Outrageous gift guide for true tai tais

Chouette Love Hello Kitty “Sparkle” watch

It drips with Swarovski crystals and features Hello Kitty peering through the glitter. We can’t think of a product closer to the hearts of moneyed Hong Kong ladies.

The “Chouette Loves Hello Kitty” line also features two other sparkly, catty concoctions.  “Black” is an inky ceramic sports watch with a sparkly bow on the watch face; “Message” features Hello Kitty’s head as the watch face, with a blinged-out LED display. Prices range from HK$1,490 to HK$6,300.

Top Wagyu at Wagyu Kaiseki Den

For a truly tasteful festive gift, why not go for a hunk of top beef at Wagyu Kaiseki Den? The top-notch eatery sells Kobe steaks hand-carried from Japan for anywhere from HK$3,000 to HK$6,000. Patrons can opt to store the meat in the Den’s spooky individual glass refrigerators to enjoy on a later visit.

Human placental extract injections

We know it’s kinda freaky, but hey, if it’s good enough for songstress-turned-tai-tai Faye Wong then it's good enough for the rest of us. 

Like sheep placental shots on speed, hormone-heavy human placenta injections allegedly erase wrinkles, whiten skin and relieve skin fatigue immediately, and lasts up to half a year. Word is that the forty-something Faye Wong recently traveled to Hong Kong to get a dose, and we've got to say she looked preternaturally perky in those paparazzi snaps. A shot costs HK$100,000.

Judith Leiber Strawberry Cupcake clutch

Let’s face it, a cupcake's appeal is not limited strictly to its taste. We love them because of their prettiness, and boy is the Judith Leiber strawberry cupcake clutch a looker. 

At HK$42,300, it may be (madly) expensive, but it’s got the celebrity endorsement of Charlotte’s four-year old daughter Lily in the Sex and the City movie.

Dita Gold Collection sunglasses

Chanel and Marc Jacobs sunnies are for the hoi polloi. If you really want to stand out you have to go for shades from cult frame maker Dita’s latest Gold collection.

The retro-inspired, polarized sunglasses are plated in 18k gold and can count Hollywood tai tais the Kardashians and Paris Hilton as fans. Prices range from HK$4,380 – HK$7,800.

Miele climate-control wine (multifunctional) cabinet

Real tai tais will need to store their ginseng, Creme de la Mer, fur collars and precious stones in climate controlled confines. Like Miele’s 26-inch wide, glass-paneled wine storage unit.

The giant cabinet has three customized cooling zones, elegant sliding wooden shelves and are fitted with “RemoteVision”, a device that warns you if the doors are let ajar.

Tickets to Australia to see Badboys Australia

Here’s a present for all the ladies who missed Badboys Australia’s sizzling performance at the Asia Adult Expo earlier this month. The hunky male revue group does “Badboys 4 Hire” shows ranging from the “Two Man Show” (that’s two men at one venue, “as mild or as wild as you like”) to the hands-on “Raunchy Full Monty.”

Unfortunately they’re only based in Queensland, so you’ll have to fly out to see them.

Shows range from AU$170 to AU$400. Air tickets are approximately HK$10,000 per head at Virgin Atlantic and Cathay Pacific. www.badboysaustralia.com

 

 

Louis Vuitton Fox Tail Bag

Louis Vuitton’s full-length fox tail bag is hot off the 2010 spring runway. We strongly suspect it’s Marc Jacob’s idea of a joke, but whatever. Victoria Beckham has already got her hands on one, and she’s the tai tai of all time, right?
