Xenatec Maybach 57 S Coupe Ready to Order
HOLLY SHIT!!!!! Compared with the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, Maybach hasn’t exactly been a runaway success. But those few fans of the über-Benz brand may be familiar with a company by the name ofXenatec. This past May, Xenatec announced a partnership with Maybach to convert their four-door limousine into a two-door coupe, and the results have now been revealed. In order to carry out the conversion, Xenatec hired Fredrink Burchhardt, the same designer who penned the Maybach Exelero coupe. Together they chopped down the roof, replaced four doors with two, modified the bodywork, raked the windshields, and modified the interior. The same 612-horsepower twin-turbo V12 carries over from the top-spec Maybach, and buyers can specify a glass roof, 20 or 21-inch wheels and even armor plating. Only 100 examples will be made, each built to order and fetching 675,000 euros apiece.

I LIKE THESE LIL GUYS After appearing in the new “The Wisdom by Caleb” comic strip by James Jarvis, the figure is now brought to live with a vinyl figure. Caleb will come in two colorways, white t-shirt and black t-shirt, and should be available, sometime in November, from most good Amos retailers and the Amos online stores.

New Lichtenstein Monograph Marks Milan Exhibit
ONE OF MY FAVORITES An impressive new monograph on the late pop art star Roy Lichtenstein has just been published by Skira on the occasion of a major new exhibition of his work at the Milan Triennial, the most important show ever devoted to the artist in Italy. Roy Lichtenstein: Meditations on Art covers his entire artistic development through more than 250 paintings and sculptural works, a rich photographic section including unpublished material, and critical text. In keeping with the theme of the exhibition, the book examines the relationship between Lichtenstein, art history and its protagonists. There’s also a refreshing emphasis on some of his lesser-known work. The reproductions in this deluxe edition, priced at $100, are large-format and in full color. Thirteen years after the legendary artist’s death, his works and lexicon of symbols, subjects and themes continue to intrigue the art world while his work fetches millions of dollars at auction.
Chloe Wrapped Strap Boot
LADIES THESE KINDA HARD,I LOVE THE BELTS Chloe’s Wrapped Strap Boot ($1195) Belts are minimally wrapped around the shaft against warm caramel colored leather and perfectly accented with a rusty orange leather strap at the top. The toe is a rounded square, allowing for some comfort, but with a 4 1/2″ heel, this may not be the best for walking the streets all day. And unfortunately, there is no zipper (women need zippers for tall boots!) so these boots will be easier to put on for those with slender legs.
