Upgrade your bunny slippers in Spring/Summer 2015

Buscemi, the luxury brand most often associated with expensive hightop sneakers, will soon be the luxury brand associated with expensive slippers, once the Jon Buscemi leather slip-on sandals drop off the foot and onto store floors. Given the slipper style, it’s probably safe to guess that we won’t be seeing these until the warmer months […]

UK's supercar gets the classic blue-and-orange treatment

Designed after its legendary predecessor the McClaren F1 from decades ago — a car still noteworthy as a supervehicle ahead of its time — the McClaren P1 already stood on its own in dopeness.

Take this little carbon fiber canoe-ski into flight mode, which cuts water resistance […]


The 2015 Mercedes-Benz S600 “Guard” Edition is an armored luxury sedan concentrating on safety and comfort, boasting armored steel in the body cavities and polycarbonate coating with special laminate on all glass windows. Clearly, the S-Guard is built for those who might have a reason to worry about their protection — or who live in dangerous locales. […]


Houston, Texas-based modifiers of obscene horsepower, Hennessey, fill their corporate coffers supercharging Corvette and Cadillac engines to the point of absurdity. But they are best known for their Bugatti-killing Venom hypercar. Hennessey and Bugatti, in fact, have gone back to the lab many times in the past 10 years to squeeze out a bit more power […]

A nuclearized city terrorizer you can cuddle

So the latest spin on Godzilla may not quite be worth its weight in gold (although it is a pretty penny, for sure), but it is down for the teddy-cuddle in the face of even more threatening monsters under the bed. Steiff, makers of toys since 1902 has now teamed up with Godzilla, maker of  menace […]
