The luxury world of the couture is an interesting place. People are always on the search for the newest, most shocking art or fashion to impress their other rich friends. The culinary world is no exception. While there are still people who love their lobster and fillet mignon, many modern chefs like to experiment with the newest and craziest ingredients, while others like to reach back deep into the past -say, the middle ages- for inspiration. As a result, there are some gourmet foods that are just too out there for the average man and woman to even begin to comprehend. I invite you, my friends, to travel this weird world with me, the strange land of the couture gourmets.

Have you ever feel like soaking yourself in bathtub? Imagine coming back from long day at work or after a horrendous traffic jam on the way home? Tired, stressed out and bushed, bath tub sounds real good, because I would like one good soak right about now.
The hot, damp season gives me a good excuse to soaking. So not having a real bath tub, I fantasized about having one in the middle of my living room now, with remote control door that opens whenever you need it. Sighing, I typed “bath tub in living room” and this is what I found:
Then more and more of these awfully tempting pictures of bath tubs started to pop up. I am totally enticed.
Teuco Sorgente bath tub, like a mini swimming pool with the water drain around it, this is going to make the soaking mission a paradise.
This is not just a bath tub, […]

Space transportation provider Rocketplane Kistler Japan has teamed up with wedding planner First Advantage to begin hosting weddings aboard the Rocketplane XP suborbital spaceplane. A cool 240 million yen ($2.2 million) buys you a wedding ceremony aboard a 1-hour space flight that reaches an altitude of more than 100 kilometers (62.1 miles). In addition to a photo and video album, original dress, wedding certificate and other ceremonial items, the otherworldly price tag includes the cost of transportation to and from the launch site, accommodations, a live broadcast of the ceremony to friends and family at a reception hall on the ground, and 4 days of rehearsal. The space wedding services are scheduled to begin in 2011, but the group will start accepting applications early next month.

Control device manufacturer IDEC has developed a high-tech dog bath system called Wan Love Yu (”Dog Love Bath”), which eliminates the need for shampoo by relying on technology typically found in industrial water treatment systems. Wan Love Yu features a special shower head that discharges water containing approximately 600,000 tiny air bubbles per cubic centimeter. At 20 microns in diameter (5 times smaller than the width of a human hair), the air bubbles are small enough to penetrate the dog’s skin and hair follicles to effectively remove dirt and odor. The high-tech jacuzzi system, which consists of a special shower head and suction hose attached to a 27.5 x 27.5 x 43 centimeter main unit, is designed for use with ordinary bathtubs. The system will go on sale June 20 at a price of between 600,000 and 700,000 yen (around $6,000 to $7,000).
