Wow! What a story. The painting is FANTASTIC. What were THOSE people doing the vetting process thinking? I agree with K.S. in the above mentioned comments - Warped minds.
I agree with Mr. Rothaar's assessment, the 45 single pressing by the Fab Four (Beatles) and the gold cape worn by Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra will probably fetch the most at the upcoming auction. Although I can see the unfinished painting by Buddy Holly giving them both a run for the money. This auction will be interesting. PLEASE keep us informed.
LOVE the Jewelry Trends for 2012 but I suggest before going out to buy any jewelry listed in the article, SEARCH your jewelry box. I looked through mine and found that I already have them.
Rolex, of course makes the list but there are other luxury watch brands that MUST be included such as: PIAGET, PATEK PHILIPPE and LONGINES just to name a few. All of the brands listed make SPECTACULAR timepieces.
Just viewed the 9 Superb Hotel Breakfasts Slideshow and each looks and sounds too DELICIOUS for words. The breakfast selections in London and South Carolina were quite appealing.
