Vanity Fair Celebrates Supermodel Comeback


Last month we reported that top fashion brands were once again bringing back the supermodels of the 1990s to star in new fall ad campaigns for the likes of Prada, Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton.

Vanity Fair has now picked up on the trend, with an eight page story in the new September issue and a photo shoot by Mario Testino (right) featuring Cindy Crawford, Stephanie Seymour, Christy Turlington, Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer and Naomi Campbell.


Though they're all obviously in great shape, Testino somehow makes Seymour look as if she's made entirely of plastic, while the gorgeous Schiffer looks more like a hausfrau than a supermodel. Perhaps the lighting and make-up is to blame. The shoot was originally rumored to be for the magazine's cover, but we can see why they went with Carla Bruni instead.

Swatch Makes A Watch Collection For James Bond's Villains



Omega may have sealed the deal for James Bond's watches but what about the villains. Enter Dr. Swatch, otherwise known as Nicolas G. Hayek. Swatch has created a new collection dedicated just to Bond's antagonists. The new collection will be out next month and will be a tribute to those Bond has sparred with in twenty-two James Bond films, from Dr. No to the forthcoming Quantum Of Solace. Featured villains will include Christopher Walken's Max Zorin, Gerd Froebe's Goldfinger, Lotte Lenya's Rosa Klebb and more. Sounds like fun, I'm just hoping my favorite, Richard Kiel (aka Jaws) has one.

Wooden Hotel Key Cards To Debut at DNC


We get them whenever we travel but hardly give a second thought to all those plastic keycards from hotels. Sustainable Cards has created wood hotel key cards and they will get their big debut at the Democratic National Convention. Around 70,000 biodegradable key cards will be used in Denver hotels.. The Sustainable Cards will be emblazoned with the Denver 2008 Host Committee logo and made from sustainably harvested wood. Wooden key cards have been used in Europe for years. While it wouldn't seem like such a small item would make a big difference, switching from plastic cards to biodegradable wood can reduce plastic waste equal to the volume of seven 777 airplanes in one year. The company also plans to offer wood gift cards in the future.

60K One man Helicopter

helicopter

Weighing in at just 75 kgs, the GEN H-4 is indeed the world’s smallest one-man helicopter. But, that’s not the most amazing thing about it. What’s really interesting about this flying machine is that it’s actually inspired by the sketch of a vertical flying machine created by Leo Da Vinci in 1493 which was discovered in the 19th century. The creator (or the recreator) of the GEN H-4 is a 75-year old Japanese gent named Gennai Yanagisawa, and though we certainly don’t know the approximation of his design to the Da Vinci sketch, we can certainly inform you that Mr. Yanagisawa’s machine is officially entered in the Guinness World Records as the world’s smallest helicopter that can carry a person. The GEN H-4 features a set of two rotors turning in opposite directions and the incredible machine can reach a maximum speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

Swarovsky High Chair

swarovsky high chair

So your little one was born with silver, gold and Swarovski studded spoons (gone are the days of only silver spoon) in his or her mouth, then you’ve gotto get a complementing luxurious high-chair when he actually starts using those spoons to feed. But when shopping for a high chair for your angel, you’d find it difficult to hunt for one that blends form with function as well as a bit of bling! So allow me to guide you to one of the special edition high chairs from ‘i can sit’. Once you realize that your darling can sit by self, place him on this exclusive high chair that is encrusted with Swarovski crystals. Hundreds of glittering crystals render style, glamour and richness to this Special Edition of icansit children’s chairs. And if that’s not enough, then the silver seat base will complete the look. Although many folks may feel that this kinda luxury isn’t essential for infant’s meal times, but I consider that if you can afford it buddy, no one can stop you from flaunting it!
