A-Morir Barracuda Studded Sunglasses.
Although a bit less wearable than Kanye’s shutter shades, these new Barracuda studded sunglasses from A-Morir retain that same avant-garde feel, surely bound to garner a good amount of similar hype. Crafted by hand, the Kerin Rose-created shades feature a fully studded exterior with comfortable visibility,
Jeff Koons Diamond In The Roof.
Hedge-fund mogul Richard Perry has distinctively placed one of Jeff Koons’ famous “Diamond” sculpture on the roof of his luxury penthouse. Having paid 2.3 million dollars in 2005, he installed his flashy green diamond on the roof using a crane in 2007. That’s when the complaints started coming in. “The 5ft tall stainless steel metallic sculpture apparently reflected the sun into “laser beam” rays into the surrounding neighbors’ windows. The diamond has since been adjusted and angled in an effort to be more conscious of nearby residents”. Another neighbor have also commented “I think it’s as ugly as it comes.”
Gold Porsche...
This 911 isn’t painted gold, it’s actually 20 lbs of gold sheets used on the body. Can’t be good for the performance.

Is Sapphire The New Black?
You wouldn't think that this would be the time to launch a luxury credit card but JPMorgan Chase & Co. has come out with a new card, Chase Sapphire, which is aimed at the affluent. Bloomberg News reports that Chase Sapphire is for households with incomes exceeding $120,000. The new card has no pre-set spending limit and holders earn a point for every dollar they spend.
There are two Chase Sapphire cards. The basic card offers the Ultimate Rewards program that includes double points on airfare purchased through the company's travel booking tool and up to ten bonus points per dollar for shopping at any of the over 300 merchants featured at the Ultimate Rewards Mall. The Preferred card also includes a 25 percent travel bonus that means points are 25 percent more valuable when booked online with the travel booking tool. Preferred card members will receive 10,000 bonus points on purchases of $50,000 or more per year. The cards also offer concierge service and emergency services for travelers. The Chase Sapphire has no annual fee and the Chase Preferred has a fee of $95 after the first year. Chase Sapphire has a 10.24 percent variable interest rate and a $39 late fee for balances over $250.
The Sapphire card is meant to compete against American Express and its many programs for affluent cardholders. The Bloomberg article states that American Express CEO Kenneth Chenault told investors recently that his cardholders on average spend 3.5 times more than Visa cardholders and 4.5 times more than MasterCard users. The Sapphire's points and rewards program are meant to appeal to those who use their cards frequently. Will it work? American Express's cardholders are pretty loyal to the brand. But with American Express raising fees and rates being able to switch to a new card with no annual fee might be appealing
$600,000 Violin left in NYC Taxi-Cab Returned to Korean Prodigy
"My Baby!" That's what acclaimed violinist Hahn-Bin reportedly exclaimed upon have his prized possession returned. The 22-year-old Korean musician was returning to his Chinatown apartment in Manhattan from the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts and apparently left the 18th-century instrument, reportedly worth some $600,000, in the cab, along with his credit card. Hahn-Bin returned home, took a shower, and then realized what had happened. He called the taxi company, who used GPS tracking devices to locate the cab in which he rode, called the driver and woke him up to confirm that the instrument was in his possession. The violin was then returned to its owner, who is now preparing for his debut at Carnegie Hall in October.
Believe it or not, that's not even the most valuable instrument ever left in a New York yellow cab. Not by a long shot. In 2001, cellist Lynn Harrell left a $4 million, 328-year-old Stradivarius in her cab, two years after Yo-Yo Ma left his $2.5 million, 266-year-old cello in a cab as well. Like Hahn-Bin, their instruments were returned to them, and they probably never left them out of their sight again.
