Sensational Illuminated Clothing by Dr. Janet Hansen

Her doctorate is in bioengineering but her passion is fashion and she's combined the two in ways you've never before seen or even imagined.

She started Enlighted Designs in 1998 and it has become the trendsetter in combining fashion form with technological function.

Amazingly, her stuff isn't made for art shows and exhibits but, rather, for people like you and me who want something a little different.

Or a lot different.

Spend some time on her website and see if think you'd look cool in flame pants that literally look like they're burning up.

"That's hot."

Or perhaps a shirt or blouse with

illuminated buttons?

There's a Mardi Gras suit

for when you're down in the Big Easy after it recovers.

And you'll be the dancing queen in your illuminated halter (top), that's for sure — "great for dancing!"
