2009-08-11T01:06:00.000-07:00

It was the death of fallen Michael Jackson which brought him back into limelight again and in order to cash on it a 1984 portrait by Andy Warhol of the late singer Michael Jackson is being put for auction at New York.

This portrait was commissioned by TIME Magazine as a mark of celebration for the record sales of Michael Jackson’s album Thriller. This 30 x 26 inches portrait of Michael Jackson will be auctioned off in New York with the starting bidding price at £500,000.

I think it will find a lot of takers and the bidding price would definitely zoom past millions of dollars when it goes under the hammer.

EC135 helicopter: Luxury in the middle of the air

2009-05-05T00:35:00.000-07:00

I think after seeing this helicopter I have dropped my idea of buying a Lamborghini. This designer beast which you visualize above was created as a result of collaboration between Eurocopter and Hermès.

Dubbed as the EC135 helicopter, it is priced at $6 million and can be termed as a fusion between design and technology. Every care has been taken to design this helicopter for the comforts of the rich and famous. The EC135 helicopter includes a spacious cabin where four people can sit easily with large storage compartment, flat floors and lateral sliding doors.

Hermes Interiors redesigned the entire cabin floor to ceiling surface which have been covered in Toile H being used since the 1920s. If you sit in the cabin you could appreciate its comfort and design as the seats and banquette have been handcrafted for extra comfort and been upholstered in calf leather which is highly resistant and naturally grained.

A sliding glass partition has been used to partition cockpit and passenger compartment which would ensure privacy. Even the overhead Air Conditioning ducts have been center aligned across the ceiling which offers a cleaner and symmetrical visual. Even the landing gear has been redesigned for elegant access to the cabin.

So if you are interested then this EC135 helicopter can be all yours for just $6 million!!
