7 items we love to hate (but secretly desire)

I'm in that state again - my wishful thinking state.

I love surfing the web for the newest luxury items - whether it's the newest luxury destination, or the newest luxury surgical operation, if it's got the word luxury attached to it, I'm viewing it.

Now I don't know about you, but there are just some luxury items when I talk to my girls that I openly hate; I give it a good put down so to speak. However, in the dead of the night you'd probably see me busy buying that item online! Talk about a deep dark expensive secret!

Here are some items that are just over the top but I bet you'd be buying later!

La Perla Dragon Bra - Frivolous? Definitely! When I think about it, this isn't just for women, this is also for men. The guys don't have to wear it, you just have to appreciate it! Think of it as wearable art. I imagine it to be difficult to wear since it's made of metal, but for the sake of art & fashion, there's no such thing as pain! 

Maingear Axess HD - all you technophiles out there, let us all salivate in this techno wonder that has a "...Dvd or Blue Ray player, Tivo-like functions, an Ipod-like music server capability, and a display of your favorite photos into an elegant minimalist chassis." It has 2 terabytes of internal storage (talk about BIG), you can view hundreds of hours of HD TV programming and accepts mostly every CD and Photo collection out in the market. Damage? $1,395. I imagine the ladies telling their men,"but that's... sooo expensive! you don't need it" - and the men will just shrug and say, "you just don't understand"

Los Cabos, Mexico - all that stress from work, your friends, family, and your significant other will take a toll on your beautiful face. Relax and unwind from all that stress at the Marquis Los Cabos. It's been in Conde Nast Traveler's Gold list for 2006-2007, and bagged the world's best hotel award for 2007 c/o Travel + Leisure, it's currently on auction over at Luxury Link. How frivolous can this resort get? It's got Bulgari toiletries. That's right. Toiletries. Bulgari.

Waterview Dental - What? A luxury dental clinic? I kid you not. Waterview Dental boasts of Spa Amenities to rival that of your actual SPA. What do I mean by that? Massage chairs, DVD selections, pillows + blankets + personal warm towels, a cappucino bar, and personal headphones. Pretty soon they'll be introducing on site Jewelry Cleaning (inform me of this one.... i have no idea why there will be jewelry cleaning .. maybe the bling on their teeth?), and paraffin wax therapy. Talk about a super relaxing experience before your painful tooth canal.

The Cinderella Slippers - Turn your ugly duckling into a princess! The Cinderella Slippers as designed by Stuart Weizman is studded with 565 Platinum-set Kwiat Diamonds + 55 carats of clear diamonds + 1 big 5-carat stone. This was worn by Alisson Kraus during the Oscars in 2004 (my my, how many bodyguards did she have to bring?) The cost? A whopping $2 million!!! This is one pair of shoes Cinderalla won't DARE lose at the ball!

Bugatti Veyron - This one's for the men.  The Bugatti Veyron is supposedly the most  expensive car  in the world according to the automotoportal.com.

 

"The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is the most powerful, most expensive, and fastest street-legal production car in the world, with a proven top speed of over 400 km/h (407 km/h or 253 mph)"

and last but certainly not the least...

A $2.72 Million Camel as purchased by the Crown Prince of Dubai.It doesn't get any more luxurious, extravagant and over the top than a purchase of a camel for that amount at a... camel beauty pageant.

 

Have a good work week everyone!
