September 2010 -- How far would you go? An auto accessory manufacturer in Japan, the DAD company, smothered a pair of Mercedes SL600 sports car in 300,000 Swarovski crystals! In the foreground is the champagne color car and in the background is the silver or 'diamond' crystal car.

The automobiles were displayed first at the Tokyo Auto Salon 2010 in Chiba, suburb of Tokyo, on January 15, 2010. It is the world's largest auto exhibition with more than 600 custom vehicles. But so blinged out? Wow!

July 2010 -- Toronto, Canada -- Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth (she is the Queen of England, ya know) attend a special film presentation at Pinewood Studios in Toronto. The film was a 3D film directed by Deepa Mehta set during the early 19th. It consisted of a group of dancers in period costume gyrating to loud Asian Bhangra music for a few minutes. Of course the 3D glasses worn by the British Royals -- you don't get to see either of them wearing glasses of any kind very often --
