  • Link: It's Good to Be David Beckham's Kid

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2009/01/its-good-to-be-david-be... [link]

    It's a real pisser when some little five year old punk drives a more expensive Porsche than you do. But I guess when your Daddy is uber-star David Beckham, you can afford such luxuries. I'm just jealous since all I had was a pedal car when I was a kid and not a custom-made, diesel powered Porsche Speedster replica which costs over $72,000. Admittedly, it is one bad-ass looking toy.

  • Response to Third-Hand Smoke:

    There's also fourth hand smoke which is the stench of burning human flesh after I put out my cigar on anyone who lectures me on third hand smoke.

  • Link: Topless Bling

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2009/01/topless-bling.html [link]

    Would you buy jewelry from a bunch of topless ladies? The fiendish bastards behind Th Sun's Page 3 are hoping so as they've launched a site hawking bling ranging from earrings, pendants, bracelets and watches. Admittedly, none of the stuff you'll find on their site will exactly be mistaken for Harry Winston pieces, but if your new girlfriend is a Girls Gone Wild type, this jewelry will probably be good enough.

  • Link: Ski Home Simulator

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2009/01/ski-home-simulator.html [link]

    I think I'm the only person who grew up in the great state of Oregon who doesn't know how to ski. The first time I tried hitting the slopes was in college when a bunch of my deadbeat friends gave me five minutes worth of lessons and left me on the intermediate slopes while they went off to the advanced runs. I managed to ski/slide my way down one time without killing myself, however, the second time down I wasn't so lucky. Some little punk girl cut me off, and not wanting to plow into this 70 lb terror on skis, I swerved hard, got my poles tied up with my skis, and promptly dropped the entire weight of my body on my right thumb. Tearing various ligaments in the thumb, I vowed never to ski again. However, I would be agreeable to trying out this cool ski simulator we found on random-good-stuff.com. It's like a Wii Fit Board on crack, and at around $2300, it's as expensive as crack.

    Image: What Happens if You Drive a Beater

    The tag line of this photo is “Where was your wife today?”. We dedicate this post to Jesuel G. who is the most frugal multi-millionaire on the planet and hopes he does buy that used Altima.

  • Link: Luxe in Brooklyn

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2009/01/luxe-in-brooklyn.html [link]

    Capitalism and entrepreneurism: two hallmarks of this great nation that has been under pressure lately, what with all this bailout nonsense. After reading this article in the New York Times, it's great to know that entrepreneurs still exist in this country, even if its in the neighborhoods of Brooklyn, specifically the neighborhoods of Greenpoint, Williamsburg and Bushwick. Hyperbodega.com is a delivery service started by a couple of enterprising hustlers - the legit type - that caters to providing folks in their neighborhood all the essentials they may need between the hours of 10:30PM to 4:30PM. And by essentials, we mean beer, cigarettes, condoms, sandwiches, basically anything you can find in a bodega if you're hungry, thirsty, or horny. And what is a bodega you might ask? We had to look it up ourselves and found out that it's basically like a mini-mart/liquor store. The service works like this: you place an order on their site. They call you back and negotiate a price depending on the difficulty of your order and the distance of your home, building in about a 20 percent profit into the final tab. They'll pick up your stuff at the local bodega and deliver the goods to your home where you'll pay the delivery guy cash money. According to co-founder Abe Jellinek (or Mr. Jellinek as he prefers to be called): “I do capitalize on the laziness of people. Some people are artists; others are schemers and dreamers. The end product is, it’s a luxury, like a concierge service for Bushwick.” And there it is, why we're showcasing Hyper Bodega on G Luxe: because they're providing a bit of luxury to the fine folks of Brooklyn. Props to you guys and we hope your business is a success.

  • Link: Love Me Some Chupa Chups

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/love-me-some-chupa-chup... [link]

    Remember Chupa Chups? I use to down those tasty, creamy lollipops by the box-full back in middle-school. Happily, they're still around providing a whole new generation of kids with dental issues. It also looks like they've amped up their sex-factor with their new racy ad campaign. Gawd I would love to lick that…lollipop ;)

  • Link: Worst Show On Cable…EVER

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/worst-show-on-cableever... [link]

    The Martha Stewart clan may be rich, but they're definitely not sexy and the only thing indulgent about them is Martha at a Soup Plantation buffet. It's a Saturday night and after watching eight hours of football, I'm half passed-out on the couch and for some reason cannot stop watching Whatever, Martha!, a show on the Fine Living Network featuring Martha's obnoxious daughter (who refers to her Mom as Martha…classy) and her fat friend who spend the entire half-hour providing caustic commentary on old Martha Stewart episodes. It's bad plus annoying multiplied by gross squared. I really want to change the channel but it's like watching a midget bestiality snuff flick…you're horrified but can't hit stop. Just kidding about that last part, I'm not into bestiality.

