Exorbitantly Expensive Things We Would Buy if We Were Rich and Vapid!

[Medusa]

It's a Salvador Dali print for like $15k.

[moxie]

I would buy numerous pairs of Fluevogs and I would have quite a few tracks put in my thin head of hair along with having someone do my hair and makeup daily.

Having a chauffeur would be nice because I loathe driving. I would still work and do what I do.

[Tcountry]

I would buy a decent sized island & turn it into a resort....
with all the creative named businesses we could think of like the Lez B Inn

[moxie]

Once PureGirl was all tarted up in Fluevogs, I would hire her to serve me Cherry Fresca's and hope she remembered to shave her chest hair once in a while.

And I might put an in-ground pool in.


Am I now going to have to go on Maury and take a lie detector test to prove to potential suitors that my chest hair is nonexistent?

No Fresca for you!

[JustJo]

So Scoote and I could take a very slow-paced driving tour of all the beaches on this continent....and have the car to zip around to find a nice spot for dinner. :)

A houseboat on the Murray River...

One of these to start, and I would Captain it.

[Rockinonahigh]

Id get me one of those million dollar R.V's my son has at work,then cruise arould the U.S.A. and see the things I have wanted to see thing visis folks I only knoew from online.

[Andrew, Jr.]

I would buy a beach house, new cars, land for an animal and pet sancsuary that is kill free, start a training program for those who are poor, or need help in some way, pay for the food bank in MD to cover their expenses, donate money to the trauma center at Univ. of MD, and pay medical expenses for those who have melanoma in the name of my late sister.

[Okiebug61]

We have acquired all the bling, bling we could ever want. I would let Red do what she loves the most! Teach American History and travel, travel, travel and never worry about the bank balance.

[DoReMiFemme]

I don't want for a lot, and big flashy things don't particularly impress me. But! I do have a secret love for real and faux sparkly things. There would definitely be something gaudy like this in my future:

One of these for when she wanted a break from the boat so she could play with the roo's.

A beautiful spanish villa with views like this one with a massive dungeon fully equiped. We could retire there and open a resort for those with kinky leanings :sunglass:

[imperfect_cupcake]

finally be able to leave england and go home!

a 26 inch Internet TV.

I'd have all of my clothes hand tailored.

A home gym

A car (but not a petrol suck)

a truck with a camper on the back for road trips in North America.

A few flats, couple houses. One in vancouver, one in amsterdam, one in indonesia/thailand. A cabin on a gulf island.

I'd probably travel a lot, more than any "thing."

I'd bring inki's whole family to canada for a vacation. Bring my family to amsterdam for the same thing. Just so they could afford to meet each other!

A yacht...finished in mahogany. Wanna ride?

Living in Five Star Hotels

[JustLovelyJenn]

A full house staff so I don't have to get up and do those dishes... or organize that crazy storage room...

[deb_U_taunt]

My own private island:

http://www.privateislandsonline.com/tanglewood-island-7.htm

Close commute to the Seattle/Tacoma area.

[Melissa]

I would buy a boat. Not a yacht (too big to take care of, not a boat with sails, can't sail. ). But a fairly large boat with a motor, that I can take out to sea and live on for a week or so at a time. A boat with a bedroom, shower, kitchen, a satellite dish, all the bells and whistles. I really want it so I can go out and fish and work online at the same time. Something easy to maneuver. I can just drop anchor and start fishing. Do some dolphin spotting in the Gulf.

[Glenn]

I'd buy back my royal ancestor's castle in Italy that's in ruins and restore it..i'ma really a prince.

[Corkey]

http://www.goldeneagleloghomes.com/log_home_plans/default.asp

One or more of these in several states.

[StillettoDoll]

I would build a gay and lesbian , transgender affordable retirement community.

[Ciaran]

Lou Gehrig's shirt from the 1934 American baseball tour to Japan. The shirt is being auctioned next month and could sell for somewhere in the region of $1 million:

http://www.benzel.net/camping/rvshow2007/airstream.jpg

After I had this beautiful Airstream I would travel to every Pittsburgh Steeler game--home and away. Since this is a fantasy thread I would not have to worry about going to work so my schedule is completely open and my pockets deep. I would have season tickets at Heinz Field for every home game as well.

one of these, filled with all my books I love would be awesome as well. I would want this to be in my home on my own Carribbean Island...along with my own private jet. I would build a sanctuary for all the abused, neglected, and unwanted animals that would be a NO KILL shelter for them to live the rest of their days, happy, loved, and free...and I would call it "Heaven's Gate".....I would do like some others and build a huge LBGTQ facility.....<smiles>I'd build one of these in my home:

[tapu]

I don't want to go too all-out, but I would like an Audi A6 Quattro wagon. In silver, to match all the chrome they still put on them.

I like to think of it as inconspicuous consumption.

[hottprof]

Maybe this is not as absorbent as some... I will think of things in time...

I would buy my grandparents old farm house (which just went on the market) to live in as a serenity retreat...

I would go back to school for my PhD and not have to work while I was in school thus being vapidly rich my other student loans would be paid off...

ooh also a personal trainer/ nutritionist to help me get back on track after my back injury


I like this thread... rock on BFP'ers

[Greyson]

I don't know how to do the picture thing. Here goes....


A second home somewhere on a lake in British Columbia.

Enough money to send all of the neices, nephews, young people I love through University.

Life time membership in a gym with a personal trainer.

Money to travel all over the world.

Set up a foundation to help Queer women, Queer Youth, Queer Seniors and Queer Differently Abled.

[Venus007]

1. I would pay A LOT of money to touch the Pieta by Michelangelo (I would be very gentle)

2. Rent out the Sistine Chapel and have a driver haul me around on one of those driving lifty platform forklift things while I lounged on my back on a feather bed gazing in rapt wonderment at the ceiling for as long as I wanted

3. Buy a fantastic house in Florence and prowl the city for months and months and keep company with art history master minds and have them tell me everything about everything until I am practically pregnant with all the beauty and art.

4. Hire a team of historians, scholars, antiquarians, linguists and archeologists, to traipse all over the area that was ancient Rome during the peak of the Empire and explore the Roman Way as filtered through the cultures it integrated into itself, do this in style for many years

[Starbuck]

First of all, I'd take my gf on an around the world cruise, see Alaska, the Carribian, Italy, Spain, fly inland and see Germany, and the Swiss Alps. England, Ireland and Scotland too will be on this trip.

Next we would travel to Africa to see the beautiful animals, visit Egypt, then head over to the Middle East to visit Israel...I've always wanted to visit there. Our next stop would be the beautiful land of Australia. I've wanted to visit there since I was a child. The beauty of this trip is that it has no time constraints, we have our very own yacht captain and on board staff that prepares our meals, and they know how to disappear when not needed.

Fun excursions will include driving dune buggies in the sand, skiing, walking trails hand-in-hand, snorkeling, making love in a private beach gazebo, beer tastings, trying new foods, possibly petting a dolphin, fishing, and meeting other gays and lesbians abroad :canadian:.
