about the shop assistants being very impolite . They be talking about my white skin. My friend laughed. “They weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. , there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them.”
It just shows that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is greener on the other side. If the women of the West and East the same way, Western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
