Art gets manifested in any form. It has no definitions or boundaries. The designer ceramic tiles by the JuJu Design Party are absolutely stunning and exclusive. The emphasis of the designers is on innovation and exquisiteness. Sometimes, the whole idea seems to be ridiculous when you listen about it, but turns out to be a wonderful concept when you actually witness it. This is exactly the thing that happened to me. I heard the concept of these artful tiles, but was not much impressed. To my surprise, when I actually encountered it, the product was simply extra-ordinary. It is a product for home furnishing which will definitely give the place a very trendy and unusual look.

The fanciful tiles give the appearance of a joyous mishap. It is as if the designers Maija Puoskari as well as Tuukka Tujula have just made the tile and a dog passes over it and leaves its foot prints on the tiles. Lovely accident…isn’t it? And, the hard ceramic quickly turns into soft and white snow. I really adore the style. What do you think about it?

Since last month we have been listening about auctions of paintings, art and statues happening at international auction houses viz. Sotheby’s and Christie’s. But to break the monotony and to question your wildest thought, a lock of socialist activist Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s hair and related items generated $119,500 at an auction in Dallas.

The inquisitive compilation was owned by Gustavo Villoldo, a former CIA operative who made efforts to hunt Guevara down in the forest of Bolivia in 1967. He claims that the lock was cut off before burying guerrilla fighter along with two of his companions. To the dismay of the media conjecture that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who deeply honors’ the iconic Guevara would be the highest bidder; it went to Houston-based Bill Butler.

I doubt if they are for sale.

A Colombian dog was kidnapped the earlier month for a ransom of as heavy an amount as $350,000 ($NZ470, 873). The German shepherd was returned back even without the payment of the ransom when the abductors drooped the victim at a veterinary doctor’s office on the pretext of giving bath to the dog. But, after the bath had been given, the doctor called the police as none had actually come to pick it up.

The police identified the German shepherd as Aldo de Fescol and claimed that a report had been filed for its kidnap. The police reported that the kidnappers were wounded in the shootout, while the dog was in a healthy condition. The dog was kidnapped from the Bogotá neighborhood when the owners were gone.

I wonder sometimes that some dogs are so lucky to be kidnapped for such a high ransom, while many human beings on this earth don’t have even half the value.

It is for sure that luxury has no boundaries. I would say that dreams are meant to be made true. This is exactly what the glorious association of two popular companies has achieved. The Dazzling Daydream is a combination of two companies which have come together to create a revolution in the history of luxury bath. Kludi, the organization that deals in the field of water in bathrooms, and Swarovski, the company that has acclaimed its specialty in crystal cutting, have allied together to create lavish bathrooms in order to make bathing more wonderful and splendid than it has ever been.

No doubt, the price is actually worth the sumptuousness of the luxury. The starting range of this product is from US $85,064(60,000Euros). The Dazzling Daydream has endeavored to take the concept of bathing beyond the dimensions of stylish architecture, and have provided a cadence to the entire concept by corroborating it with a rhythmic dimension. The lush Resources such as crystal, glass, granite and chrome have augmented the beauty of ‘Passion’, while the one called ‘Delight’ is characterized by glittering and lucent wood, limestone. Crystal etc.It would really be a very luxurious and sumptuous experience to bathe in such a marvelous surrounding. I am looking forward to it. Just loving it…
