The days of the Fonze and old drive in moves are back. For a measley $14,995 (economy model) you can have your own 24 foot inflatable screen. The brains behind the concept is VXP, an American company who are currently selling the screens on eBay.

VXP also do a more professional 30 foot ‘pro’ screen for those passionate about drive-ins.

Something tells me that these will be popular all over the globe, especially when you compare the price to giant LCD screens, and at least you can fold these away easily for next sumer too!

Indonesia’s super rich super-sized folk are lining up for this special culinary delight.

image

We’re talking about a burger that integrates a bit of the West with the East and is possibly the most expensive in the World today. It’s available at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Here are the stats:
Weight: 200 grams (7 ounces)
Beef: Finest Japanese Kobe beef
Sauce: Wasabi mayonnaise
Filing: Italian portobello mushrooms
Bun: Home-made onion-wheat bun
Extras: Served with Asian pear, French foie gras and French fries.


FACT - Kobe beef comes from the ancient Japanese Wagyu black cattle breed which receive a daily massage, reputedly one of the secrets of its famous marbling, flavor and tenderness. During the final fattening, the cattle are also fed hefty quantities of sake and beer mash, the theory being that mellow, relaxed cows make for good beef.

The best things come in small packages… well that is what my wife tells me!

Can you imagine wearing nail polish containing platinum dust? You’d have to have buckets of cash and want people to know it!

Well, you fat cats can now get your hands on this exclusive range of nail polish and perfume which sits under a brand called ‘I Do’, which is a collaboration between Allure magazine, platinum supplier Johnson Matthey, PGI and Essie Cosmetics. This range is y far the most expensive in the world and demand is surprisingly high I’m told.

You can pick up a bottle of the polish at the bargain price of $250, or if you want the special edition bottle with the platinum lid and base (of which there is only one), then be prepared to cough up $55,000.

The world’s most expensive perfume is a creation by famous British perfumer Arthur Burnham who has created a bottle with platinum, 24 carat gold, rubies and diamonds all over it! It is called ‘Parfum VI’ and believe it or not, Rolls-Royce designed and built the box. You can’t expect much change from £50,000.

This plane is the pimp daddy of all planes with:

• 2 Dining rooms
• A 600 square foot bedroom
• Games room
• Whirlpool tubs.

It’s a pimped up Airbus A380 “superjumbo” that’s cost a massive £225m. The refit alone will cost approximately £75m and the plane, around £150m.

image

For the safety conscious the plane be fitted with the latest missile-defense system. The lounge will be fitted with curtains that mimic tents of the Arabian desert, and a fibre-optic mosaic that will depict a shifting desert scene.

In terms of running costs, you could be looking at £2500 - £4000 per hour to fly.

Nice to see the rich and famous lead an example of reducing Carbon Footprints!
