Official Date and location to be announced.

On September 20th, 2011 Luxboston.com hosted it’s second  luxury event in Boston this time with the Lenox Hotel and Aston Martin of New England.

At the Lenox hotel’s restaurant City Table, the invited guest got a chance to experience what a true upscale luxury event should be. With Stoli Elit vodka and Sterling Vineyards wine brand as the two alcohol sponsors together with City table serving up an array of cocktails & hors d’ oeuvres the night could not go wrong!

The latest in Aston Martin car models laced the street and welcomed the guest as they paused to take red carpet style snap shots in front of the hotels entrance.

“The city of Boston needs more events like this” says Kevin Payne, Boston native and founder of LuxBoston.com. “Boston has so much potential but you don’t see many events focusing specifically on luxury products and services,  but i intend to change that!”

Kevin’s goal is to host more private upscale b2b and b2c events not only in Boston but Manhattan, Miami, Beverly Hills, Aspen, and internationally. Planned for next spring will be Boston’s first Luxury Summit and Expo. The purpose of these events are to feature the latest in luxury products and services to a invite only crowd of Boston’s taste makers, product placement specialists and luxury connoisseurs along with industry executives. The summit will bring in guest speakers on luxury and how Boston based brands can work together to create better customer experiences and enhance the brands.

Also present at the event was Bruce Ledoux founder of Guardian Angel Motorsports along with wife Linda. Guardian Angel Motorsports is a small group of like minded racers that have raised money and awareness for children’s charities.

“We harness the power and excitement of motorsports to raise awareness for child-related causes. In the past two years combined we’ve donated over $150,000 to children’s charities. That amount wasn’t just raised—it was donated. Which we’re very proud of. But we want to give much much more.  We realize that to give more, we need to grow more. ” Luxboston.com contacted Guardian Angel Motorsports for cross promotion and to ultimately help them grow and raise money for children in need.”

“Partnering with Lux for our evening From Boston with Love proved to be affinity marketing at its best! Kevin and his team amassed a conglomerate of luxury brands, products, and services for an event that was second to none. The Aston Martin team, coupled with Lux Limo, Genius Interactive Advertising Agency, our own City Table and the Lenox brand became the perfect storm for an event of this nature.

Oh Rihanna your a bad bad girl!
Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ tour is causing some hearts to quicken pace. After taking a spill on stage, Riri’s back on her feet and looking spicy!

At Los Angeles’ Staples Center, she wowed the crowd in a scandalously sexy get-up. In a bejeweled bikini, fishnets and fluorescent pink heels she delivered one memorable show– the R&B singer danced on top of cars with ladies in bodysuits and bright, yellow men.
Don’t worry we even provided a video for your viewing pleasure, check it out down below after the jump!

Forbes magazine has increased Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth by another $6 billion.

That makes Zuckerberg the third richest guy in technology. He does trail behind Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Oracle’s Larry Ellision.

If we are really comparing it also means that he is richer than Steve Jobs of Apple and Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin. This new valuation was on the basis of investment made by GSV Capital. They bought 225,000 shares of Facebook at a price of $29.28 per share. Since that news broke out, GSV stock has gone up by 40%. As of today Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth was set at $18 billion.

Of course, this whole fortune is on paper only and the real value of Facebook will be known only after it goes public. Still, great going Zuckerberg!

I don’t know about you but im no hater. I love when 50 cent or Money Mayweather aka Floyd Mayweather shows off all that cash. It makes me try even harder to achieve my goals. If they can do it so can i!!

Watch this video as 50 Cent stacks cash in the trunk of his Lamborghini!!

Funny!!

I once wanted to wow the Boston scene and do something different for an Envyme.tv launch event. I needed to do something that really has never been done in this conservative city before. People asked me “Kevin how did you get Lamborghini to show up at your event’?”  I not only got Lamborghini Boston to show up but also a handful of  sponsors like Skyy Vodka and Lamborghini owners to show up with their Lambos!

That night we packed Mantra and i felt like a celebrity. It was a great feeling!

So how did i do it? Well I put on my best suit, drove to the dealership with one of my female models and simply asked them to come. I told them about what i wanted to accomplish and how they would benefit from it, including the demographics and people that i was inviting.

