World’s Most Expensive Written Manuscript

Giacomo Casanova, the world’s greatest lover, may have been Venetian, but it was the French government who, in early 2010, paid top dollar for the licentious libertine’s manuscript. Casanova wrote of his adventures from 1789 to his death in 1798, during which time he was employed as the librarian to Count Waldstein in the Castle of Dux, Bohemia. The manuscript, “Histoire de mi vie” or “History of my Life,” allegedly details his conquest over more than 100 women—at least one of which was a nun—and several men. Unfortunately, the general public has only seen censored and otherwise altered versions of the account. 

Most Expensive Chair

A chair belonging to late and great French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent has just made history as the world’s most expensive chair.The founder of the eponymous YSL luxury brand, Saint Laurent died in June of 2008 just a few days after marrying his partner and co-founder, Pierre Bergé. The expensive armchair had belonged to a Paris-based art dealer before finding its way into the hands of Saint Laurent and Bergé. Reportedly, that very same art dealer is the person who paid ten times the chair’s estimated value to procure it at a Christie’s auction. 

World's Most Expensive Dog

Have you wondered what is the World's Most Expensive Dog? A $600,000 dog that is. Meet the Tibetan Mastiff. This breed can measure up to three feet tall and weigh up to 180 pounds. And in China, these large dogs are all the rage. One couple said they forked over $600,000 for their mastiff, named Yangtze River Number Two, and transported him to their home via a fleet of Mercedes sedans. Their dog was worth the price, they said, because of his pure bloodline, which is extremely rare. After all the money spent, these dogs may not have the qualities to be a perfect pet. Though loyal to their owners, they can be vicious to strangers — and all that hair must shed like crazy. Plus, they're used to breathing at high altitudes, which is a problem for those living at sea-level locations in China. 

World’s Most Expensive Watches

Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin marked its 250th anniversary in 2005 with the world’s most complicated wrist watch—the Tour de l’Ile. The watch is so complicated that it required over 10,000 hours of research to create. Its name refers to one of the historical sites of the venerable company, located next to the current Maison Vacheron Constantin on the Quai de l’Ile. Only produced in a limited edition of seven pieces, this expensive watch is also the most complicated double-face watch. Tour de l’Ile is made with a totally original combination of horological complications (that is, features beyond the simple telling of the time of day) and astronomical indications composing a list of sixteen different points including a minute repeater, sunset time, perpetual calendar, second time zone, a tourbillion device, the equation of time and a representation of the night sky.

WWD@100 Issue: Remarkable Beauty Moments

WWD (Women’s Wear Daily), the media of record for the fashion, retail and beauty industries, celebrates 100 years of distinguished journalism with a special anniversary issue featuring the remarkable history of fashion and style as reported by WWD. The 321-page commemorative issue boasts a visually spectacular cover with a cavalcade of influential fashion luminaries and celebrities from the past century.

The centerpiece of the 100th Anniversary issue is “The 100 Remarkable Moments.” It is a wide-ranging WWD-look at the designers, celebrities and trends (from the sublime to the ridiculous), plus joys and a few real tragedies that have impacted the world and the world of fashion since 1910. From flappers to first ladies, Chanel to McQueen, and hip hop to couture, “The 100 Remarkable Moments” highlights the flashpoints that shaped WWD’s first century of style.

The collectible issue also has a variety of stories and special features that offer a look through WWD’s unblinking lens of fashion and popular culture.



“We Said It” – WWD’s John Fairchild coined the term “Fashion Victim,” and there are many more unforgettable zingers and witty bon mots.
“Life and Times” – A rich visual history of WWD from 1910 to 2010.
“Who Knew…” – A look back at a few of the paper’s more memorable – and surprising – stories.
“Almost, Almost Famous” – Early WWD interviews with some now-famous faces before they topped the pop-culture charts.
- “They Said It” – This is approximately 262 WWD quotes from some of the most exciting, intelligent and outrageous personalities of the past 100 years.



The WWD 100th Anniversary issue will be available from newsstands and bookstores nationwide on November, 1, 2010.

Other WWD 100th Anniversary Highlights:

WWD at 100 Anniversary Gala – WWD will kick up its heels to host an exclusive, invitation-only anniversary celebration at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City on Tuesday, November 2.

Online Designer Charity Auction - The WWD @ 100 party will also boast the live preview of the one-of-a-kind lots in a special online charity auction featuring 21 of the world’s top designers who have created celebratory items for WWD’s 100th Anniversary. The auction will benefit each designer’s charity of choice. The CharityBuzz-hosted auction will start on November 2, at 11:59 PM at WWD.com/auction, and continue through until November 18. The designer items include gowns by Armani Privé, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein Alberta Ferretti and Oscar de la Renta, a vintage Jeep Wagoneer from Tommy Hilfiger, a megamural hand-crafted by John Galliano and a Chanel ensemble designed by Karl Lagerfeld.

WWD: 100 Years/100 Designers - WWD is also celebrating the momentous anniversary with the November 1 publication of a new 312-page large-format book, featuring a foreword by WWD Executive Editor Bridget Foley. The book is filled with lavish illustrations, stunning photographs and recognizes 100 designers whose work helped define the past century. WWD 100 Years/100 Designers is published by Fairchild Books and available at Amazon.com.

The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.

My Name Necklace

"My name is more important than myself." said Pierre Cardin.

Our names are the signifiers of our identity and our "personal brand". That`s why ones name is excellent jewellery and celebrities love name necklaces.







I wanted a name necklace ever since I saw it on Carrie in Sex and the City and now I finally got mine.







I got the Carrie style necklace in sterling silver from www.MyNameNecklace.com and I`m super happy with it. They are fast, service is very friendly, free shipping worldwide and you can pay through PayPal or credit card. Great site - highly recommended.

I think a name necklace makes a great, personal christmas gift as well.
