Diamond-Covered Mercedes SL

It seems unlikely that there is a car with more bling on it than this Mercedes SL, spotted at an auto show overseas. From a distance, it almost appears that the car is coated in glitter, but it is actually covered in diamonds. I won't speculate on the value, but you can bet that this isn't a car just anyone will turn up in.

What a waste of time and energy.

This is sooooo hot! I don't think I would ever drive it... but I would buy it just to look at it. Can we say "bling bling"? I mean, it is in Webster's now... Loves It!

But hey, if you own this, at least no one can key your car.

I must tell on myself: I get a little annoyed when I read a comment by the gentleman from SE Asia about Americans and Europeans and conspicuous consumption and how for the price of a Marc Jacobs handbag a thousand malnourished children in the Third World could eat for a year and so on...

After all, this site is called "Luxist," it's not called "Bargain Basement" or "Feed The World" or "Why Capitalists Are Scum."

But right now we need him. We need his commentary now. For this revolting display. Bring it on. We appreciate you, Razib Ahmed! Sincerely, I do appreciate your comments and I will never roll my eyes again when I read them.

Seriously, I have no idea how you do it, Nicole! You (and the rest) manage to post an article like this without making super snide commentary. You are a better woman than I.

Keep up the good work. Thanks for the daily detour from reality. And also for the constant reminder of how good we've got it here.

Thanks, Susanna. I think that, in this particular instance, I was so stunned to see such a car that I was left speechless. It's a good thing I didn't see it in person. I might have fallen right over.

Thanks, Susanna for your comment. I live in a part of the world, where people of all age suffer from poverty everyday. 2 Million children are suffering from Hunger in Nepal (http://www.southasiabiz.com/2006/05/nepal_2_million_children_suffe.html).
Well, I know that there are many people even in USA and Canada who are hungry daily (of course the condition in North America is much better). At the end of the day, it is we the readers and the consumers who are to blame for this kind of coverage. I do not blame the bloggers. I am a professional blogger too and I work for money just like these bloggers in Luxist and may be if I had got a scope to write for this blog I would have jumped on the team long ago. Why this kind of entries are posted? Because there is enough demand among the readers. I just talk about hungry children not to offend any blogger or their writing. I have nothing against them and I am one of them too. I just want to remind the readers of the other side of the world which is not rosy and lauxarious.
Thanks again everyone for tolerating my comments.
