Featuring a ridiculous 9900 black and white diamonds, this Diamond Chess Set goes beyond opulence and skips right to “I’m so rich I use hundreds as toilet paper” and “I eat diamond encrusted cupcakes” money.

The $224,000 price tag actually seems sort of low considering the crazy amount of craftmanship and the thousands of gems installed in the set. 4500 hours of artisanship was poured into this thing. Reasonable is pushing it. More stuff you will never have a chance to own.

We were just starting to believe that USB drive designers were finally starting to lay off the gaudiness. And then we see something like this. I swear, if it wasn’t my habit to wear sunglasses indoors at all times, I would have been blinded by this thing.

If you happen to be into layers and layers of crystals or wearing ridiculous gadgets around your neck, this USB Swan necklace thing (I hesitate to even call it a gadget, as to not taint the word) can be yours for $27.

I have to say, woman are interested in some of the tackiest gadgets of all time, most of which carry the Hello Kitty branding. The Mickey Mouse shaped M Player just got shoved down a notch in my book of classiness (which I keep handy at all times.)

With the “ears” decked in fruity Swarovski crystals, and brandishing a revolting pinkish purplish hue, the special edition M Player is also availble in your choice of white, blue, silver, and black. But the pink flavor is just so much more interesting to stab at with prose of cruelty. — Andrew Dobrow