A few years later, same city different game. This time it was for my other company LuxBoston.com. I wanted to do another launch event but with Aston Martin  (my favorite automobile manufacturer) . How did i do it? Again i went up to the dealership this time with my beautiful girlfriend and told them about the event and simply asked them to host it! It was not easy and i had to prove myself but i pulled it off!  It turned out to be a very cool event at Mars Made with food and drinks provided by Rocca!

Mars Made Aston MArtin and LuxBoston.com Event

The  next event for LuxBoston.com will be around April of 2011 at State Room. Lets see who i can get to sponsor this high end event!! Its going to be a challenge but im up for it!

Show confidence in yourself ,  just ask!!!  These people can read a fake a mile away so if your not passionate do yourself a favor and stay home.

We hear that Bombardier is aiming to take Gulfstream’s place as king of the skies as the worlds most expensive business jet. They are set to launch two new models. The Global 7000 and 8000, which will cost around $65 million apiece, will beat the high-speed range of the $58.5 million Gulfstream G650.

New Bombardier Jets

They are going to have to make a song called “Like a Global 8″ in replace of ‘Like a G6 from Far east movement lol. Both new private jets will have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90; the 7000 will have a range of 7,300 nmi at Mach 0.85, while the 8000′s range will top out at 7,900 nmi at Mach 0.85. Both will borrow elements from the existing Global Express XRS and 5000.

Besides being the world’s most expensive private jets, these fuel efficient models will also steal some other titles. The 7000 is all set to have the largest cabin in business aviation while the 8,000 will brag of the longest range.

The new models with luxury fittings and amenities are designed to cater to the high flyer’s in India, Asia and UAE. The 7000 has a capacity to hold 10 passengers while the 8000 can accommodate 8 passengers. However, Gulfstream need not burst into a sweat yet as the first of these models is expected to be ready for delivery only by 2016.

Non other than Alexander Amosu can pull off such an amazing ipad. Its Gold and its 24 Carat!!!

Amosu Couture offers these in many other versions as well including platinum, Diamond encrusted and ever Swarovski studded.

Price for this beauty is $1,500 but you can also send in your iPad and have it gold plated for $520.

The well known hotel company Ritz Carlton wants a go at the tallest hotel in the world. The city is which they plan to erect the massive hotel is non other than Hong Kong, the jewel of China!

Ritz Carlton Hong Kong

The hotel will occupy the top stories (102 to 118) of the International Commerce Center , Kowloon. A plush hotel, it will boast of 312 rooms including a lavish 365sqm Ritz-Carlton Suite. Besides the guest rooms, the hotel is said to feature six dining venues and an alfresco rooftop bar. Like every luxury hotel this hotel too hopes to paper its guests with an 860sm spa christened the ESPA, a fully equipped fitness center and an indoor pool on the 118th floor. Offering scenic views of the Victoria Harbor and Hong Kong Island, this hotel will truly be the place to be when it is ready.

Do you like what this Dubai resident did to an already super hot Mercedes SL65? It seemed that he was not satisfied with what i though was in already perfect auto! He asked non other than Brabus to fine tune his SL65 Black Series. This personalized, one-off Black Series is called the Vanish and features a modest black matte finish.

When thinking of the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, it’s only natural to think of a model that exemplifies the tuning prowess of AMG.  Straight from the factory it’s capable of hitting 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and 124 mph in 11.0 seconds before achieving a top speed of an electronically limited 198.8 mph.  For most, that’s plenty of power; but for an unknown Middle Eastern SL65 AMG Black Series owner, it was just the starting point.

The end result is a said bump in power of some 130 hp – taking the SL65 Black’s standard 670 hp to the 800 hp mark.  Larger turbos, a new gearbox, larger brake pads and an upgraded exhaust system are attributed to making it all possible. As for the result of the power boost, BRABUS hasn’t quoted specifics, but it likely shaves a few tenths off the acceleration times while removing the speed limiter likely bumps top speed well into the 200+ mph range.

From these images it seems like Karl Lagerfeld has already begun shooting the 2011 Pirelli Calender.

Models Like Isabeli Fontana, Heidi Mount, 2009’s top model Natasha Poly and Magdalena Frackowiak in the calendar.

