Check out this article on the new “experience agents.” They’ll fix you up with once in a lifetime experiences for a hefty fee. Some of my favorites include the Playboy Mansion Party for $3,900 per person (how’s that for a birthday gift) and the Fighter Pilot for a day ($1,195 per person). Anyway you look [...]

Rent Louis Vuitton and Gucci Handbags
September 21st, 2007 · 1 Comment
I have to say that Bag Borrow or Steal is one of the better ideas I’ve seen in a while. The company rents out designer handbags for a monthly fee, $20/month for access to the “Trendsetter” line (think Dooney & Burke) all the way up to $175/month for the “Couture” line (think Gucci and Rosiblu). [...]
The Best Cell Phones
September 19th, 2007 · 2 Comments
You think this piece would start with the iPhone, but lets face it. It’s overdone. Everyone’s talking about it and yes it’s cool, but there’s still phones out there that are even crazier. Check these phones out (but be warned the price tags rival some peoples cars and even houses). The LG KE850 Prada cell [...]

Lamborghini Reventon
September 14th, 2007 · 3 Comments
Only 20 of the Lamborghini Reventon will be made and they’ll set back the lucky buyers $1.4 million a piece. It has more carbon fiber than any other Lambo, in fact if it came with a cup holder I bet that would be made out of carbon fiber. Boasting 650 hp and a jet like [...]

Set to be unveiled in 2009, the newest Ferrari Dino is a powerhouse. Boasting a front mounted V8, it will produce about 480bhp. Production is set at 3,500-5,000 per year and will cost you between £82,000 and £90,000. We’re still not sure if it will show up as a coupe-cabriolet with a folding hard top, [...]

Take your vacation to the seas on this 74′ yacht — the Sunreef 74 Luxury Catamaran. Available for charter in both the Mediterranean and Caribbean, this makes for a comfortable and well-appointed ride for up to 6 passengers. It has always been a dream of mine to spend a few weeks aboard an sea-faring vessel and this looks like [...]
Drive 10 Supercars for $4,000/year
August 13th, 2007 · No Comments
I think fractional ownership is a great way to get a little bit of luxury in your life for a lot less. CLUBGT is a great way to get into 10 supercars, for less than the price of an average sedan. You buy points, just as you would in a timeshare, and these allow you to [...]

Now if you’re like me a bath is not something done to get clean. It’s something that refreshes the soul. On my top 10 favorite things to do, sitting in the tub with a good book would be near the top. Now I’ve graduated from a normal tub to a soaker, but I started looking [...]
