Tacky Luxury.........Splurges Gone Wrong

You all know I love to inform you of things that are over the top and completely retarded....like the one thousand dollar ice cream sundae..........well today I have some real doozies.....Thanks to Wallet pop......... 

Dead Bird Shoes

Care to strut around with some real dead animals on your feet? The Dovima shoe features rose pink-dyed taxidermy birds perched delicately on each toe. Each stuffed bird also has a crystal-encrusted head and is accented by 24 ct gold-coated mesh, silk, ribbons, and crocodile-skin rosettes. Each pair comes with special protective crocodile or snakeskin platforms that attach before you wear them to keep the shoes from ever touching the ground. All for just $43,000 and three months of waiting after you order.

OR

A Purse Worth Nearly $2 Million

This diamond and platinum handbag is festooned with over 2,000 diamonds, and valued at almost $2 million. Designed by Ginza Tanaka, the bag features a diamond shoulder strap that can be removed and worn as a necklace, plus the large (8ct) pear-shaped diamond decorating the front of the bag can be removed and worn as a brooch.

 

Diamond iPhone

Phone customizer extraordinaire Peter Aloisson is at it again, creating a new most expensive phone. We've seen diamond iPhones before but this one is worth 1.79 million Euros (around $2.45 million). The phone doesn't just feature a generous sprinkling of brilliant cut diamonds around the edges, it also features the King's button, a home button with a 6.6 carat diamond. The diamonds are set in white, yellow and rose gold. For those in need of serious bling you can also get diamond headphone covers for your earbuds.

Who Wins the Prize???

Let's talk annoying people today.........here are a few that are especially irritating at the moment.....

Dr. Phil and the "Octo mom".....how bad do you want to clunk their heads together??  He needs his show to go off the air and she needs to have her kids taken away and have her sterilzed!!!  

Michael Jackson....he is not so much irritating as he is pathetic...I actually feel bad for him.....but come on.....do we really need a farewell concert tour........ 

And of course Bernie Madoff......... Is it only me that hopes his wife doesn't end up with a cent and all their money goes to his victims?

Put a cork in it: Ryanair's discourteous CEO, Michael O'Leary, stood up during a press conference in Dublin Thursday and confirmed that yes, indeed, he's going to start charging passengers when they need to go to the bathroom.

The so-called "wee fee" is no longer under consideration; it's in development. O'Leary has asked Boeing to design toilets that won't work unless you swipe a credit card first. So not only will you have to pay to pee, you'll have to do it on credit.

"Eventually it's going to happen. It's just we can't do it at the moment because we don't have a mechanism for charging you," said the Irish sadist.

Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, confirmed in a press conference in Dublin Thursday that the airline is going to start charging passengers when they need to go to the bathroom

(Note: Please disable your pop-up blocker)

Last week, O'Leary set off an uproar by suggesting his airline would install "a coin slot on the toilet door," but company foot soldiers quickly followed him with a broom, cleaning up after him the way they do with the elephants at the circus. Pay lavatories are not coming in the near future, assured damage-controlling Ryanair PR flacks in a soothing voice.

Scratch that. They definitely are, only not paid by the tinkle of coins, because that would be too tricky to design. Here's how O'Leary calculates it: "Frankly, if we think 20% of our passengers in a year would use the facility, if they paid a pound per passenger, it would raise about 15 million quid and would help us to pass on £15m worth of fare savings to the traveling public."

Up until now, Ryanair has been Europe's most profitable airline, something it accomplished by pricing flights insanely low and then piling on the added fees, from massive luggage charges to a hit even for carrying on your airport purchases. But if this new fee comes on board, will passengers revolt? There are some heartless cash-heads at the Harvard Business School who admire the airline's aplomb, but I wouldn't say those guys are in sync withe the current zeitgeist.

A lot of Ryanair's flights are relatively short jaunts like Dublin to Edinburgh or Gatwick to Barcelona. In a place the size of America, though, many flights are so long that "holding it" for will take on new heights of discomfort that most Europeans won't have to endure. And it's not like you can sneak into a nearby pub to relieve yourself, as our sister site WalletPop U.K. points out as part of its own Ryanair coverage.

Federal law requires toilets in the workplace--it's a bodily necessity, like air and water. Some cities, too, have laws on the books mandating free public toilets for stores of a certain capacity, so it's uncertain how pay-to-pee flights would work out here on both the social and legal levels.

Who knows? Perhaps the introduction of a charge like this could finally get American lawmakers off their butts, so to speak, so they craft some national guidelines about where free, public facilities must be provided.

My Bad Fortune!!!!

Well....here is a silly story for you..........Last month I decided to try a new beauty salon that my girlfriend goes to, but it is 40 miles away from my home in an adorable, small town called Linwood.  My first appointment with the new stylist was at 1000am and I was in a good mood....excited....looking forward to getting beautified and then having lunch with my girlfriend Marie.....

At 950am I was about 3 blocks from the hair salon when I see a police "safety check point" up ahead......I thought to myself......I have my seatbelt on...no problem....well...when I got to the actual check point...the policeman stood in front of my car and told me to stop......'Miss.....you have an expired inspection sticker"....you could have knocked me over with a feather.....I had no idea and totally forgot about inspection time that should have been in December........I said to the officer  "can I come back....I am late for a hair appointment"........he was acting like a dick and said "no........you have to go get inspected right now".....they had a freaking mobile inspection station right in a bank parking lot.

So it took 1/2 hour to have all this done....I was late at a new salon with a new stylist.....I got a 130.00 ticket and had to deal with those inspection jack asses that were taking really long and asked me why I looked mad......I told them """"you are being slow and I have gray roots....I need to go get my hair done...could you please hurry this along"""""........they went slower on purpose...and when I got home that afternoon...I realized the jerks forgot to give me my registration back.....so I had to go to the DMV (which I really dislike) to get a new one........

Let us fast forward to yesterday..... ...I went to that salon again for the monthly root touch up.....all went well......no safety check points....hair looked nice....had a lovely lunch with Marie....70 degree day......I was calmly driving home in the cute little town of Linwood again...all was right with the world.....my cell phone rings...it was my 12 year old daughter so I quickly answered it.....I was on the phone not even 30 seconds when I see a policeman in the street...... ....ANOTHER FREAKING CHECK POINT....this time they were trying to catch people on their cell phones while driving.....this dude must have seen the  30 seconds I was on the phone 6 blocks away!!!!  He did the drill........stood in front of my car with his arm and hand out to "STOP"....he directed me into a parking lot where I was issued ANOTHER ticket for talking on my cell!!!!!! 

Can you believe it??  I have not had a ticket in 25 years and now I have 2 in a month, from the same town while both times going to and from the new hair salon!!!!!
