You’ve always been a fan of the high life.

Allow us to suggest some entertainment that satisfies your proclivity for excess… introducing Lux5 Santa Monica, a Millionaire Fair for the Santa Monica-set. For just one afternoon, The Barker Hangar will be transformed into a showcase packed to the brim with the crème de la crème of goods.

There you can test drive the “Eco-Chic” - the first luxury plug-in sedan, George Lucas’s personal 435 hp Mosler MT900, or one of the Maseratis, Jaguars, and Porsches. Or, if you’re more of the aquatic-type, hop on board a state-of-the-art “winged” submarine (worth a cool $12 million). Then treat yourself to vintage Rolexes, private jets, one-of-a kind jewels, and cutting-edge gadgets by the dozen.

After all, you can never have too much of a good thing.


Lux5 Santa Monica will be held this Saturday (5/10) at The Barker Hangar, 3021 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica, from Noon to 9 p.m. Tickets are $30.

So with less than sixty days to bonus season, it’s time to consider indulging a little. Will it be another piece of limited-edition art? Or a portfolio of rarefied Champagne vintages? Have it all…

From the House of Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin and the award-winning Porsche Design Studio comes VERTICAL LIMIT, a visually-stunning, brushed steel cellar with individual compartments for twelve of Veuve’s most prized vintages. Think of it as the ultimate trophy for your inner Champagne connoisseur.

Standing over six feet tall, the handmade VERTICAL LIMIT combines two of your favorite luxuries: outstanding design and crisp bubbly. Each shelf holds one vintage magnum (the perfect size for Champagne) at exactly 12˚ Celsius (about 54˚ Fahrenheit) in a sound- and vibration-proof environment. You can saber a rare ‘55 or keep it modern with a ‘90 - you decide.

And if all that talk about rich French Champagnes and illustrious German design doesn’t persuade you to take a look, consider this: each one goes for $70,000 and there are only two available in the country.

Cheers.