“I’ll do it in my studio in Paris. It’s too obvious to have a beach setting”, was Karl’s comment backstage at his show in Paris.

Check out the photos from the 2010 edition. I can’t wait to see what Karl can stir up!!

It was only a matter of time before someone dropped the ice bomb on one of Apple’s MacBook Air Laptops and im glad they did. Designed by non other than Stuart Hughes, this MacBook Air Surpreme Ice Edition is much heavier in weight as it in price. Well you have to pay for the bling! Two and a half kilograms of Platinum sit on top of the front of this baby. The Famous Apple logo is highlighted with 25.5 cts of ‘I’F’ Flawless 53 diamonds. The rest of the body is balanced off with a sophisticated polished Aluminum finish. Priced at around $210,000, this amazing Macbook will be available in a limited edition of only ten.

Or you can stick with the bling and less the cash with the CrystalRoc made of Swarovski crystals. Decked with more than 6000 crystals, it is the first of its kind. For ($2,250) you can buy a 32 GB version directly from CrystalRoc by April-end. For 1/10th of the price of a diamond-studded iPad, you can still flaunt a glittery iPad.

Techart says that they will be showing off their new modified 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show as well as a new Porsche Concept Car.
The first beautiful brute is a new version of the GTStreet R Model. This is based on the 2010 911 Turbo, the GTStreet R is about serious performance. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six produces 660 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque, and Techart claims a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds as well as a top speed of 214 mph. Providing the looks to go with the power is an aggressive aerodynamic kit that includes an adjustable rear spoiler and carbon fiber rear diffuser and front splitter.

The next vehicle is the concept with a design based on the Porsche Panamera. With 550 HP and a twin Turbo V8, Im liking the concept already (wait till you see the images) and it sounds like it will kick ass. The exterior features a full body kit as well as 22-inch forged wheels. The inside is upholstered in a striking white and cocoa leather complimented by phosphor green stitching. Techart calls it “unusual personalization.”

Launched less than two weeks ago LUXBOSTON has officially become Boston’s premiere luxury guide and listings. Boston Massachusetts is one of the oldest cities in America. It was founded as a town back in 1630. Since then, it has grown from being a hub of social and political importance into being one of the most cultural and economic cities in New England.

Surrounded by hospitals and universities, Boston is rich in culture and education, from museums celebrating Boston’s rich history to its “Emerald Necklace” of green park spaces, including the famous Boston Common.

So why no luxury listings or luxury specific directory until now? We are not sure but LUXBOSTON says that it will “Engage Boston’s luxury market with energy and a new outlook. They even have plans to host events with ASTON MARTIN of NEW ENGLAND among other Luxury brands in the area. “Our goal at luxboston is to engage attendees with luxury offerings and allow exhibitors to display their products and services to a targeted and discerning audience”, says Kevin Payne, founder and native of Boston.

One very wealthy man from the Middle East dishes out enough cash to buy not one Aston Martin One-77  but ten!! Each Aston costing $1.7 million each. He also had them shipped to the desert which set him back an astounding $23 million. As for the performance of this sedan, it boasts of a V12 7.3 liter engine that produces a 750hp from the super light monocoque shell, hitting a top speed of 220mph.

He is reportedly planning to give one to each member of his immediate family. I wonder if he would like to adopt me?

The hybrid version of the 599 GTB is expected to be revealed during the 2010 Geneva International Auto Show in March. Rumor has it that the hybrid 599 will use a modified version of the Kinetic Energy Retrieval System that was employed in Formula 1 racing in 2009 but discontinued in 2010. If that’s the case, an electric motor will be added to the car’s drivetrain that will act as a generator during braking to recover some energy, which would then be stored in a battery and used to boost performance on demand.

Overall a reduction of about 35% in fuel consumption (equivalent to about 17 litres per 100km) will be achieved.

How “Sweet” is that?? Diddy purchased a $360000 Maybach for his son Justin Dior Combs, 16th Birthday!! The entire event was filmed by no other than MTV’s  reality show “My Super Sweet Sixteen”. Performances by rappers Fabolous, Lil’ Kim, and Jim Jones.

