A few well known facts about "Glamour Whore":

1) I am 1st generation Sicilian and beyond proud of it.
2) My ass will not get on any motorcycle that is not a Ducati
3) My dream car is a Maserati
and
4) I refer to my breasts as the "Fendi Sistas" because I am convinced I am made of fine Italian couture and it gets no finer than Fendi.

The point of this? Read on...

Apparently the maker of my dream car and favorite fashion house have teamed up to make my head explode... Yes, I introduce you to the Fendi x Maserati GranCabrio. Omg... It's AMAZING!!! My worlds have collided in the best possible way. This is definitely a "bad bitch" car:

Description from the Maserati website:

"Two Made in Italy flag bearers, Maserati and FENDI, have always strived to provide clients with unique and distinctive products. The famous Italian fashion house responded enthusiastically to the idea of dressing the GranCabrio's sinuous body shape. The creation of the one-off showcar was supervised by Silvia Venturini Fendi and has resulted in a made-to-measure exterior that enhances the car's elegance and innate class. The new colour chosen for the exterior, Grigio Fiamma FENDI, immediately catches the eye. The dark grey hue was obtained by applying three layers of paint that gives the bodywork its special gold-tinted finish. The new colouring suits the car and highlights its natural elegance. The fashion house's double 'F' logo features in the centre of the wheel rims while the brake callipers, in classic yellow typical of FENDI, can be spied through the spokes. The double 'F' logo is also found on the double-stitched quilted seats and the FENDI tag appears on the door sill cover. The materials used for the car's interior were created especially for this model, constructed at Maserati's historic Modena headquarters. The smart FENDI Pergamena wood trim adorns the cabin. It has been incorporated on the dashboard, door panels and gear knob and is in FENDI yellow, as is the Maserati Trident found on the headrests. The refinements continue with FENDI's exquisite Cuoio Romano, from its Selleria range, which has been used to finish the instrument dial peaks, the gear lever and the carpet profiles. The same high quality material was used for the limited edition Travel Kit of luggage and accessories; the perfect complement to the GranCabrio FENDI. The car represents the successful blend of art and handcrafted elegance with the 4.7 litre V8 teamed with a cutting-edge automatic transmission. The combination ensures unrivalled dynamism backed up by a unique engine roar that is music to the ears of car enthusiasts. Such an exclusive collaboration deserves to be identified with a special logo and one has been created by Silvia Venturini Fendi: an oval plaque that bears the Maserati Trident, the FENDI logo and the limited edition five-digit number. As fashionistas will be aware, five was the obvious choice because it is FENDI's iconic number. The plaque is situated on the dashboard in front of the passenger seat with another, outside, flanking the canvas roof. To wrap things up, a refined car cover comes in black and features the classic two-tone double 'F'. It fits the Maserati GranCabrio FENDI like a couture evening gown."

Now on to the sexy ass beast that is Ducati...

Apparently Ducati has a new bike inspired by the Mercedes Benz AMG line called "The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition":

The official description from the Ducati website:

"Ducati and Mercedes AMG have proudly announced that the first public showing of the Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition will be at the 64th International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany from 15-25 September. The 2012 flagship model of the Diavel family is a tribute to the AMG luxury-sport brand and is intended for passionate connoisseurs of technology, engineering detail and exclusive style. Based upon the Diavel Carbon, the Diavel AMG Special Edition features AMG's signature 5-spoke wheel styling, carbon fibre lateral radiator grills with aluminium trim, AMG-style sport exhaust system with engraved end-caps and AMG-style horizontally ribbed seat upholstery. The model's incredible attention to performance detail also ensures that every engine has its Desmodromic cam-timing set by hand and authenticated with the name of the engine technician engraved on the left-side engine casing. Further underlining the model's exclusivity, each motorcycle will have a numbered plaque on the fuel tank. The award-winning Ducati Diavel has had massive first-year success for the Italian motorcycle manufacturer, its bold design merging the worlds of power and style with absolute precision to set a new industry standard for the segment. Hand-built - as with all Ducati motorcycles - the exclusive new Diavel AMG Special Edition is dressed in matte black carbon fibre bodywork with AMG's very own "Diamond White Bright" stripe and frame colour contrasted with black wheels. The special edition wheels, seat and exhaust end-caps are all AMG branded while "AMG" is also laser-engraved into the air-duct panels either side of the fuel tank. The Ducati Diavel AMG Special Edition and dedicated leather jacket and helmet apparel will be available in early 2012 with orders opening to coincide with the first public showing at the Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany."
