IVERSON A CLIPPER?
THIS IS HURTING MY HEART TO SEE, IVERSON CAN’T BE GOIN TO A TEAM THAT NEVER COMES CLOSE TO THE PLAYOFFS. THIS GUY IS THE REASON THE LEAGUE LOOKS THE WAY IT DOES, HE MEANS MORE TO BASKETBALL THAN HOW THEY TREATING HIM (MY OPINION) Clippers in ‘very serious’ talks with Allen Iverson Gregory Shamus / Getty Images Free-agent guard Allen Iverson split his time between Denver and Detroit last season. The 34-year-old free-agent guard, the NBA’s MVP in 2001 but coming off a disappointing season, also has been pursued by Miami and Memphis this summer. By Lisa Dillman 5:19 PM PDT, July 13, 2009 Reporting from Las Vegas — Talks between the Clippers and free-agent guard Allen Iverson have been characterized as “very serious,” according a source close to Iverson who was not authorized to speak publicly about the negotiations.
BEOVISION
IF YOU GOT THE MONEY AND THE ROOM YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY THROW THIS IN THE CRIB 112,000 SCREEN WOW!!!!!!! The BeoVision 4 From Bang & Olufsen: Rapture on the “Small” Screen for $112,000 The New American Heritage dictionary defines the adjective “superlative” as: “Of the highest order, quality, or degree; superior to all others; 2. Excessive or exaggerated.” The third entry should read “The BeoVision 4.” The television from Bang & Olufsen presents these credentials: it spans 103 inches; the screen alone weighs 580 pounds, the floor-standing base adds another 600; when the BeoVision 4 isn’t being viewed the screen lowers itself to the floor via dual gas shocks and actuators, hiding the center speaker; sixteen years of research have gone into it; oh, and it costs $112,000.

OCEANS SHIT FOR LESS
Those new cuts may remind you of a certain suit maven of note, but Farah, who worked with Thom Browne designing Black Fleece, embraces the similarities. “There are lots of people that aspire to that look, but can’t afford it. Everyone should be introduced to classic suiting techniques.” And for under $500, suits with these details—grosgrain taping, mother-of-pearl buttons, and working buttonholes at the cuff—are a steal. (For even more value, some are sold as “four-pieces”: jacket, pants, and waistcoat with a tie made of a matching fabric.) The proportions are more forgiving than Browne’s, but still pretty forward. That appeals to this fashion editor and likely to other city dwellers, but will it sell in flyover country? Farah, a Michigan native, thinks so. “People are hungry for it,” he says. “Mad Men plays everywhere.”

GRAFF SUPERSTAR LADY’S WATCH
AS GUCCI MANE SAY STOOPED!!!!!!! Graff Superstar Diamonds Lady’s Watch There are diamond watches, and then there are diamond watches like this. Graff metaphorically knocks on the door of luxury with a resounding “bling bling!” arrival announcement. You simply don’t get too much more “diamond watch” than this timepiece figuratively held hostage by the precious stones. The case and bracelet (what little of it is actually metal!) is done in 18k white gold while a dizzying collection of 176 diamonds on the case and another 94 diamonds on the bracelet that crowd the design of the watch like a bunch of too many densely packed wealthy neighbors. The entire watch has 59 carats of pure glitzy glory. Likewise the timepiece is known as the Superstar, or GraffSuperstar. Whatever the title, this watch is is certainly a statement about the woman wearing it. However that statement might be “I enjoy rubies and emeralds in my breakfast cereal.” Sorry gentlemen, we will have to settle for a less diamond studded version. Stones on the Superstar watch are in trilliant and trapeze cuts that gives a very modern and angular shape that is also quite cohesive. Round cut stones make for good decor, but these more angular cuts allow for a more tiled look that enhances the “total diamond watch” style that Graff is going for. My instincts tell me that the movement inside the watch is Swiss quartz. The dial of the watch is no testament to legibility, but should be readable – a nice trapeze cut emerald is the only non-diamond stone of the bunch and serves as the 12 o’clock marker. Not the type of watch you want to wear publicly in certain parts of the world, cost to likely be tantamount to purchase of said parts of the world.
