This is the worlds most expensive TV and has the staggering price tag of $130,000 dollars. This YALOS Diamond LCD TV is well worth its price tag due to all of its brilliant features. The features include 160 diamonds that total up to at least 20 karats, extraordinary brightness, a great contrast ratio, a great response, and unbelievable pixel resolution. Oh yeah I forgot, this thing also happens to be plated in white gold.

Worlds Most Expensive Phone

GoldVish Luxury Communications of Geneva sold this phone for the huge price of 1.3 million dollars in 2006. This phone, nicknamed Le Million, is covered with 18 karat gold surrounded by 1,800 diamonds with a total of more than 120 karats. This one of a kind phone was purchased by a Russian man that gave it as a gift. That is one gift that I know wasn't returned.

Worlds Most Expensive Perfume

This perfume is called Imperial Majesty and is the most expensive bottled perfume in the world. This bottle sells at the whopping price of $215,000 dollars and must smell, oh so good. Imperial Majesty is actually a limited edition signature scent of Clive Christian and sells for $2,150 dollars an ounce. In this case the bottle costs so much because a British designer poured 16 ounces of it into a crystal bottle covered with diamonds and an 18-carrot gold collar. This is one blinged out perfume bottle.

Worlds Most Expensive Gameboy

This out-of-date toy is the world's most expensive Gameboy with a staggering price tag of $25,000 dollars. This limited edition Gameboy was created by Aspreys of London and is made out of 18 karat gold with a display screen surrounded with diamonds. I wonder what lucky kid got this toy from Santa?

Worlds Most Expensive Pen

This is the world's most expensive pen and was designed by Caran d'Ache in 1999. He designed this very extravagant and blinged out pen to show respect for a famous architect named Antoni Gaude who passed away in 1926. This pen, known as La Modernista Diamonds Fountain Pen, was sold to a Swiss company for a cool $265,000 dollars. The pen contains solid silver parts, a 18-karat gold tip, and is enveloped in 5,072 specially cut diamonds. This pen also contains 96 rubies which form an emblem on the pens cap top.

Worlds Most Expensive Cup of Tea

This is actually the world's most expensive tea bag and has the gigantic price of $13,941 dollars. This special tea bag was created by PG Tips Tea Company to celebrate their 75th anniversary. It took three months to make and was entirely hand crafted with over 280 diamonds. I can't wait to see how they celebrate their 100th anniversary.

Worlds Most Expensive Water

This is Kona Nigari water and is the world's most expensive water at $16.75 dollars an ounce. This water is packed with minerals and comes from the deep seas near Hawaii. The water has first been desalted of course. This water is not just meant to be drunk. You are instead supposed to dillute it with more regular water. This water is specially known for the healthy vitamins and minerals that come in each bottle.

Worlds Most Expensive Christmas Tree

This is the World's Most Expensive Christmas Tree and valued at over half a million dollars. This tree is made from 5 pounds of 18 karat gold, is decorated with round briolette diamonds, and has a platinum star with a 4.54 karat diamond on top. This tree will be sold at an auction and all of the proceedings will go to the American Cancer Society. I wonder what kind of gifts Santa would leave under this tree?

Worlds Most Expensive Fishing Lure

That's right, this is an iced-out fishing lure that is valued at 1 Million Dollars. This $1,000,000 fishing lure consists of three pounds of Platinum, Gold, Diamonds, and Rubies. This lure took months to create and was totally hand crafted. I am not sure who owns this lure now, but I hope he is bringing in some big fish.

Worlds Most Expensive Skull

I know you're probably sitting in your chair googly-eyed and with your mouth hanging open, but trust me this skull is real. This 90 Million Dollar skull was created by the notorious artist Damien Hirst. This one-of-a-kind piece of art is titled “For the Love of God” and is the most costly piece of contemporary art ever made. This piece is encrusted with over 8,601 diamonds and has a total of 1,106.18 carats. It weighs 63 pounds and is made from a real skull and teeth. This is my new favorite piece of art and Damien is my new favorite artist. Damien is not planning to sell this piece of art and created it with his own bank account. Now all he has to do is stick this skull on top of a cane and become the ultimate Puff Daddy.

Joseph was a painter. Ingrid was a sculptor. Peter was a photographer, his girlfriend a designer. The terrible dancer in the middle of the floor with the curly ponytail and Euro-tight suit was an "odour artist". He painted with crushed strawberries and, er, less pleasant-smelling natural materials. Every single person I met in Antwerp was an artist.

Rags to riches

Famed for being the world's diamond capital, with four of the 22 existing diamond exchanges sitting in its diamond district, pop stars and princesses still flock to Antwerp to shop for precious gems. But the city has proven it has more to offer than priceless jewels. Antwerp's tradition of inspiring and retaining its home-grown artists dates back to Rubens and Van Dyck, who were lured back to their hometown after exploring Italy's grandiose architecture and ancient art tradition. The Eighties saw the rise of the Antwerp Six (Ann Demeulemeester, Dirk Bikkembergs, Dries Van Noten, Dirk Van Saene, Walter Van Beirendonck and Marina Yee), who helped make the city's Royal Academy of Fine Arts fashion department world famous.

But it's not all glitz and gloss in Antwerp. Like its Benelux neighbor in Holland, it has a fully operational red-light district, complete with ladies of the night (and day, if you're up for it) behind windows advertising their wares and services. In the tradition of Paris' Pigalle and London's Soho districts, where there's sex on sale there's likely to be a trend-setting cackle of media-crats not too far behind. Style gurus and slaves have already set up shop in Antwerp's bawdier streets and it's worth a trip just north of the center to check out Café d'Anvers and Phil Collins - two of the city's places to be seen - even if you're not looking to purchase a romp.

Flandy is dandy

There's no shortage of trendy establishments in Antwerp: over 4000 nightspots for a city of some 450,000 inhabitants. Like Zürich, the city's former industrial quarter in Het Eilandje - the area around the old port - is getting a face lift. Dozens of designer bars and fusion eateries are popping up along the bank of the Scheldt River and the abandoned warehouses now house anything from small creative consultancies to empty beer bottles and bare dj tables, as many of these are used as venues for exclusive unsanctioned parties.

Het Zuid, just south of the center, is the liveliest district for hip drinking spots, especially if you're looking to bag a creative type. The Museum voor Hedendaagse Kunst van Antwerpen (Museum for Contemporary Arts of Antwerp) or MUKHA is nearby, as is the Museum voor Fotographie (Photography Museum), increasing your chances of stumbling into the arms of a frustrated young art student over the course of the evening.

But let's face it. Anyone going to Antwerp is likely to have just one thing in mind. As much as we all appreciate good food and raw talent, there's nothing like a strong dose of retail therapy to make a holiday worthwhile. Shopping in Antwerp is an experience. The high-street shops are restricted to the high street so there's no danger of a Gap lurking around every corner. The Antwerp Six are easy to find, as are other big names, but the lesser-known local designers and upmarket fringe shops might pique your curiosity more.

The same goes for interiors shops with antique and ethnic-influenced gallery-style stores littered around Kloosterstraat. In association with Mode 2001, a series of Fashion Walks were conceived to allow tourists to combine the city's important fashion landmarks with that crucial shopping spree, further blurring the lines between fashion and art in Antwerp.

Lines duly blurred, not to mention eyesight after a few Belgian whites, an Antwerp break is the grown-up alternative to a weekend in Amsterdam. Refined, yet naughty and, above all, fiercely cutting edge.
