Where the Street and High Fashion Meet!

Louis Vuitton is one of the best designer brands. The name is synonymous with style and luxury. Now the famous designer house is all set to rule the sporting arena by launching a line of designer skateboards. The collection inspired by Stephen Sprouse will be available at their New York SoHo store. I really like the SoHo, it might be because I live a 3minutes walk away from it. Anyway the skateboards are quite stylish and promise to steal the show. The designer line is exclusive with only two skateboards up for sale at the store. The only problem I see is these boards costs $8,250, way out of the price range for most people who skateboard. Is it worth it?

Not For Everyone: GTMo6


This new addition for Grönefeld is so impressive that it makes many other timepieces pale in comparison to its GTM06. This outstanding piece is said to be the first Grande Complication of the Dutch brothers Bart and Tim Grönefeld. It is counted amongst the world's most exclusive and expensive watches. It has the most stylish and elegant look one could hope for. They say that it is Netherland's most complicated wristwatch. An example of its exclusivity is that there has only been ten times 18 karat gold and platinum have gone in the making of a timepiece. The GTM06 is priced at $460,000, so now you know it's not for everyone.

For The Ladies...

Zucca print is my favorite for any woman of mine, but I cannot deny looking around they have started getting a little to common the last couple of years. But the Grommeted Zucca bag with Brown Zucca print canvas by Fendi manages to stand out inspite of its clichéd base. I would give the credit of its success to the Beige contrast and Fendi logo all over the bag. Grommeted Zucca bag de jour retails for $1,280.

HARLEM!



Since I moved back and forth from DC to Harlem for most of my life. I have to show Jim Jones some luv on the "Get money by any means tip". If you know anything about these two city's, then you know that trends are started there and the people stay fly... It is a recession, I cant show people popping champagne

Multi-Touch G2 from PQLabs, iTable Coming Soon





The Multi-Touch G2 from PQLabs looks to offering an attachment that hooks on to your existing 32-inch (or larger) set with double-sided tape. In the process it gives you multi-touch sensitivity, enough finger space to go touch-happy! The firm is also coming out with the iTable, which is a multi-touch panel with a built-in computer. I will forgive you, if you know about or still remember the Microsoft Surface for a moment. The Multi-Touch G2 will be selling for $2,399, which may deter the avid gamer, considering its reflexive responses to the Warcraft 3. No pricing for the iTable yet.

WTF Cadillac : Zero Maintenance




Most of us cannot stand our cars after 5 years of using and maintaining it, and if the recession hasn't taught one car company a lesson, it could be on its way to making a car that lasts for 100 years without maintenance. The designer and creator Loren Kulesus for the Cadillac World Thorium Fuel concept or WTF, thinks that by providing thorium as a power source for batteries the car could run for 100 years at least. Featuring 24 wheels, each corner lays home to six individual wheels side by side with their own power source. Every 5 years they would need to be adjusted, but never replaced or added. If that is all that is needed for so-called maintenance then it's clear that the price for this space age car sure is out of this world.

Jean Nouvel's Aquatic Center




Les Bains des Docks by Jean Nouvel is its name, and destroying everything you thought you knew about what a swimming structure should be is its game. Nouvel’s design for an aquatic center is part of the Port 2000 development in Le Havre, France. The center itself consists of a staggering 12 pools and all the other stuff you’d want for a fun day in the water. The only thing that's missing is some turn tables and a Dj.
