Bosendorfer Designer Pianos

Normal black grand pianos are just plain boring now, they're so yesterday's material. If only these designer pianos graced the concert halls around the world, it will definitely bring in audiences and performers alike, not only for concerts, but to be viewed and played on! Arranged below with my favourite being the Emperor, then again, they're all so beautifully designed!

Behold...

Swiss Army Sunglasses

Swiss Army Sunglasses. You can choose from over 240 different tools to put in it, including paintbrushes, comb, straw, scissors, earbuds, spanner, backscratcher, and a variety of knives. The biggest tool, of course, is you, who thinks not only that these aren't the fashion and design abomination that they are but also think they're worth the $400 price tag. If only the came with an attachment to restore your self-respect. I really couldn't help laughing out loud at the backscratcher that comes with it. I bet it was digitally added in. It certainly is one hideous looking pair of sunglasses, even if it is from Swiss Army! Gucci or Christian Dior anyone?

300 Spartans

I saw numerous trailers of Frank Miller's graphic novel movie adaptation and I must say, I'm really impressed with the costumes and visual effects of the movie, not to mention that it's bloody gory. For once, the visual effects in this movie do the cinematography and the landscaping, which is breath-taking. I've personally read Frank Miller's graphic novel, but the movie takes on a whole new dimension. It's almost like a film noir, think Sin City, the director Zack Synder, captures the essence of colour scheme and angles as shown in the graphic novel.

I still cannot believe that under all that make-up, costume and chains, the King of the Persians, Xerxes, (shown above) is actually actor Rodrigo Santoro of Charlie's Angel 2 fame, not to mention his brief appearance in Love Actually and Lost!

The movie opens on 9 March 2007, let's hope that we get that opening here on the same day! I really can't wait for it!