Of course the car comes with a driver, i think thats too much car for a 16 year old to handle!

Wrapped in a red ribbon, the Maybach  was presented to Justin at the end of the night. Diddy also gave his son a $10,000 check, which he promptly pledged to Wyclef Jean’s charity Yele Haiti.

I have to admit i was a bit surprised by the collaboration photo-shoot with Sean Combs and Natalia Vodianova for this photoshoot. I loved the classic look minus the bling and extravagance that you would expect from Mr. Combs aka “DIDDY”. Sean wears classic mens cut suits and the editorial captures scenes that remind us of classic romanticism in a war time era. They both look amazing and Sean Combs never fails to impress me.

This foray into old Hollywood glamour – shot by Annie Leibovitz – can be seen in the gallery below.

Yes you are reading this correctly, just a few weeks after the showing of the Burj Khalifa we hear that its already facing competition. Plans for a new superscraper in our own backyard of Miami could win the title of the worlds tallest building. Forget about the Burj Khalifa??? WOW i would love to see this happen!

According to Miami herald, Kobi Karp has submitted designs for Miapolis, a ‘city within a city’ planned for Watson Island. If built, the 160 storey building will be 183 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa. What is more, the Miapolis will boasts of an amusement park, observatory, restaurants, 1.96 million sq ft of shops, over 1000 apartments, 1 million sq ft office space and a 792 room hotel.

Besides being a rival to the Burj Khalifa, the new building if built will function as an economic engine creating 5,000 permanent jobs, paying off $39 million debt owed to the City and injecting $2.5 billion annually into the local economy.

The project is currently looking for funding from investors. With Miami’s current financial woes including a reported 100,000 plus properties in foreclosure, wonder if this project is the right defense to promote economic growth.

What does watch maker Omega do to add to an already amazing collection? Make it even more amazing of course! The newly redesigned Constellation line from Omega unveils its latest star. Every constellation in the universe has its brightest stars, and in Omega’s newly-redesigned Constellation line, nothing glitters more brilliantly than the unique and luxurious Constellation Baguette.

Omega Constellation Baguette

The Constellation Baguette has been created with a strong and vivid visual identity – its dial displays a dramatic supernova structure which emanates boldly from the diamond Constellation star on its mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock. The one-of-a-kind masterpiece glistens with 459 Top Wesselton diamonds totalling just over 30 carats.

The “invisible” mounting of the 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds on the dial means that no trace of the 18kt white gold used in the creation of its case can be seen between the precious stones.

Omega Constellation Baguette

Since the Omega Constellation Baguette is a one-of-a-kind horological masterpiece, every single one of its 459 beautiful diamonds has been cut exclusively for the watch.

If even just one of the stones needs to be replaced or exchanged, the process can take longer than it would for a series-production watch. Any new diamond will have to be custom-prepared so that it matches the color, clarity, cut and carat size of the stones around it. In fact, due to the absolutely unique nature of the Constellation Baguette, no standard replacement parts can be kept in stock – each one would have to be specially created for this extraordinary timepiece.

Giorgio Armani!

At the opening of the Burj Khalifa it was announced that the exquisite Armani hotel would open its doors on March 18. The Armani Hotel, a £925million ($1,447million) partnership between Armani and Emaar Properties, will occupy 37 floors of this iconic building.

The first Armani Resort is due to open in Marrakech, while ‘Residency Villas’ are underway in Marassi (Egypt).

Overall, Armani “plans to open at least ten hotels and resorts within the next ten years,” according to a statement.

The brand joins the likes of Versace, Christian Lacroix, and Missoni which have all opened fashion hotels in the past, with the latter planning openings in Brazil and South Africa.

Bookings for Armani’s first hotel will be accepted from late January, but eager travelers can already register online to receive updates on the hotel and its special offers.

This Pen is not just a Pen, its the essence of the one and only Bugatti Style!

The Bugatti Type A, designed by Ferrari da Varese, is a limited edition which reminds us of the classical lines and structure of the Bugatti style. The project took about two years from the visualization of the model to the definition of the production’s details, to the technical solutions, to the extreme engineering of the shapes.

