Thursday July 8th, 2010 22:10 Katie Price luxury wedding home

Katie Price AKA Jordan, the British glamor model, bought a country home in West Sussex worth a whopping £2 million which was used for her wedding to Alex Reid.

The home has six bedrooms and sits on an expansive 53 acres of land. At least that’s £2 million spent on something that they can actually use afterwards.

The couple already married in Vegas but decided to hold another ceremony to involve family and friends.

Too bad the police were called as a brawl erupted on their supposed special day when security personnel got tangled up with the paparazzi who were trying to snap some pictures of the couple.

Friday June 18th, 2010 08:18 Diddy Gets Son Justin Dior Combs Silver Maybach for 16th

Wow.  For my sweet 16 I think I got like a card or something, but that’s just not how Diddy and son Justin Dior Combs rolls, is it?

For his 16th birthday, Diddy’s son Justin received a luxurious silver Maybach supercar and probably about peed his pants.  When asked about his decision for doing this on ABC’s Nightline, Diddy got a little on the defensive side about the whole thing, and feels like if he can do for his boy, he should.

Wonder if Justin is going to be as lavish in his Father’s Day gift for his rapper dad.

Tuesday April 13th, 2010 08:28 Prince Harry Spends $15,400 In Four Hours

Poor Prince Harry, third in line for the British throne, red-headed tendencies and not the best looks in the family make us all feel a little empathy towards this sometimes awkward 25-year-old prince.

But it looks like Prince Harry can take care of himself sometimes, at least where champagne is concerned anyway.  This weekend Harry spent a total of $15,400 in less than four hours, sipping around 15 bottles of Moet and Laurent Perrier while in the clubs of London Friday night.  Man, do you know how many TJ Maxx shopping trips that is?  A lot.  Ohhhhh, the luxurious life of a prince.

Wednesday October 7th, 2009 12:01 Neiman Marcus Unveils Luxury Christmas Book Gifts

It’s that time of the year boys and girls!

Neiman Marcus unveils their 2009 Christmas Book.

Neiman Marcus unveils their 2009 Christmas Book.

Neiman-Marcus has unveiled the 2009 Christmas Book.  Oh happy days and damn any recession because we have visions of cupcake-shaped electric cars for the kiddos, the world’s fastest electric motorcycle, and dinner with some of today’s bestselling authors.  These are just a few of the fantasy gifts for sale in Neiman Marcus’ 2009 Christmas book.

Dallas-based Neiman Marcus made a conscious effort to offer more affordable options while not disappointing loyal luxury shoppers as it unveiled its Christmas Book at the Dallas Contemporary.

Among this year’s offerings are a customized Cupcake Car for kids that costs $25,000 and reaches top speeds of 7 miles per hour. For adults, there’s a 2010 Jaguar XJL super-charged sedan, priced at $105,000. Neiman Marcus customers will be the first to be able to purchase the vehicle, which comes with a 5-piece set of luggage that matches its leather interior.

This year’s his-and hers gift – an annual tradition – is an ICON A5 sports aircraft, with pilot training for two. It costs a mere $250,000.

At $200,000, the Algonquin Round Table Experience includes dinner for two at New York’s Algonquin Hotel with Malcolm Gladwell, John Lithgow, Nora Ephron with eight famous authors, including and Henry Louis Gates, Jr.

About 40 percent of this year’s catalog items are priced under $250.

The luxury retailer’s his-and-hers gifts and other over-the-top holiday gift ideas represent a tradition that dates back to the 1950s. Stanley and Edward Marcus started picking attention-grabbing gifts to get the store on national TV, and it still works.

Last year, the Dallas-based retailer offered all 530 square yards of one of the end zones at Texas Stadium and a party to go with it for $500,000. His-and-hers gifts were life-size Lego likenesses of the buyers for $60,000 apiece.

A limited-edition 2009 BMW Individual 7 Series sedan offered a year ago didn’t sell out. Thirty-one were offered to represent the number of years that BMW has been selling in the U.S. A car has been part of the catalog for many years and has been known to sell out in a matter of minutes.

Luxury has been hard hit by the recession and has experienced some of the biggest sales declines. Neiman Marcus is adding more merchandise in its middle price points this year, while it continues to sell its highest priced luxury brands.

For the second year, Neiman Marcus is publishing a separate holiday book featuring “giftable” items, many under $100.
