My God this joint is cold blooded. The Black Ruby Rolls Royce is a 1 of 1 and its going for a cool $1.2mil; its cheaper than the Bugatti but I have to say the Bugatti has been dethroned as the coldest two seater in the world courtesy of the Black Ruby!

Meet the cold blooded 2011 Porsche Boxster Spyder, the lightest model in the sports-car maker’s range. Although the standard Boxster roadster is hardly what you’d call ponderous, the 2011 Boxster Spyder drops a significant 176 pounds compared with the Boxster S. The Boxster Spyder brings more to the game than fewer pounds. The 3.4-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine belts out 320 horsepower at a howling 7200 rpm, 10 more than the Boxster S and 65 more than 2.9-liter engine in the standard Boxster.
In addition to being decidedly nimbler than its more generously equipped siblings, the Boxster Spyder is also marginally quicker. Equipped with Porsche’s Sports Chrono Package ($960) and the lightning-quick Porsche-Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch automated manual transmission (a $3,420 option; a traditional six-speed manual is standard), the new Spyder can make the sprint to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds, a tenth of a second quicker than a so-equipped Boxster S, and rush all the way to an open-top 166 mph. The race-ready Boxster Spyder arrives in Porsche showrooms this month, priced at $61,200.

Ivanka Trump is betting on shoes. According to sources the model-turned-businesswoman, author and designer has inked a deal for a contemporary footwear line via a licensing agreement with Marc Fisher Footwear.
“Ivanka had been thinking about a footwear line and someone recommended Marc Fisher to her. Simultaneously, we saw Ivanka’s iconic style as an opportunity to fill a niche in the footwear business,” said Marc Fisher President Susan Itzkowitz. “When we met, we realized our visions were one and the same and the partnership was formed.”
Beyond that similar take on fashion, the Marc Fisher brand was impressed by Trump’s dedication to her career.
“We believe Ivanka has something fresh and distinctive to offer in what is otherwise a celebrity-saturated market,” Marc Fisher, CEO of his eponymous firm, said in a statement.
“She has substance, a successful career and fashionable life that is appealing to all women.”
In addition to her developing footwear collection, Trump is exploring further licensing opportunities for apparel and accessories. She already has an eponymous jewelry collection, which is housed in the Ivanka Trump Collection flagship on Madison Avenue.
“Our deal was finalized within two weeks of meeting Marc Fisher. I knew immediately that we would be able to successfully collaborate together and that he could execute our vision in accordance with my design aesthetic,” said Trump. “I am confident that our partnership will produce the type of quality and high style product that will appeal to many.”

The Instant Icon is fit for a king. This yacht is definitely for those who can appriciate elegance and living life to the fullest. Seeing creations such as these and knowing that they are attainable for me to experience only motivates me to strive for heaven’s best.
People lets get up, get out and get something!
The Dutch reputation for building impressive superyachts lives on the 62-meter Icon, which was unveiled to the public in September at the Monaco Yacht Show. The sleek dark-hulled 203-foot motoryacht, with its white, tiered superstructure, was quite an impressive debut for the Netherlands-based Icon, which launched itself only three years ago.
British yacht design firm Redman Whiteley Dixon worked on the exterior, which the owner mandated to be a “simple, young boat” as well as a portrait of quality. The exterior was kept free of superfluous details, and every possible effort was made to make it look ultrasmooth. Items like retractable navigation lights and flush life rafts add to the impression of a simple, flawless hull form. The owners are also water-sports enthusiasts, and requested a dive club and gym at the transom, allowing a clear ocean view and instant access to the water. The “beach club” room is composed of a simple, light-colored wood, a stainless-steel wall, and off-white lounges. The owners also wanted private access to their suite, so a set of separate stairs connects to their room with a 180-degree view of the water, as well as its own outer patio. When the owner’s salon doors are open, there is a straight-line view from the aft deck of the yacht all the way to the forward windows. The price was undisclosed but if you got deep pockets and want to check on it you can call 011.31.517.494600 or log on to www.iconyachts.eu. More

Cartier was founded by Louis-Francois Cartie in 1847. The luxury brand is responsible for creating the first wrist watch for men. It was given a distinctive square bezel and named the “Santos” after the Brazilian aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont. Alberto complained to his founder friend on his issues with his pocket watch at high altitudes. Louis was then inspired to create the unique wrist watch for the aviator buddy. “In a New York Times articele by Guy Trebay Frédéric de Narp, president and chief executive of Cartier North America, said last week“Cartier is a true luxury brand,” adding that “there is no fashion at Cartier, there are no seasonal products. There is just the timelessness of something valuable cherished for generation after generation.”
From its inception Cartier has always been a brand of exclusivity creating distinctive timeless jewelry for royalty, star, celebrities. One Prince of Wales hailed Cartier as “Joaillier des Rois, Roi des Joailliers” (Jeweller to Kings, King of Jewellers”). Cartier received an order for 27 tiaras for the coronation of the future King. King Edward VII was crowned in 1902 and in 1904 he honoured the Company with the Royal warrant of supplier to the Royal Court of England. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt and finally Albania, and also from the House of Orleans and the Principality of Monaco.Cartier is at present the no. 1 seller of luxury jewellery in the world, and the no. 2 seller of luxury watches.
I really think Cartiers aproach to creating pieces is the way to go. With the new age brands it seems there is to much focus on being trendy and seasons, and less focus on creating a brand that will stand the test of time.
