Morgans Hotel's Vending machine throws out exclusive items

Since I do business with Morgans Hotel group, I am happy to let everyone know that they are pushing the limits check this out. This is one of the most novel vending machine's I've seen in recent times. The Semi-Automatic has been designed by Mari Balestrazzy for the Morgans Hotel Group. It's a compact luxe shop in a machine, so don't expect it to throw out candies and sodas. What it sells is exclusive and luxurious items curated by Kim Walker, the hotel group’s creative director. The unique products range from 24-karat gold handcuffs from Kiki de Montparnasse, luxury cars for rent (a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow or 2000 Bentley Azure convertible), Fred Flare heart sunglasses, a 14-karat gold necklace by Kiel Mead, and Atari classics for PlayStation. Sounds like a lot of fun. If you want to go and get something from this innovative vending machine, you will have to head to the Marcel Wanders-design Mondrian South Beach hotel in Miami it just opened in December 2008.
