The Rolls-Royce Centenary Collection

The glovebox of the Centenary Collection Rolls-Royce Phantom is inscribed with the words, “A graceful little goddess, the Spirit of Ecstasy, who has selected road travel as her supreme delight and alighted on the prow of a Rolls-Royce motor car to revel in the freshness of the air and the musical sound of her fluttering draperies.” These words were used by Charles Sykes, the designer of the Spirit of Ecstasy, the graceful statue that adorns every Rolls-Royce, to describe the Phantom in 1911. A hundred years later and they couldn’t be more apt.

The new Phantom was designed to celebrate the 100th birthday of this lithe goddess, and the line includes unique new color palettes, a clock and other special instruments set into the dash, and each comes with a replica hood, so that the owner can enjoy her even when she’s not being driven. Most Rolls-Royces are beautiful, but this one is truly a splendor to behold. Happy Birthday, indeed.

Gold To Go ATM Dispenses Gold

Created by German entrepreneur Thomas Giessler, this new take on the ATM is pretty lavishly luxurious.

Placed in the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi this Gold To Go ATM dispenses actual gold in the form of coins or bars up to 10 grams. Updated every ten minutes with the current gold conversion rates, this ultimate luxury ATM is everything you could ever ask for.

The ATM itself it made out of gold, which will more than likely make this ATM the most expensive in the world. With the rising prices of silver, I think next we will see Silver Coins in ATMs coming to Abu Dhabi shortly so be prepared to cash your 401ks.

The Ultimate Luxury Women’s Bathroom

Ever wondered what the Ultimate Luxury Women’s Bathroom would look like? Well, here she is now compliments of The Telegraph.

This luxury bathroom features 4,000 square feet & will be located in central London. You too can visit the proposed ladies room, for just a mere charge of about $10. Once you find the location, which is just opposite Selfridges & Oxford Street, there will be a bouncer-like person standing guard, ready to take your entrance fee.

Along with the 4,000 square feet, you can choose from 19 stalls as you walk on the all marble flooring while listening to relaxing music & “considerate lighting”. All that sounds great, but my husband wants to know where his London luxury men’s room is located? I pointed to a London photograph & indicated the street.
