So this weekend Ferrari F1 driver Kimi Räikkönen opened The Ferrari Store on Regent Street, London. I have a number of problems with this, many of them aptly illustrated by some choice shots of the interior and the products therein. See this tat after the jump.
Due to the current economic climate, just as with regular property, private islands are falling victim to foreclosure. Fancy snapping up some super-private real estate off the Great Barrier Reef? Find out more after the jump.
Picking only 5 of what must be thousands of gaffes by Italy’s legendary Prime Minister is possibly the most difficult decisions I’ve had to make since deciding what to eat for breakfast*. Combining sackloads of corruption allegations, conflicts-of-interest, mafia links (*allegedly, lawyers) with what amounts to comedy genius, here’s a tip-of-the-iceberg rundown of our favorite Silvio Berlusconi moments. See our picks after the jump.
I always wince when I hear “OMG tihs is teh most expensive car evar!” next to whatever happens to be a record purchase at the time, as it’s only a matter of weeks before the next one comes along and trumps it. But screw it. OMG tihs is teh most expensive car evar! It’s the legendary 1957 Ferrari 250 TR. Find out more after the jump.
On first glance, I thought this Paul Smith cricket ball looked pretty wanky. But on closer inspection, it does really look pretty cool. And I’m assured it’s a fully functional cricket ball. And you’d just have to play proper cricket with it too, dressed in black tie, with a bat made of ivory and Nazi gold. Find out more after the jump.
Title says it all really. Pop your email in (the box is on the right, should be fairly obvious where) for the Friday Mailout with all-new content. Sign up, or I’ll cry salty tears of resentment and unfulfilled potential.
So, the new Chanel No.5 ad is here, and it’s called Train de nuit. Being a French speaker, I can roughly translate this as “meaningless overacting”. It stars Audrey Tatou from the excellent Amelie, and is directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet, also of Amelie fame. The previous, Nicole Kidman Chanel ad sticks in mind as possibly one of the most offensive adverts to my eyes and ears, and I imagine the vision of Nicole’s Styrofoam face whining “I love to dance!” repeating in my head as I embark upon a murderous spree. The less awful version is after the jump.
I genuinely think this is awesome. It’s not often that I can call a jumped up tea pot awesome. The Sorapot displays your tea in all its glory, surrounded by some pretty sexy stainless steel. More after the jump.
Two recent high-profile phone “designer” editions. One for the iPhone, the other a Blackberry Bold. I know, these have been around for a couple of days now, so sue me. I’m super busy. Like at least one day a week. So yea, here they are, to be honest there’s no contest, but its worth slaughtering one of them anyway.
See them after the jump.
Surely there’s some tear in the fabric of space time. Henessy used to have some fucking brand equity. Since becoming the favorite of the Rap elite, Hennesy feel it’s a smart move to launch their new product, Hennesy Black (insert racially sensitive joke here) with an original song by rapper/producer Swizz Beatz. Find out more and listen after the jump.
