Moreover, it has a cool retractable antenna for V CAST, as well as full HTML internet browsing. It also has dual speakers, a 2.0 megapixel camera/camcorder, and is Bluetooth capable.

The Venus is another pretty little number with two screens with interactive touch navigation. It also has a music player, 2.0 megapixel camera, and a microSD. Like the Voyager, it is Bluetooth and V-Cast ready.The Shine is unique with a metallic finish, and is available in silver, red, and black. The screen is viewable from all sides, and has the 2.0 megapixel camera and Bluetooth capability.

These phones will be soon available on the market for the high-standard mobile fans- this models from LG are quite an innovation not only for their hi-tech, but also for their interesting design and functionality. As for a price, it seems that the Voyager will retail for about 300 dollars, while Venus and Shine will be around 200 dollars.

It is already known that Ferrari is working at a „top-secret” vehicle by the cars fans, a new GranTurismo model, which is to be presented in October at the Paris Motor Show, and even though it is classified as „secret” business, the profile magazines have already presented an idea of how the next Ferrari monster could look like or how it might just be. The very first rumors are saying that Ferrari will present a three-seated variant-which is very much to be doubted and was also officialy denied by Ferrari from the beginning.

In the second place, more plausible, rumors say that the model could be a coupe-cabriolet version with folding hard-top, to be powered by a V8 engine and bring out up to 450 horsepower. As Ferrari briefly mentioned so far, the upcoming 2+2 model will be the cheapest in the Ferrari line for the moment and it will have quite the same performances as the F430. From the design point of view all we know so far is that the new model will be 50cm shorter than the 612 Scaglietti.  For further details and keeping in touch with the automobile news, see the following: http://www.auto-power-girl.com/.

I have always loved watches- they are like a statement on the person wearing it; it really describes you as a personality so a watch can really tell much about a person. Here is a watch that U really like- it is a man’s watch, perfect for strong personalities who do not want to remain an unknown in the crowd. This watch is more than just a beautiful aquisition, but also a very interesting way to see what time it is. On the Vulcania watch, made by producer Fabrice Gonetyou, can see time in few different ways- for example the hours are seen on the wheel, and the minutes are on the circular dial. There is even a small window to display the day.

The most interesting and charming thing is that you can actually see the inner mechanism of the watch which is done with some very cool sapphire glass panels on the front, back, and even the sides. Also the edition of this jewerly is very limited- so far, only 11 of these beauties have been produced, so if you have the chance to get one, consider yourself a lucky one!

For the fashion addicts and for the ones that want to puff cigarettes out in style and be noticed by anyone around, here is the perfect little accesory: the Louis Vuitton cigarette lighter- it looks just like the very famous bag from the designer  inscriptioned with the large initials:”L” and “V”- for sure you have seen this bag many times in fashion shows or owned by VIPs even if you are not a fashion addict yourself.

So, do not wait anymore- go buy one of this and become a fashion icon yourself. The lighter can be easily refilled after it gets empty, so there is no space for worries so far.

You do not have to be 17 to decide to make a tattoo that represents you- tattoos are no longer just a extremist act done by extremists teenagers, but today they can really express a work of art.

Even though you may not live in London and you are not aware of the modern art that, the so- entitled artist-Barsky is doing, you may still appreciate this kind of “unsual” art. Here is very short summary: his identity is not known even now by common people, but the man seems to be a living legend among the ones that appreciate the graffiti art- there has been a long fight whether his drawings are art or not, but one thing is certain: his activity represents the present of the 21th century and he is very much appreciated worldwide.

Besides getting arrested very often, he got his signature on many important cities all around the planet on good money and now his work got really famous and his style quite unique (so beware if you see the Bansky signature!). He has painted streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world and managed to be arrested in many of them too.

However, now there is a very long-awaited collection of old and new pieces from London’s most famous graffiti artist distills the finest of the subversive’s conceptual work  available on the market, so if you call yourself, a non-conformist person, here is  the best  gift for your “art culture”.

At the very famous Barrett-Jackson auction this year, there was put on the scene even a car that actually can fly: building wings to a 2004 Panoz Esperante car will seem quite silly for most, but you should know that is sold at 54,000$ which is a higher price that the organizers expected. But how on earth did they do it? Well, it takes a professional in such things to come to such a result- meet Jesse James of West Coast Choppers and now you will understand.

Panoz Esperante took flight on an episode of Monster Garage and it stayed in the air for about 300 feet before landing safely on the ground again. The interior has been stripped to make space for a full roll cage, a propeller is mounted in the trunk, and the 36′ wings were manufactured by hand. It is quite weird what the owner will actually do with the car (for sure he can not replace the flight between Europe and U.S.A. with it!), but nevertheless we have to admit it is one-of-a-kind piece after all.
