Music To My Ears

What A Luxury It Is, Indeed, To Have 

All The Music In The World 

At Your Fingertips...!  

And That Is Exactly The Feeling 

That You Have... With Deezer 

(Yeah, Okay - Sometimes We Will Use 

Jango... Or Shazam! 

But It Is Extremely Rare - You'll See!) 

Yes - Deezer invites thee to give the old 

"thumbs up/thumbs down" treatment 

to a bunch of unknown artists 

that we get to discover through it...! 

Thank you so much for making us feel 

like GOD there, Deezer...!? 

False Messiah type here... EH? 

Another category of luxury; Yogi! 

Guess what I gave him...

Oops - almost forgot two other sources of tunes: 

Soundcloud... and Spotify! 

Never judge a track by its jacket, but... 

Nice backside there... Hollaback Grrls! 

And if you want to listen for yourselves 

- to any or all of these tracks - 

just log on to *your* 

DEEZER! 

Now! 

The Luxury Of Doing Art

You can only fully indulge in an artistic career 

if you are freed from the burden of having 

to earn a living for your own survival; 

never mind that of additional mouths to feed 

on top of every other bill that there is to pay...! 

Those who were born with the proverbial 

silver spoon in their mouth - 

those were given the freedom to pursue 

their wildest dreams ~ their greater 

aspirations... in arts or whatever else 

it may be ~ without constraints! 

Those are the lucky ones...

Or are they? 

It takes a fortune in order to make one as well 

~ and it is a greater treasure still 

when one finds oneself 

outside of all 

excessive material wealth! 

incredible... eh

What is that one thing that has made your India experience truly luxurious? #FindTheIncredibleYou #IncredibleIndia

The Luxury Of Our Dreams VS Luminous Luxury To Aspire To...

... And What We Can Realistically Afford! 

All Manners Of Luxury - Miscellaneous!

Post by Malik Tajamul Hayat Khan.

DAMN FACEBOOK: it's a luxury, too...

The Luxury of Debauchery

... ironically enough, 

the word "LUXURE" in French 

is ALL about THAT...!!!

...updated, quite obviously!°

The Faces of Luxury

A Luxurious Christmas Is...

Capitalist Christmas?

Commercial Christmas?

Or...

Celebrating His Birth 

On a chosen date 

in order to, originally, 

 circumvent pagan rituals 

which are now replaced by far greater threats 

to the realization that His Coming 

And His Sacrifice 

Are The True Greatest Riches 

one can ever have...! 

Luxury Cars... Are Better This Way!

A Luxury We Can All Afford...

Diamonds are forever? 

Well, not this kind -

but it is just as pretty -

if you can observe it 

with a microscope, that is! 

We are talking about the 

prodigious 

snow flake! 

And, this holiday season 

especially, 

a great many people 

can only afford that 

- as they are homeless, 

even hopeless -

and guess what: 

Mother Nature 

won't even give them THAT...

That bitch! 

Merry Christmas 

to everyone 

with artificial snow slopes -

at least? 

(The stuff in a can doesn't count!)

Luxuries - As Seen On Facebook!

A Bavarian castle - why not, Herr Übermensch...!


Spend the day in the spa, milord?


And find your Dulcinea awaiting thee
on a bed of roses...! Awwwwww!


All that -and more- can be yours too:
if you agree to bury large sums of your earnings
(hardly earned or not) into it...!

You'll feel like you own it all - if only for a day!
It is a great feeling -
no matter how temporary it all is, really!

Chri$tma$

Is it a luxury these days, really, to have a very, VERY, Merry Christmas...?

The answer: perhaps.

You could have a ton of expensive gifts, champagne gushing out of bottles by the dozen, tables chock-full of exotic dishes and a legion of servants to feed it to your dozens of guests, packed into your fancy abode...!

Or all you could have is this:



And it would be the most luxurious of Christmases because you would have the Essence: you would have the Light - you would have Christ, The Christ in Christmas, symbolized here by the luminous tree; and luminous it is though devoid of any ornaments or decorations made in China or something...!

May you be able to afford this luxury - this year...

Trendy Eyewear - Ha.

Ahh... Oakley!

Oakley... who?
Baron Oakley?
Charles Oakley?
OAKLEY, ENGLAND?
OAKLEY, CALIF.?

Disambiguation helping and all, along with an ever-renewable miniaturized hyperlink supplied by a little tweety-tweety birdie that is as generic as it is mercantile (simeonbttjhr3 Simeon Washington @luminousluciano : http://tiny.ly/P8kS) we could quickly identify the Oakley suspect as such:




All 'tis being ado about nothing much at all indeed;
for I am perfectly happy with my eyewear right now!

Look how cool I am with it - and weep! For some peeps may be wearing the purported-to-be  coolest eyewear in all the land -  and yet they can't see squat! 

Case in point:  duas hermanas, aqui -  uma nem pode ver um palmo adianto do nariz  and recognize her sissy...?!?  'Cause if she did recognize her here...  she wouldn't be making out with her!  RIGHT?  LOL 

Ban Ray Ban - I say!
And Oakley? Oh. It's... Obsolete!  Clearly!
:)

Think We Got A Problem...?

Well, IT IS tax season after all...
We gotta pay the price for all that luxurious lifestyle one day or another, right?!?

Just ask our friends Ricky, Jeezy and Lil' Wayne here...

We thought this would fit the bill just fine - some music, some wine, a million other frivolities, maybe...?!? But we digress...

On this festive occasion -tax season- why not celebrate with a -dreadful- song about them taxes, the most annoying of all of them too: the luxury tax!

At least the song leads people to think that it might be about said tax...!

Oh well - just escape back into a world of pure ecstatic excess already - onboard a luxury yacht, for instance:

Excelsior!
;)

Shining Stars, Shining Bright... rrrrrrrrrrrrright!

Pluie d’étoiles pour Marithé et François Girbaud !

Gotta give it to the fair half of that creative couple though;
Marithé is such a gracious name!
Amalgamating Marie and Thé - two very good things indeed!
Now THAT's my cup of tea!
Congrats and kudos, both, to Marithé's parents!
Add cheers to that too!

Jeers to that Girbaud guy who took you away from them, though!
(If only in a creative partnership, thus not consummated, quite obviously...!)
And the same to those male models he uses!!!
In blasphemous poses to boot - the jerk!

Yeah, I know;
for all I know, it could have well been MARITHÉ's IDEA in the first place!!!

It is, most probably, the prerogative of a MARITHÉ indeed; 

one with such an original name can and shall do as she pleases...! 

For a time... 

LOVE

THE GREATEST LUXURY OF ALL: 

TO GIVE ONE'S HEART 

AND TAKE ANOTHER'S!