Bugatti Type A Pen Gift Box

The main material used is aluminum, a technical metal that gives us lightness and durability; the selected alloy is perfectly chosen to enable the smoothest work on the C/C machines. All parts are treated before being plated: most of them are hand brushed while the others are hand polished, to create that slight elegant contrast of different light reflections. The plating technique is a very advanced one, involving four different materials and creating four subsequent layers: first nickel, and then three precious metals being sterling silver, palladium and platinum. This way we ensure perfect durability and avoid oxidation.

The sapphire glasses are milled with the same caution and precision used in high-end watch making in order to obtain a calibrated and invariable housing, and they are tested against temperature variations, which could modify their assets.

To ensure the perfect closure of the cap, and a precise line-up of the different parts, an unusual and advanced bayonet system has been created, made possible by using a stainless steel micro-sphere. It is inserted in the cap within an elastic ring system that allows its breathing while the ball runs along the mill-made groove on the steel nib grip up to the point where it secures the cap with a soft click.

Absolute precision is guaranteed by the use of multi axes machines to shape the smallest details of this complicated though smooth pen. A second bayonet closure with a micro-sphere, again innovative, in the high end writing instruments world, is set in the body of the pen to block the nib grip and secure the converter.

The “writing engine”, the feeder and the nib, is qualitatively superior. In particular, the nib is rhodium coated 18kt gold, and it is equipped with an iridium tip that guarantees smooth writing.

Notice the fine milling of the Bugatti logo at the end of the barrel, excellent miniaturized technical proof, hand lacquered in black to make the brand even more outstanding

A superb manual and technical craftsmanship, both hand crafted and artistic: this is the spirit of co-operation between Bugatti and Ferrari da Varese; the mating of two different worlds which have in common the passion for the new, the research, the attention and love for the beauty, guided by a long tradition of excellence manufacturing.

The Burj Dubai was started at the height of the economic boom and built buy at least 12,000 laborers. The Burj Dubai is set to open today as the worlds tallest building and will set records as so. The Burj is expected to rekindle optimism after its financial crisis.

Burj-Dubai

Burj Dubai, whose opening has been delayed twice since construction began in 2004, will mark another milestone for the deeply indebted emirate with a penchant for seeking new records.

Dubai, one of seven members of the United Arab Emirates, gained a reputation for excess with the creation of man-made islands shaped like palms and an indoor ski slope in the desert.

The tower’s height has been kept a closely guarded secret until now. Developer Emaar Properties PJSC will reveal the height — known to exceed 800 meters (2,625 feet) — on Tuesday and Dubai’s ruler will inaugurate the opening. Emaar, the Burj’s developer, has said the entire Downtown Burj Dubai development, which includes the tower, will cost $US20 billion to build. What is more, it was reported that at their peak, some apartments in the Burj were selling for more than $US 1,900 per square foot, though they now can go for less than half that. And if developers are to be believed, the entire building is already sold out.

Here is a new video of the Pirelli Calendar we previously featured here on Envyme.tv . Be warned its HOT and not for Kids!

Pirelli make tyres – rubber can be sexy – and so can their calendars. They’ve employed legendary cameraman and general lucky bastard Terry Richardson to shoot it. He has the pleasure of snapping – at exotic locations, the following naked girls: Miranda Kerr, Daisy Lowe, Catherine McNeil, Lily Cole, and Eniko Mihalik. All in beautiful Brazil. We don’t hate Terry. Honest.

PRESS RELEASE:

Bugatti honours the importance of the Middle East market
with 2 unique cars and a special series of only 5 Veyrons for the Middle East market

Dubai, 15th December 2009 – Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S. finishes its Centenary celebrations
with three tailor made cars, especially developed for its discerning clientele in the Middle East:
the Veyron “Sang d’Argent”, the Grand Sport “Soleil de Nuit” and the Veyron “Nocturne”,
limited to five cars only.

The “Nocturne” – a special Veyron five car edition exclusively for the Middle East Market

The Veyron “Nocturne” strikes with an extraordinary partition of surfaces never used so far,
giving the car a new dimension of lateral length. Bugatti is experimenting with galvanized side
windows continuing the line of the polished aluminium upper body parts to the rear of the car
and contrast vividly with the uni black of the side- and door-panels and the roof. Added to that is
the hood, also covered in polished aluminium which emphasizes this impression of elegant
length. Special polished custom rims at the exterior and a futuristic interior dominated by a black
nanocoated magnesium dashboard and a centre console in galvanized Platinum complete this
unique combination of individualized modern design.

