Jet lag and Katanga's MEME

Mrs Katanga sent us a Meme. Actually it’s the first one that I’ve received so I asked my Father to help me with this piece of information. ;)

I must say that I am not a “design victim” and apart from just loving nice things I really do not care much about fashion and design. Since Mrs Katanga’s instructions to complete the meme were so basic I decided to categorize my likes into several areas.

Automobile:

Aston Martin DBS, combines not only power, beauty and soul but unique pieces (you don’t see or you did not see so much) and some old British heritage inherited from Rolls and Bentley. Arriving to your favourite hotel with your own exclusive luggage in the trunk and leaving the keys to the bellboy is a unique bunny experience much better than getting out from a tiny loud sport car in which only a cheap cordura bag can be fitted. (Typically Mr. Evaseé with a dumb blonde)


Porsche Carrera is a classic icon or how a modified VW Beatle with the engine hanged over the rear wheels can attract so much attention. Most of its solutions are out of date but electronics keep them on the right track. May be this is the same like having a nice watch with a quartz movement but…

Time pieces:


Oysters seldom hide surprises in the form of pearls but another icon inspires on them. The oyster perpetual is a classic sport watch with the better taste around the comex sea dwellers. And to demonstrate that design also has its weak point consider what bracelet closure you get for your money.

Pateks are never owned by the individuals who are wearing them; they just take care of the property that another member of the family will take care of. If you have some funds in UBS wearing a Platinum Gondolo when visiting your banker is just a must.


Writing instruments:

I agree with Mrs Katanga, Pilot pens are the best. Their gel inks make effortless to sign all the checks you must sign to get money or to get credit. Besides I do not like to write so much as to worried about expensive writing instruments. BTW I was in its museum in Ginza (Tokyo)


Mobile phone:

I need just to talk over the phone and my PA, so style, weight and “lifeproof” is what makes my Vertu a unique communication tool. Yeah, It doesn’t come with fancy features and is just half than any Blackberry but if I prefer other to write email from me rather than write them myself.

Handbag:

Believe it or not I am quite practical and I don’t need to carry a lot of shit inside my purse, for that I have my Father carrying it for me. Neither I love to carry a purse in which I can fit inside or a key lock that weights more than my bag. The Hermes Kelly is the right choice.

Hotels:

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo will be perfect if its breakfast will include eggs without paying a ridiculous extra. It’s much more spacious than its cousin from Hong Kong and better located while having the greatest service you can desire.

The Peninsula is getting me on my nerves with some minor faults as putting me in a bigger room in the new building that I did not ask for. Just in the center of Kwoolon it’s much more convenient for die hard shoppers like me who like to make bell boys to work hard while unloading the trunk of the new mint green Rolls Royce.

Best sail and hull designer:

Mrs Katanga uncompromised style could be the reflect of oriental philosophy. She is able to subtly catch the energy coming out from your mind and soul to create a masterpiece who reflects the most intricate part of you.

PS1: I will think about who deserves to be honoured in this MEME
