Hello Kitty Cam Gets Some Glam

hello-kitty-camHello Kitty is almost as popular as the gracefully aging Barbie Doll, so it stands to reason that for her thirty fifth birthday bash, CASIO is going all out — and then some!

Just think about it. Hello Kitty is popular all over the world, even more so than her Sanrio inspired friends. The merchandising for the precious little Kitty is almost mind boggling, it is so far reaching.

So, like say, CASIO decided to jump on the bandwagon to help Kitty celebrate her birthday. What you see here is the CASIO EX-Z2 Hello Kitty camera.

Naturally, the camera is pink — but it is also decorated with stunning Swarovski crystals. Some features include 3x optical zoom, 12.1 MP, and a matching carrying case for the camera.

You can start pre ordering this camera now — if, of course, you are willing to put down the five hundred dollars the limited edition camera costs.

Are $32K Computers the Wave of the Future?

gaiser_02_12No, this is not a tastefully and expensively decorated knick knack box. Quite the contrary, it is one of the new Gaiser High End PCs — what the company presumably hopes will be the next wave of luxury computers.

The luxurious machines work just like the considerably less expensive computers most of us currently have. The difference is, of course, that our computers are not covered in some serious bling — 24 carat gold leafing, not to mention Swarovski crystals — and they do not cost a whopping $32,300. Keep in mind, you could buy a car for that price. That is worth two semesters of college, if not more!

Given the price, you sort of have to wonder why they did not just go all out and decorate these computers — of which there are many designs — with diamonds. Maybe it is because Swarovski crystals are so trendy right now.

While these computers are unquestionably high end, one does have to question the necessity of such a machine.

Give Your Pool Table Some Horsepower!

automotive-pool-tableUnique Autosports knows the true way to a man’s heart. What do most men really, really want? A hot car and a stellar pool table, right? Sure, the name — Unique Autosports Pool Table — ain’t that great, but the product itself represents the height of luxurious gaming. Of course, we would expect no less from the innovators who brought us Hurricane Billiards and the Predator Pool Table.

Whoever thought of putting cars and billiards together may well deserve a medal. The shine of the chrome frame on which the table is mounted is worth a fortune in and of itself, especially when added to the table — comprised of black leather and black felt.

Nor is that all. There is a light kit installed on the pool table, which produces thousands of colors to add a little glam to your game.

Put a Fireplace on Your Coffee Table

planika-coffee-table-firepits-1Fireplaces that are not really fireplaces are becoming extremely popular these days. Take, for instance, this Planika fire pit — that goes right on the coffee table. Fueled by Fanola, the pit uses a mysterious green liquid to create warm fires which are both without odor and without any smoke, making it completely eco friendly.

Candles become entirely unnecessary with these styles, beautifully designed tables — because, yes, there is more than one from which you can choose.

Better still, they can be used indoors or outdoors. Either way, they are great for the environment and create the wonderful, cozy feeling of a warm burning fire. Romantic evenings are going to undergo an incredible evolution thanks to luxurious creations like this, you can definitely bet on that.

Take Your Mouse to the Next Level

razer-orochi-bt-mouseIsn’t it about time you have your computer’s mouse an update? Notoriously, computer mice (mouse? mouses?) are fairly tech savvy. We have come a long way from the old standard point and click. Still, high tech can only take you so far. This Razer Orichi gaming mouse is actually a thing of stunning beauty.

Gamers are going to want this even before they know what all it does. Heck, even non gamers are going to want one just for the design. This notebook mouse is meant to offer its users complete and utter comfort — not to mention style, as you can see with its sleek, serpentine logo.

The mouse also offers an amazing laser sensor — the 4000dpi Razer Precision 3G, to be precise. You can use it in both wireless and wire modes. There are seven completely customizable buttons, the Razer Synapse On Board Memory, and Bluetooth connectivity — 2.0, no less. All of that and it’s only eighty dollars! Or, at least, it will be when it is available in August.

Louis Vuitton Celebrates In Style!

custom-made trunk If there is one thing that I love about fashion, it is the fact that you can take something so simple … like an egg and turn it into something so fashionable and so cool looking.  Like this Louis Vuitton ‘Malle Mars’ truck that he created for the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11’s lunar landing.  This trunk is equipped with all sorts of space and is by far one of the coolest looking conversation pieces that I have ever seen!

Not only is the shape and how it folds out something that is so beautiful but the overall design of it is something that is breathtaking.  I love the pattern that he put all over it and I have to say that I would sit in front of it too if I had the chance to!

So check out the Louis Vuitton custom-made… this beautiful truck is going places and Louis knew exactly what he was doing when he came up with this one!
