Watch this “Funny-or-Die” produced, and none other than Ron Howard directed, video of Heidi Montag showing her kind of funny side. You really do have to hand it to her for finally trying to come off as uncharacteristically not pathetic.

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Classying it up at the Apple Tablet Event
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010When I think if the hordes of people that make their annual pilgrimage to the Apple unveiling events, I usually imagine the kids recently dropped off by their moms, killing time playing with magic cards and discussing the latest strategy in World of Warcraft. While watching the live announcement today on Gizmodo, as an admitted Mac geek myself, I saw this image of this cute girl sporting her Louis Vuitton Watercolor Speedy. I’m glad she took this opportunity to class up the place. Via Gizmodo
Gucci Gives Back
Saturday, November 28th, 2009
Love it when people and corporations do good with the resources they’ve got!
It looks like Frida Giannini- creative director for Gucci and author/ illustrator Michael Roberts have collaborated together in a campaign to benefit UNICEF. They’re putting together some original pieces designed by Giannini that will be exclusively sold in Gucci boutiques and on Gucci.com.
The facinating angle is that Giannini has commissioned Michael Roberts to actually write a sequel to his popular children’s book- Snowman in Paradise. This book’s called Snowman in Africa and don’t try Amazon for your copy- it will only be available in Gucci stores and on Gucci.com until December 31, 2009. Generous Gucci is donating every penny you spend on the book to UNICEF.
But the fun part for bag lovers is that Giannini’s incorporated Roberts’ illustrations on two Gucci Joy bags, some charms, and other small pieces. You’ll also find the illustrations on special gift cards. A full 25% of the retail price of each one of these exclusive pieces will be donated to UNICEF. Over the 5 year campaign- Gucci’s promised $7 million to UNICEF.
I love that!!! I mean talk about win- win- win! Buy an amazing bag, and help educate, supply healthcare and clean water to kids in Africa!!! Can’t wait to get shopping!

Leica M7 Film Camera – Hermes Edition
Friday, November 20th, 2009
As much as I love my digital Nikon D90, I cannot get over how unbelievably gorgeous this beautiful piece of luxury gadgetry is. This new Leica M7 Film Camera Hermes edition comes out this December, a perfect stocking stuffer if your normal stocking stuffers are around $14,000. If you don’t think it’s worth it, here’s what you’d be missing out on via Gizmodo.
This very special limited edition of the M7 35mm camera comes in silver chrome with calfskin leather accents in two colors, orange and the mysteriously named “etoupe”. The M7 includes a Leica SUMMILUX-M 35 mm f/1.4 ASPH. wide-angle lens, lens hood, LEICAVIT M winder and a matching carrying case. There aren’t too many changes from the original M7, just a few cosmetic things mostly so the original styling doesn’t clash with your new baby cow skin leather.

Congrats winner of the 2007 Louis Vuitton Best Humanoid Cup!
Sunday, September 30th, 2007 
Congrats Team Osaka! Winner of the above pictured, international 2007, “Best Humanoid Award” at the Annual RoboCup championships, held this year in Atlanta, Georgia.
Yeah, I know. What in the heck is Robo Cup? And why on earth is Louis Vuitton involved?
From the website:
RoboCup is an international research and education initiative. Its goal is to foster artificial intelligence and robotics research by providing a standard problem where a wide range of technologies can be examined and integrated.
The concept of soccer-playing robots was first introduced in 1993. Following a two-year feasibility study, in August 1995, an announcement was made on the introduction of the first international conferences and football games. In July 1997, the first official conference and games were held in Nagoya, Japan. Followed by Paris, Stockholm, Melbourne and Seattle where the annual events attracted many participants and spectators. The 6th RoboCup 2002 was held in Fukuoka, Japan in cooperation with Busan, Korea, while the 7th edition in 2003 took place in Padua, Italy. In 2004 in Lisbon, Portugal. 2005 in Osaka, Japan, 2006 in Bremen, Germany, and now in 2007 in Atlanta, USA. The events were covered by national and international media all over the world.
In plain English- RoboCup is basically World Cup soccer- but played entirely by humaniod robots!!!
Apparently, Louis Vuitton has presented “The Best Humanoid Award” every year since 2002. This award is going to pass around the world from hosting city to hosting city until 2050.
Why stop in 2050 you might ask? This is the most amazing part of all. The objective of Robocup, from the website:
By mid-21st century, a team of fully autonomous humanoid robot soccer players shall win the soccer game, comply with the official rule of the FIFA, against the winner of the most recent World Cup.
Wow! So Bots v. World Cup winning Humans and in 2050- the bots will win.
So why is Louis Vuitton involved?
The world leading fashion brand, Louis Vuitton has been providing the “Louis Vuitton Humanoid Cup” to the winner of the humanoid league as “Best Humanoid award” identifying the RoboCup’s philosophy with their brand concept, technology & innovation.
Hold onto that Boite!
Wednesday, September 26th, 2007While apparently 80’s superstar Grace Jones is having some trouble walking… she’s holding onto what’s important! Her Louis Vuitton Boite! Is that filled with cosmetics? Or jewelry? Or is she just using it as a purse? Inquiring minds want to know!
