$24K Gold Tan Line from Mariah

You know you're serious about tanning when you hire a personal tanning assistant, and anyone who has seen Mariah Carey's dark tan over the past few years can easily tell that she loves to do it. This has led to more than a few instances of bright orange skin in the past, but Mariah has decided that gold is more her color now. She is working with her tanning assistant, who is from the Portofino Sun Center and Spa in Beverly Hills, developing a new fake tan line that is made with 24-karat gold dust. It sounds like it might be a little over-the-top for anyone who isn't spending a lot of time on stage, but it will probably be a hit with those who really like to look bronzed. Or gilded.

Filed under: Dining

Giving a warm edge to the multitude of shining, modernist kitchen appliances is the newest offering from Jenn-Air: the Oiled Bronze line. The idea is to offer the sophistication and shine of a metallic finish with an injection of warmth to keep the kitchen feeling welcoming and friendly. The finish will be available on many, but not all, Jenn-Air products, including refrigerators, dishwashers ovens and cook tops, no doubt hitting the more lux lines before the down-market choices. The french door refrigerator is expected to retail for around $3,000.

$4,000 for door pulls? Martin Pierce's door handles are more art than hardware. His unique designs take their inspiration from the plant and animal world. He makes the original design in jeweler's wax and a lost wax process is used to cast the bronze. The process has to be repeated for each piece. Pierce also makes stunningly beautiful wood furniture that uses similar motifs. The handles make their debut at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show in Chicago.
