Rolls Royce.


The thing that BMW, never quite understood about said car, is that it was not made to drive on the autobahn. Rather for cultivated small towns (Mapp and Lucia). This Silver Cloud I 1957 Drophead Coupéis is for sale. Only 296,852 Euros. I’m sure that Mrs Beckham has one of those Hermes bag’s that matches this baby. OK someone offer her a sandwich, and grab the bag…………….

Lomo Kompakt




This camera was discovered by two students in Vienna, Austria,  The Lomo Kompakt Automat, was at the time produced in Russia. After a bit of experimentation they developed a certain style that acquired for them fans, all over the world. Thus prompting them to make a deal with the manufacturer’s of the camera in St. Petersburg. That was in the nineties. Well it would seem that they or too many people got a bit too excited that they decided to make this latest edition dipped in gold. Anyway this edition is of course limited, only 130 pieces have been made, for the  price of 600 Dollars. If I were wearing a a suit made of the Burberry pattern, with the matching shirt and tie,  in addition to which a hat with said pattern. Sitting in the Hall of mirrors at  the Palace of Versailles, drinking tea, taking pictures of my shoes. Would it be a bit much?

Microsoft’s Courier.






The Courier seems to be a bit a smaller than anticipated. these new picture really puts it into perspective It would seem that more work has been done to ensure mobility. rather than only  Windows 7,  it the runs on the same OS as the Zune HD, Pink, and Windows Mobile 7 Series.

The stakes are high, as this year seems to be the explosion of Tablets. I would offer that this would seem to be the gadget of choice. Why? Because you can protect it, it closes on it’s self, less chances of pulling your tablet out of your designer handbag, and it having  a cracked screen. Which in turn means cracked face.

Kaye-Ree.

Kaye-Ree, Persian/German singer-songwriter from Frankfurt. (It not just about banks). I heard her sing a few years ago and I immediately booked her to sing at the S. Bar. It was clear to me then that this woman possessed the talent to go where ever she wanted.Her songs require you to listen, being in a hurry is not part of the deal.

Crown.


So the winner of the Miss Russia was he first to wear this crown. Her name being Miss Irina Antonenko. I just wish one of these women would say what they really wanted to say.


Beauty winner: ” I would like to see world peace, and become a Veterinarian”.


Translation:  “I just want to know the difference between a sliver fox and a rabbit, so I can slap those bitches when they try selling me some cheap crap”.



(Through clenched teeth and a smile) “hey bitches, that’s right stay there, don’t let me have to take my pump’s off”.



The crown cost’s a cool 1,000,000 Dollars.

Mark Evans. Wonderful work, makes one wish for those days of artisans who would be able to craft such exquisite handmade works. He is commissioned all over the world, however latley he is in Russia a lot. (world recession, what’s that?). That above by the way is wall paper. Carved out of leather.

Gatorade G2: Float


“Float like a butterfly. Sting like a bee.”


The new campaign from Gatorade G2. I think I like it for the Matrixy kindof  shots. As none of the sports hold any interest for me, except the gymnastics.
