‘The French Riviera is the place to be in the summer. Lots of famous people enjoy parties in Cannes, St. Tropez or… Monaco. It is the place to be for the rich and famous.
Allthough it is not cheap to live in Monte Carlo (apartments are sold for a minimum of 50.000 euro per m2) or to go out (a small beer will cost you at least 7,50 euro). It is a great place to visit. You have the harbour, casino, principal palace, exotic garden, the beach and many more places in the country that measures only 2km2.
At night lots of people visit the Buddha Bar, Sas bar (watch out for the hookers), Stars&Bars, Before, Rascasse (only when it’s late and you’re drunk) or the famous disco Jimmy’z.
So don’t hesitate and take a plane to the place to be. Closest airport is Nice, from where you can take a taxi (100euro), helicopter (40 euro), bus (20 euro) or bus and train (7,50 euro). Or just rent a car or boat to get here.
Do you need somebody to plan your perfect holiday here in style? Just contact me and I will see what I can do for you.

Your boots must have fur, if you want to be in fashion this winter. Unfotunately, rabbitfur is very popular in the east now, but we prefer fake fur, as no animals are harmed then.
The boots are warm, look nice and qute. So go for it and buy yourself some furry boots!
By the way, don’t take it over the top, as these celebrities do. Have some boots with a touch of fur as a detail, but don’t wear a dead animal as a boot:

“You will never make money with a boat”
By Tessa Heerschop
CANNES
To buy a yacht is a dream for many people, but what most don`t know is that the costs of owning a ship are mostly more then the value of the vessel. Therefore, many boatowners chose to charter. But even then, it stays an expensive hobby.
Luxury yachts
Charter companies for luxury yachts can be found in every harbor around the Cote d`Azur. But can you really make money by owning a ship and renting it out? Simon Louis, who works for the shipbroker MarcPajot.com doesn`t think so: «As a private owner, you will never make money with a yacht».
1,5 million euro
In the Port Canto of Cannes Simon Louis tries to sell 25.5 meter long yacht during the Cannes Croissette Show. «I don`t know exactly what the owners payed when they bought it in 2003, but we try to sell it now for 1,5 million Euro. I guess a new yacht like this would cost you around 3 million euro`s. But don`t assume that when you`ve bought it, you`re done with paying. You pay as much on maintenance as on the price of the ship.»
Filipinos
To navigate a ship above 20 meters, you need to have a license. To charter it, you even need a professional skipper. The yacht that Simon sells has a staff of three fulltime employees. «The owner choose for a French Skipper. He then choses the rest of the staff, who are French as too. They get paid normal wages». He specifies that they get a normal salary, because lot`s of owners choose now for Filipino workers. As long as the foreign workers sleep on board and don` t leave the harbor, they are considered professional sailors. Therefore they don`t require a visa for France and are paid by the standards of the International Maritime Organization. What is a lousy 300 Euro`s a month. But even then, with three people on board, it would cost you 900 Euro`s a month for staff only.
Harbor
The riviera coast is not the cheapest place to put your yacht. The price to buy a place in the harbor of Antibes is at minimum 150.000 Euro for a boat of 25 meters. Then there are the costs of insurance and taxes. «When you have guests on board, the price of insurance is ridiculously high», Simon says while walking around on the white sundeck of the yacht. «If you don`t have guests on board and you want to go yourself for a trip, then keep in mind that the two engines absorb 410 liters of fuel an hour. So it`s definitely not cheap to go for a tour with this kind of ship».
Maintenance
Next to insurance, taxes and staff, the ship also has a lot of maintenance. Every four years it has to go to out of the water on a dock. «A yacht that`s around ten years old begins to show signs of aging. So the engines need extra care and you might consider a new interior as well».
Making money
The only way to make money is to charter your yacht. For 5000 Euro, without the costs of food and fuel, 9 people can spend the day on this luxurious vessel. It`s rented out 3 months a year, so the owners get around 150.000 Euro`s a year. The yacht is 9 years old, wich means they made around 1,35 million Euro, while the value of the yacht dropt 1,5 million Euro`s in the same time and has a lot of extra costs. «Owning a boat is a dream and that`s why people buy one. If you want to make money, you`re better of investing in bricks. Cause a boat will only cost you and never makes money for private owners», concludes Simon.

So you wanna have some fun and you don’t know what to do with those millions of euro’s on you bank account? Then why not visit the Monaco Yacht Show? With more then a 100 superyachts, going up to 90 meters, there is a boat for everyone.
Haha, no seriously, even when you can’t afford a yacht, it’s a nice visit. A bit expensive, the entree alone is 70 euro’s. And the hotels in Monaco aren’t cheap either. But it’s wonderfull to see so many boats together. It’s to amaze yourself what money can buy.
Have Fun!

Is it too gay to pose with your cat, while you where cats ears? Karl Lagerfeld doesn`t think so as he proves on this picture published in the American edition of Harper’s Bazaar . His cat Princesse Choupette is completely spoiled, but hey, who`s complaining he treats his animal well? Anyway, the picture is cute, as is the cat. Karl knows we all love cats, cause they are funny and adorable.

OMG Miley Cyrus, what did you do with your hair?! The girl that used to be a pretty lady, is now a little adolescence who tries to shock the world with a bad hairdo. She already put her body full of tattoos, but that was apparently not rock enough. Maybe it has to do with her boyfriend, who`s from Australia, the land of the wild. Anyway, we don`t like it (unless it`s the hair of an English model)! Grow back your hair girl or get extensions! Grow up!
By the way, she`s not the only celebrity with a bad hair day this week, take a look at Naomi Campbell. She`s becoming a bold supermodel. We feel bad for her, as she probably has some condition. Or maybe it`s just the relaxer, ask Chris.
Get well Naomi! Maybe you can get a wig of the hair Miley shaved off!

Psy is as crazy as LMFAO
Psy is a singer from Korea (guess wich one of the two) who has been popular since 2001. His real name is Park Jae Sang and he is known for his exciting and theatric stage performances. The guy has won every imaginary award you can get in Korea. You can even say he is the Korean version of LMFAO, dressing crazy, having crazy lyrics, but still making very good music to dance on.
His new hit Gangnam Style (it`s gone viral, already watched more then 27 million times on youtube) is so catchy that it even has a chance to get popular in Europe and America. Psy dances like an horserider and it`s really funny, can`t wait to see people dance like this in the clubs! We hope so, finally some poppy influence from the far East!!
And see here the remix of LMFAO with Sexy and I know it together with Psy.
