Oh, I wish I was a jet-setter with diamonds in my hair

Love gold? Love the idea of living surrounded by it? Have stupidly massive amounts of money to waste and are bored by the idea of travel, books or anything mind-broadening like that?

$26600. Solid gold speakers from MBL.

Though to be honest, if you need one of these it shows you still use CD's. My god, MBL, when are you going to come out with those gold plated iPod speakers I just can't live without?

Apparently it offers a "pure audio experience". Which I'm sure you care about if you're the sort of person who buys speakers with gold buttons.

This one is £8000 pounds, and in case you hadn't realised, is a solid gold Blackberry Torch handset. Once again, it's slightly outdated, because it's got a keypad instead of a touch screen, but fuck that, IT'S GOLD!

It also comes in pink, yellow and rose gold. Because if your solid gold phone doesn't match your outfit they don't let you into first class.

Also available with a sprinkling of diamonds. HELL YEAH!

Anne-Julie Jewellery: Just love it. Just do.

Cameo. Lockets. Hearts. Hand crafted and individual. Valentine's day soon. Just leave this website (http://www.annejulie-art.com/blog/)  open on his browser and maybe he'll get the right idea.

Enchanted Doll and the magical realm of pretty creepiness.

This is the 20 to Midnight doll from the Enchanted Doll range. Just watch her blank, staring eyes and she reclines naked, wondering why you are staring at her grossly deformed head. She is sucking out your soul.
These are genuinely real, not just computer animations. You can order your own. If you really want an incredibly realistic and intricate doll. With incredibly intricate and realistic...umm... nipples.

Yeah, these are definitely not kids toys.

These are metal shoes you can get for your enchanted doll. They come in four styles, Extravagance, Persian Slippers, Marie Antoinette and Hopscotch. Yeah, no clothes, but REALLY GREAT SHOES!
The thing is, I actually find these really pretty and would love one, but I would probably have to destroy it after a while because of the fear that it would come alive and murder me.

Amy Sol

This is Amy Sol's pottery. Her designs are slightly weird, very ethereal and always beautiful.

And as you may have noticed, she has a thing for this girl with dark hair and closed eyes. It's highly likely that a generation of emos have taken, or will take, her pictures and use them as their MySpace backgrounds, but for me, they will always be gorgeous. Even if they do make me think of annoyingly depressing Luke in my maths class.

I don't know WHAT these are but I found them by accident

Aren't they just awesome? I mean, AREN'T THEY?

Because, dammit, what very office needs is a more male-dominated feel

The idea of this office is that it moves away from the modern concept of "having fun while working" and "making friends with your co-workers" and goes back to the traditional Victorian concept of "Men in dark suits playing cards and laughing at poor people."

Did I mention that it's for an investment bank? The last people you would want to give those attiudes to, considering the recent economic crisis?

Battle of the Mad Sporting Marketing Concepts

While stalking Acces Agency, I came across two separate ideas for marketing a sports brand, one for Nike and one for Puma. A normal person would feel no reaction and click the "Back" button. Me? I decide to do a battle

NIKE

Wow I Want To Do That Rating: 10/10. I mean, come on. It's a giant waterslide.
Reality Rating: 2/10 As you can see, it's computer generated, and I think that most organisations with something to do with the coastline would have something to say about a giant inflatable advert popping up across the cliffs.
Effectiveness Rating: 5/10 We're working on the assumption it was built here. Advertising is all about subliminal messaging. Unfortunately, here this could go both ways. It could either be "WHOAH, THAT WAS AWESOME SO NIKE MUST BE AWESOME!" or it could result in a totally consuming fear of giant red ticks. It's a 50% chance.

PUMA

Wow I Want To Do That Rating: 4/10. By day it is a national competition for who can keep spin-cycling the longest. While I guess that might give someone a chance at glory who would otherwise spend the rest of their lives wondering why they waisted so much time building up ridiculously strong legs, most people would go "Eeer...no thanks" if approached on the street and asked if they wanted to keep cycling for a ridiculous amount of time. By evening it transforms into a nightclub. An open air nightclub. It's cold at night. Who wants to go clubbing in a coat? On a shiny platform where everyone can see your drunk behaviour?
Reality Rating: 8/10. Puma just need say the word and it's go...after all, it's not a quantum leap away from Smirnoff and it's parties.
Effectiveness Rating: 6/10 When watching it on TV, it will seem great. "Look at all those tough men go" teenage boy will think. "All powered by Puma." And he will go to Puma. For the people involved, however, the dissapointment and pain will be so scarring they will probably never buy Puma again, and will possibly sue. Hell, I would.

Decades collection

Being a lover of all things vintage I love this collection from http://www.thevintageweddingdresscompany.com. They've designed a series of dresses inspired by different decades. I particularly love the 60's one. It's retro, glamorous and they are all lace. It's my fashiony wet dream.

70's style through to 40's style from left to right. Below, 30's style

PINBALL

It's life size! And YOU are the ball!
That's not a fun marketing concept, Access Agencies, that's the plot of a low-rent horror movie!

It even looks like a torture machine inside!

Vionnet

Vionnet are a little known designer label at the moment. In my non-expert opinion, they'll soon be everywhere, simply because their dresses are sensual, modern and gorgeous.

This one has got to be my favourite

Blogged everywhere but...

HOW CAN ONE NOT LOVE THIS!
