Yesterday, I wrote about living in Paris. Today, I have my eyes on a luxury flat in London.

A rare blend of 19th Century splendour and 21st Century state of the art living. This magnificent first floor balcony flat has been meticulously refurbished and modernized to the very highest of standards. It is situated on the principal floor of a red brick converted building designed in the “Pont Street Dutch” style. The piece de la resistance is the original drawing room of the house which boasts a 12ft 8” / 3.875m decorated ceiling. The building lies on the southern side of Pont Street and is set back from the road behind an avenue of trees. It is a moment’s walk from Harrods, Sloane Street and to the south Sloane Square.

Price Upon Request.

Talk about traveling in style!

The Fly Emirates airline has just taken delivery of its first A380 built by Airbus. The A380 was nicknamed Superjumbo because of its size. The aircraft was delivered to Emirates in Hamburg, Germany, to great fanfare.

See, some people are still living an exotic life, full of excess.

A wealthy Arab sent his ‘Batman’ Lamborghini on a 6,500 mile round-trip to London for an oil change - at a cost of more than $46,000.

The $380,000 vehicle travelled on a scheduled flight from Qatar to Heathrow, and was flown back to the Middle East after the service.

The Murcielago LP640, a two-seater coupe, featured in the latest Batman film The Dark Knight.

Fittingly, the name of the vehicle means ‘bat’ in Spanish.

The car’s 6,500 mile journey sparked outrage from environmental groups, who said the owner - thought to be a Sheikh - had a ‘carbon crater’ rather than a carbon footprint.

According to reports, the black and gold car cost $7,104 to service at an approved dealer, plus around $40,000 to freight to Britain and back.

Jenny Evans from the campaign group Plane Stupid said: “This horrifies me. It is another example of how rich people exploit and pollute the planet because of their money.”

Friends of the Earth transport campaigner Richard Dyer said the trip was “ludicrous”.

“We urge the individual to get their car serviced closer to home,” he added.

However David Price of Lamborghini Club UK said the way the owner chose to have his car serviced was up to him.

“I’m not surprised. Thankfully the age of excess in some areas continues,” he said.

We are glad it continues too!

On MySpace, the social networking Web site, the rock band Panic at the Disco has 1.4 million friends. Coldplay has 467,000 friends. Paris Hilton has 178,000 friends and Madonna has 397,000.

As for Cartier, the luxury jeweler, it has more than 3,800 friends, including Sting, the band Good Charlotte and Lou Reed. And while the sincerity of these friendships is questionable — when was the last time that Eric Clapton sent Cartier a birthday card, or vice versa? — they send a message that Cartier cares about people who spend their time on MySpace.

Cartier, owned by Richemont of France, is one of the first luxury brands to hang out its shingle on a social networking site, for fairly obvious reasons. How do you market items of the you-can’t-afford-it-if-you-have-to-ask-the-price variety to a population that is heavily represented by people who make their money by baby-sitting and mowing lawns?

“To work in the luxury environment, it means being a step in advance sometimes,” Corinne Delattre, director of communications at Cartier, said. “We work with people moving fast. They use technology. They are ahead in their way of life.”

On its MySpace site (myspace.com/lovebycartier), Cartier has many friends who it hopes fit this description. Most of them are not famous, but the jeweler is counting on them nonetheless to spread the vibe through the social network and beyond.

The MySpace profile was set up to advertise jewelry in Cartier’s Love collection, but visitors can also sample music from artists like Lou Reed and Grand National, including several songs with the theme of love that were composed for Cartier. They can watch film clips with a romantic story line. And, of course, they can click on any of those friends’ pictures to visit their profiles.

The possibility of blending entertainment and marketing and spreading it through chain letter-style links has many marketers excited about social networking. But luxury brands, worried about the company they keep, have been reluctant to become involved with the likes of MySpace or Facebook. Cartier took the risk, Ms. Delattre said, because it was a “different way to talk to a young audience.”

This would stink!

Orange Beach police are looking for an $800,000 motor yacht that was last seen moored near the Intracoastal Waterway on Tuesday night, but was missing from its slip Wednesday morning.

The 55-foot vessel, named the Full Moon, was taken from its berth at a boat dealership, Gulf Coast Hatteras, at The Wharf sometime after 5 p.m. Tuesday, Lt. Steve Brown of the Orange Beach Police Department said Wednesday. The theft was discovered Wednesday morning, he said.

“We know for certain it was there between 5 and 7 yesterday and this morning it was gone,” Brown said. “We believe it was moved in the middle of the night, but can’t confirm that, yet.”

Brown said an object that may have been the boat was seen near the mooring site moving east late Tuesday night.

He said the vessel may have been untied and towed from the marina, but officials cannot confirm how the thief or thieves took the boat.

He said the case is under investigation by Orange Beach police and other agencies.

“At this point, it’s anybody’s guess,” he said. “We’ve notified the Coast Guard and everyone’s looking out for it.” …click here to read more
