La Fiat 500 più cara del mondo!
The Fiat 500 Pepita, it is Italy's iconic small car painted with the same 24k gold micro-powder paint.
The side walls of the tires are also brushed with gold and frame a set of aftermarket wheels from OZ; the dash has been covered with Australian mother of pearl inlay; the gear shift, hand brake and pedals are lined with Swarovski crystals and the designer floor mats are made out of cashmere.
The car costs about 60,000 euro, but they will be more than happy to customize one for you by upholstering the interior with the skin of crocodile, snake, shark, rayfish or lizard, as well as dumping the Swarovski crystal for one of 48 other precious stones.

Only 3 to Go!
Have you guys noticed that we are 3 vists away from 2000? ;))
I've been checking a bit "ad-hoc" for the most popular posts and the two who repeat the most are:
"Hairy Portuguese Women"
and
"Our latest addiction: raclettes!"

On the Waterfront, With Style
Overshadowed by larger, wealthier and more flashy European countries with world-renowned design specialties — Italian lighting, Scandinavian furniture, French fashion — Portugal has long hid on the Continent's margin both geographically and creatively.
For years, the best-known cultural contributions from this small seafaring nation were those stewed up in cauldrons from humble materials like squid and cod.
But that is changing, and no place embodies Portugal's emergence as a serious design destination better than the waterside Santos quarter of Lisbon.
The splashiest evidence is the Boavista site, where Norman Foster is designing a futuristic tower and commercial complex that will be filled with “galleries, studios, showrooms, exhibitions, performances, cinema, auditorium, cafes, shops, bars and restaurants,” in the words of its press materials. The goal is to create a project that “promotes the worlds of design and the arts.”

MIMOA
MIMOA is an on-line contemporary architecture guide. It’s a geo-referenced database with an inventory of relevant architecture objects across Europe. Done in collaboration with A10 magazine and supported by the Dutch government, MIMOA has several particularities that make success highly expectable.
The database is open and collaborative. Everyone can participate adding projects (with description and images), and inscribing them on the interactive map – an editing team confirms the validity of the added information.
With MIMOA it’s easy to gather that data; project details always include exact address, visiting hours and info on the best public transport access.
"Ratatouille" had Best Picture Pedigree
Among the tales of depravity and violence that dominate this year's Academy Awards race sits the bright and shining "Ratatouille." A rat never seemed so sanitized.
The Pixar film landed five Oscar nominations and was ranked by many critics as one of the year's best, yet was never a serious contender for best picture. Instead, it was relegated to the relatively new category of best animated feature, which the academy began dolling out in 2002.

Directed by Brad Bird, "Ratatouille" has garnered an aggregate score of 96 on Metacritic.com, ranking it above "Pulp Fiction"
