In the spirit of tradition, we wanted to hear your resolutions for 2011. But in the spirit of revelry, we thought it would be more fun - and just as futile - if you made resolutions for other people, strangers and celebrities alike. Here are some from your wish list. I've been considering getting myself a pair of Vibram Five-Fingers, but I've worried about sticking out like, well, a sore toe. But I should have known that the toe-conforming sport footwear were but the advance guard of a new trend—call it "enhanced nudity" or maybe "nudity 2.0?—and would soon seem old-fashioned.

The product to define the new cutting edge of enhanced nudity hasn't arrived yet, but it's visible in Footstickers, which Dutch designer Frieke Sievers created as a graduation project for a MBT-sponsored product design program. Sievers envisions her fictional footwear in three styles for yoga, dance, and—my favorite—"combat cardio" (shown above). The latter suggests a whole line of consumer-grade adhesive prostheses with which to pad and weaponize our bodies for martial arts and other sports, taking the place of the sagittal crests, browridges, ischial callosities, and other carnage-inducing protuberances denied us by evolution—ideally in a subtle range of flesh-toned camouflage patterns. Triathlons - swimming followed by cycling followed by running - have been popular for years, especially for the West Coast crowd in the US.

But now, according to spokesman Rob Beal of David Lloyd Health and Fitness clubs in the UK, more Britons are training for their first tri than ever before. For the hardcore endurance athlete, the most grueling races include the Hawaii Ironman World Championship, France's Nice Triathlon, London's Enduroman Arch to Arc, and San Francisco's Escape from Alcatraz. But if you're interested in something better designed for the newbie, check the official website of the International Triathlon Union for races and training advice.