  • Link: Most Searched Athletes in 2008

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/most-searched-athletes-... [link]

    Yahoo just released their list of top-searched athletes in 2008. Surprise, surprise, some sexy ladies are at the top of the list with Pomeranian-lover Maria Sharapova taking the top spot followed by ass-beater Gina Carano and lead-foot spark plug Danica Patrick. We're also big fans of #8 Leryn Franco. Don't worry ladies, David Beckham hung on with the #10 spot.

  • Link: Meet Zenvo

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/meet-zenvo.html [link]

    If you've never heard of Danish car maker Zenvo Automotive, you might be hearing more about them in the future with the introduction of their first super car: the ST1. With more horsepower (1,104 hp) than the Bugatti Veyron, this beast of a car can ride its turbocharged V-8 engine from 0-60 in 3 seconds flat before maxing out at 233 mph. The ST1 looks like a supercar, with the aesthetic profile of a starship. We dig it. Production will begin in earnest next year, hopefully to coincide with an economic recovery so that a few people will be able to actually afford one.

  • Link: Club All Day, All Night

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/club-all-day-all-night.... [link]

    Unlike G Luxe friends Shadinksy and Karla D., I can only take house music in limited doses. After an hour or two, I start wishing I did take drugs. Well if you can't get enough house, you'll love b@, a new site that caters to the clubber set. If you don't have the stash or the time to go clubbing in hot spots like Ibiza and NYC, you'll be able to have your own little party in front of your laptop by signing up for a free membership. In addition to the footage, you'll be able to make your own profile and do the whole social networking thing including tagging yourself in videos and uploading your own music. Register at be-at.tv.

  • Link: World's Hottest Scientist

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/worlds-hottest-scientis... [link]

    If the US is to maintain it's leadership in science, it needs more science-types that look like physicist Amy Mainzer. Who is Amy Mainzer? She's a scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who has a B.S. in physics from Stanford, M.S. in astronomy from Cal Tech, and a PhD in astronomy from UCLA. So obviously she has brains, but as I found out while watching History Channel's The Universe late one night, she also has the looks. Oh does she have the looks. Check out the video clip below and see if you agree. So what do you think the odds are of Ms. Mainzer doing a Maxim spread?

  • Link: Sexy Private Equity

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/sexy-private-equity.html [link]

    In my “real job”, I spend my days working on buyout deals. I basically buy the crap that investment bankers sell. Unfortunately, the companies we buy aren't exactly sexy (think Dilbert). The deal studs at OpenGate Capital appear to have a much more interesting deal flow as they recently acquired Models 1, a leading European modeling agency. Seriously, how cool is that. Mr. Nikou (OpenGate Founder, Chairman, and Managing Partner), if you need another deal pro with over 30 deals and $2 billion in acquired revenue under his belt, I'd love to work on your next modeling deal.

  • Link: Mini Anden On Arena

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/mini-anden-on-arena.html [link]

    Honestly, we have no idea who Mini Anden is, but we are now huge fans after seeing her intoxicating video below, which is featured on Arena's website. Apparently she's a model-turned-actress, or something like that. We really don't care, we just hope to see more of Mini in the future.

  • Link: Time for an Encore

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/time-for-encore.html [link]

    In what could be the worse timing of any hotel opening, Steve Wynn premiered his brand new Encore Las Vegas this evening. With the country well in recession and foreigners less likely to drop their ever scarce Euros and Yen on a weekend of frivolous gambling, Wynn will be hard-pressed to make the launch a success. Rates in January will run about $200 with certain nights for Red Card members dropping down to $129. Hotel reviews will probably start rolling in during the next few days and we'll make sure to keep you all posted. Hopefully, they'll have a more liberal checkout policy than its sister Wynn. We did hear from a Wynn front desk person a few weeks ago that Encore should have a more youthful vibe, especially once it's XS nightclub opens in January.

  • Link: Snail Caviar

    http://gluxe.blogspot.com/2008/12/snail-caviar.html [link]

    I consider myself a bit of an adventurous eater. While I may not have the intestinal fortitude of an Anthony Bourdain, I still enjoy foods that the average American will find “weird”. Chicken feet? Love them. Durian? The smellier the better. That's why I don't know why I was a bit grossed out when I read about snail caviar, which is available at Harrods. I love escargot and I dig caviar, so why not snail caviar? The French Company that produces the caviar claims that it has a “delicate flavor, with surprising sensations”, and that the diner will “experience the sensation of a walk in the forest after the rain, mushrooms and oal flavors, the scent of humid moss peat”. Well, it sounds interesting and if I ever get my hands on the precious caviar, I promise to get over my squeamishness and try some.

  • Link: Kate and Sasha for Longchamp

    Drugs, or no drugs, we love Kate Moss. We love her more after this sexy little ad for French design house, Longchamp, which is part of their upcoming spring/summer campaign. The lovely thing embracing her is Russian model Sasha Pivovarova.

    Looks like the future Mrs. Reggie Bush has come out with a calendar for 2009. There are some fairly nice pics with nothing too particularly racy (too bad). Pick up a couple as stocking stuffers at amazon.com.
