24 Feb 2012 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Diamonds are one of the world’s great fascinations. They enchant, mesmerise and sparkle. Nothing quite says “piss off, I’m rich” like a big rock. Not all diamonds are equal either – pink diamonds are the rarest of them all, accounting for only 0,1% of all cut diamonds. A 12,76 carat diamond has just been found in Australia – getting married soon?

27-Storey Mumbai Mansion Left Empty Because Of Bad Karma?
20 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Extravagant is a word that comes to mind when you think about this residence. Not everyone has three helipads, six floors of parking and numerous floating gardens as features built into a home they don’t even live in. Approximately valued at $1 billion, and considered one of the most expensive private residences in the world, what’s wrong with it?

Malaysia Airlines Sticks By ‘No Babies In First Class’ Policy
30 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
There is nothing worse than a wailing infant. It has to rank up there with one of the most irritating sounds known to humans. And when you’re paying a cool R70 000 for a return ticket to travel in a first class suite aboard an Airbus A380, you certainly don’t need to hear a baby crying.

SINGAPORE INFINITY POOL – NOT LIKE YOUR UNCLE’S
04 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
“Marina Bay Sands” sounds like a fairly generic resort, right? It could be anywhere in the world. It’d be nice, but you know, when you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Wrong. Infinity pools are as cool as they sound. But a 150 meter long, gently curving arc of water perched on top of a […]

Well it really is all the rage now, isn’t it? Models without Photoshop and now models without makeup. In five years from now the big brands will be bowing down again to further pressure and will be using the ugliest girls they can find. You know, to show how “real” they are. Not that I […]

THE WESTCLIFF HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG
12 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
By now you will be well aware of the fact that I am seldom lured from my salubrious surroundings.

25 Feb 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Interesting vibe our friends at Louis Vuitton are going for. It’s basically the same as those bin liners you can get for your garbage. You know, the one’s with the draw string. Ja, those ones. So it’s like that, except it’s made by Louis Vuitton and costs R15,000. Now that obviously changes things.. Luxuo tells […]

ROMAN ABRAMOVICH YACHT “ECLIPSE” HAS LASER SHIELD FOR PAPARAZZI
22 Sep 2009 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
It’s all getting a bit much with regards to the “optional extras” one can add to one’s superyacht. Just ask Chelsea Football Club owner, Roman Abramovich, whose costs for his new boat, Eclipse, have doubled in the last three years to a cool £724m. That’s R8.7 billion. For a boat. I have no doubt it […]

It’s no secret that I am a petanque (or “boules”) champion in the Provencial town of Menerbes – extending perhaps as far as Lacoste and, dare I say, Avignon.
