bustdown of the day

I thought I would never find someone more gheto and more bustdown than Beyonce....that is until Kimora Lee started poping up all over the place! I am trying hard to find something that is not bustdown about her....hair, makeup, and outfit. Maybe she is really sweet....

My friend was looking for a camera...

As part of their batch-release of new Cybershots, Sony introduces the 8-megapixel DSC-T20 and DSC-T100, "destined to be the fashionista crowd's favorite party companion," at less than 0.5-inches thick. The T100 is a slight upgrade with its 3-inch LCD screen and 5x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens, while the T20 sports a 2.5-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens. Both come with three accessory options for high def photo viewing, all compatible with Sony's VMC-MHC1 HD component cable for an easy connection to an HDTV set or to Sony's CSS-HD1 high definition Cyber-shot Station that includes a bundled component cable and remote. They also offer Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization, up to ISO 3200, and a Bionz processing engine, initially used in Sony's Alpha DSLR system, that allows users to "keep snapping for the duration of the party" -- about 340 shots for the T20 and 380 shots for the T100, on a full charge. Keeping with this party-hardy theme, both also feature Sony's face detection technology, automatically adjusting white balance, flash, focus and exposure while identifying up to eight faces in the LCD frame. The color selection, of course, will "match your party gear" with coordinating cases sold separately. The T100 will ship in March for about $400 while the T20 will be available later in April for about $330.

Speakers for the guy with it all

I have a friend is always looking for the ultimate in home stereo speakers....though these might not be the best they are the most unusual...and they would look pretty damn good! O'hEocha Speakers look very futuristic, with a design that seems as though it may have been taken directly from a science fiction movie, and offer some of the best performance - three-dimensional soundstage performance, to be specific - that you can find. The 200-watt isobaric speakers are handcrafted in western Ireland from aircraft grade aluminum and a PVC/steel composite. Each has three main components. On top, each speaker has a 1-inch tweeter drive that "minimizes resonance transfer from midrange to treble." Below that, the units have 6.5-inch rotating drive units that allow you to aim the sound for optimum quality and sound experience. Each also has an 11-inch subwoofer that "generates thunderous bass" at frequencies as low as 25Hz. The entire design is geared towards minimizing any potential sound wave distortions and as an added precaution, the legs of each speaker taper to a pinpoint where they meet the floor to minimize resonance transfer. Price: $9,000.

Rockridge Sound VTS-384

The Apple hifi not good enough for you? How about the Bose Sound Dock? Still not satisfied? Well look no further! Rockridge Sound is the place to look for a luxury speak dock for your iPod. The Japanese manufacturer's VTS-384 has "full analog" sound from a pair of 2x2W (8ohm) speakers, sound which Rockridge says is the best type for amplifying compressed audio files of the kind iPods play. On top of performance, the good-looking system comes with a remote and both RCA and USB jacks, should you want to use a non-iPod music source. The VTS-384 is being rolled out in Japan this month at around $780.

DeGournay Wallpapers

Decals and other wall accents are all well and good for someone who wants to accessorize the rooms in their home, but for others, there is nothing better than the all-over design offered by wallpaper. DeGournay Wallpapers are all hand-painted, offering a level of both personalization and sophistication that is unmatched by other papers. In addition to the high-quality work, the designs are highly original, and while plainer, repeating patterns are available, DeGournay really shines through their scenescapes.

It is represents a partnership between Gianfranco Ferré and Dalumi. The sheer black top is covered with more than 900 diamonds weighing more than 300 carats. The outfit was modeled by singer Skin and also featured tuxedo pants and a silk cape.

Cuvée Louis XV Champagne

The 1995 vintage of Champagne has produced some of the most expensive and well-regarded sparklers around. Another cuvée joins the list. The Cuvée Louis XV from Champagne de Venoge will be officially launched in Tokyo at Foodex March 13-16. It has already been released worldwide since December and according to the company it has been selling well.

The name celebrates Louis XV because he issued a decree that allowed the wines of Champagne to be both shipped and marketed in bottle, rather than by barrel thereby trapping the sparkle of fermentation. The cork's cap is a replica of the 1728 "Louis d'Or" gold coin. The champagne, which is aged ten years, comes in a distinctive bottle that comes with a cut glass stopper so you can use it as a decanter when the Champagne is gone. The packaging alone is worth the price....oh and rule of thumb...if you have to ask the price, you can't afford it!