This mini series has been especially developed for the Middle East Market honouring its
importance and its strong partners in the area – Al Habtoor Motors, UAE, Al Zayani Trading
Co., Kuwait, Al Ghassan Motors, Saudi Arabia and Dana Motors, Quatar.

“Sang d’Argent” and “Soleil de Nuit” – two dreams for 1001 nights

The two-tone-scheme of the Centenary Villa d’Este cars were at the origin of the “Sang
d’Argent”, a one-off Veyron version built exclusively for the Middle East. But the country coded
coloured parts of the car have now been changed to a subtle silver metallic which discreetly flows
into the lines of the polished aluminium parts – doors and front wings – thus enhancing the
“silver theme” of this car; yet another unique Bugatti creation celebrating the 100th anniversary
of the brand. The “Sang d’Argent” has the Grand Sport rims, they complete together with the air
intakes on the roof the overall silver appearance.

Through the windows shines a differentiating Havanna interior with quilting pattern on seats
and saddle and other very personalized items emphasizing the unique features of this very special
Bugatti.

The “Soleil de Nuit” – Sun of the Night – is another stunning example of how a modern
interpretation of Bugatti’s core values “Art, Forme, Technique”: A very unusual colour/material
split characterizes the “Soleil de Nuit”, the second Middle East one-off model created for the
Dubai Motor Show. The horizontal split in the lower part of the car – a synthesis of polished
Aluminium, painted Black Blue Metallic enriched by mirror shine meshes – softens the lines of
this Grand Sport and gives the body a new touch of sportiness. Blue Metallic in the upper body
parts and also in the inner side of the (“Sang Noir”) rims, the outer side of which are in diamond
cut, underline the exquisite appearance of this dramatic looking car. A strong burnt orange
interior crowns the attractiveness of this impressive “Soleil de Nuit”.

The cars will be available for delivery in the first quarter of 2010. Their prices range from 1.65
Mio Euro for the five car series of the “Nocturne” to 1.45 Mio Euro for the “Sang d’Argent” and
1.55 Mio for the “Soleil de Nuit”, the Veyron and Grand Sport one-off models.

All these models are a visible proof of how creativeness and inspiration can be successfully driven
to new limits. Bugatti’s constant strive for new technology, more power with less weight, more
innovative design aiming for improved speed, easier handling and more inspiring elegance has
become legendary. Bugatti’s sophisticated individualization and personalization program has
opened new opportunities for the creative and discerning customers found in the Middle East.
New materials have widened the range of personalized options and have led to combinations and
applications of different varieties of high tech elements never seen before. Thus Bugatti chose
the Dubai Motor Show to present these new combinations the first and only time to a broader
public.

100 years later the Bugatti brand is well established again

Honouring the foundation of the company in 1909 Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S opened the
anniversary with a one-off version of the Veyron, the “Bleu Centenaire”, at the Geneva Motor
Show in March. At the Villa d’Este weekend at the end of April the company paid tribute to
Bugatti’s racing history – which was to a great extend responsible for the worldwide reputation
of the brand – with four very special Grand Sports, accompanied by their respective Type 35
predecessors, all featuring the traditional racing colours representing France, Italy, England and
Germany, namely blue, red, green and white. Bugatti was then one of the honoured marques at
the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in California in August and highlighted the event with
the presentation of the “Sang Bleu”, a one off Grand Sport in a breathtaking and unique carbon
– aluminium combination. The “100th Anniversary Weekend” in Molsheim in September was
the platform for a glimpse into the future which might look like the Bugatti 16 C Galibier
concept – intended to be the most exclusive, elegant and powerful four door automobile in the
world.

The presentation of these very special cars at the Dubai Motor Show is the final highlight, with
which Bugatti ends its Centenary celebrations. We are honoured to complete our 100 Years at
this prestigious Motor Show of a very important market for Bugatti.
