licca-chan!This gleaming new dolly is clearly only a toy for a very, very lucky girl. It is available to purchase at Tomy Toys with a hefty price tag of $935,000, and it’s not surprising considering she is studded with over 70 diamonds, representing around 51.4 carats. I think this product is one for the big kids though, and would look outstanding in any toy collection. Eat your heart out Barbie and Sindy!

Who would of thought you can now experience a disco whilst you shower, relaxing Spa treatments and explore fun, unique snow caves all at the Butlins holiday camp in Bognor Regis! The founder of Butlins had the intention of appealing to the working class family describing the Butlins experience as: “A week’s holiday for a weeks pay”, however, holiday makers can expect to pay at the most popular time of year £1,440 for a stay of seven nights, in this new £20 million Ocean Hotel. It seems even the basic of things have the potential to deliver a luxurious experience.

Is that really Butlins!?

Stunning Architecture, with a stunning price tag!

Everyone loves a good ol’ swap, so it is exciting to hear the plans revealed, that from the 1st-14th September, 2009, the Exchange Room will be open  in London. The idea was founded by the artist Ian Bruce and close friend Tom Daly, whereby Ian Bruce’s Art work is to be exchanged for the cost of the exhibition itself. Corporations and fellow artists are trading expenses for the production of the exhibition such as galleries, food and travel,  for Art by Ian Bruce. Who doesnt want to be involved in swapping in a glamorous setting and dignified manner. There is no denying the exclusivity of  the exhibition, the worth of goods being traded and the luxurious quality of Artwork.

Ian Bruce’s work.

andy-warhol-michael-jacksonMemorabilia of The late King of Pop is everywhere to be seen on the high street, upon market stalls, on auction websites such as Ebay, and even as prizes to be won within arcade machines. But Andy Warhol’s latest green portrait of Michael Jackson is slightly more difficult to purchase. It is on show at the British Music Experience exhibition, located at the O2 centre, to commemorate the place where Jackson was to perform for the last time. It was unveiled on the 5th August, 2009, for fans and the public to admire, as it is arranged to return to New York where it will be auctioned with a starting bid of $800,000.

Swarovski-Crystal-Toilet-75000This is a somewhat magnificent example of crystals having the power, to make the most unglamorous of ablutions luxurious. The Swarovski toilet was designed by Jemal Wright from Florida, and has been available since 2008 for a pricey $75,000. It is just one of the many items available from the Isis Collection. However, one questions the practicability of ‘Cillit banging’ a crystal studded toilet. There is no questioning the sheer beauty of this bathroom centre piece, however the debate arises as to whether it would be on Paris Hilton’s shopping list or her Majesty the Queen’s.
