HER MESS (Hermes)

















This is the love of my life (yes this time im talking about my girlfriend and not my 58" plasma).


She is busted in Louis Vuitton, Couch Shopping. hahahaha. No actually she is waiting patiently for a her new wallet.


Before I met her, you could say, I was fashionably deprived, challenged and some might say even fashionably retarded. This is starting to change. I actually know allot about the major brands and their products. (Mainly becuase she is obsessed and is always telling me about it)


Any way! One of the brands that tickles her shopping fancy is "Hermes" pronounce (Her_mez). I thought it was pronounced (Her meeez) like the Jamaican dude from futureama.


Anyway you can see she is wearing two of their bracelets and has many more at home, including belts, scarfs, perfumes. She also has many immediate plans for handbags, more bracelets and scarfs (yes baby, I know you do!)


The ones she is wearing are called a "looping bracelet" and an "enamel bracelet" (aka click H, "I think").


Why am I talking about Hermes and her obsession with this stuff you ask....wellllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!


I found out that I may have an interest in Hermes....ohhhh yes that right baby, I too am obsesssed with Hermes now, and there wont be anymore Hermes buying until i get my Hermes product.


Let me introduce you to the Bugatti Veyron Fbg by Hermes.

I am dribbling whilst writing this, its quite disgusting actually. I love this car. Its the same car seen in my blog about "Scott Storch", however this is an Hermes Special addition.
(My Heart is racing at a ridiculous rate)

Below is an exert from an "autoblog"

Ettore Bugatti and Émile Hermès met in the 1920s, when Ettore ordered a bespoke suitcase for his first Bugatti Royale. Almost eighty years later, at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours d'Élégance, representatives of Bugatti and Hermès met again. And this encounter turned out to be the beginning of a new collaboration between the two houses.The revival of this relationship may initially appear surprising, as the association between the renowned luxury house and the legendary car manufacturer in today's automotive context would not immediately spring to mind. It confirms that heritage is able to survive over a time span of several decades.

Specifications:
This remarkable car features an array of excep¬tional characteristics: the innovative alliance of a technologically advanced engine, deliver¬ing 1001 horsepower, with an understated yet uncompromising silhouette reflecting the high performance capacities of state-of-the-art engineering and design, and above all, the pleasure these inspire in every Bugatti owner. The fascination exerted by this sports coupé, capable of reaching 407 km/h, is due in large part to its unique alliance of the very finest motor-racing technology with comfortable handling for everyday driving. The 16-cylinder "W" configuration engine is fed by four turbochargers and features 64 valves, generating 1001 horse¬power at 6000 rpm. The engine draws on its 8-litre displacement to deliver a maximum torque of 1250 Newton-metres between 2200 and 5500 rpm. With full-time all-wheel drive, the car's phenomenal power produces breath-takingly dynamic handling, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 2.5 seconds. The Bugatti Veyron 16.4 benefits from aeronautical and aerospace technologies, making it the fastest production car ever made. The car also features a braking system designed to deliver unprecedented powers of deceleration, establish¬ing a new industry benchmark. The carbon-fibre discs provide brake pressure of up to 180 bars, combined with eight-piston monobloc callipers and titanium pistons fitted with fine steel heads and ceramic heat protectors. Apply the brakes at speeds above 200 km/h, and the rear wing acts as an airbrake, positioning itself at an angle of 113 degrees in less than 0.4 seconds, augmenting the Bugatti Veyron's already impressive stopping power. The airbrake increases negative lift at the rear of the car to 300 kg, enhancing the braking torque on the rear axle. At 400 km/h, emergency braking will bring the sports car to a complete halt in less than 10 seconds.

Hermes Interior


The inner surfaces of the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès have been designed and sheathed in bull calfskin by the Hermès workshops in Paris. The care and attention to detail observe an extremely refined, minimalist formal vocabulary, reflecting the tradition of the very first Bugattis and the fundamental design principles of the house of Hermès. The door handles echo the fluid forms of handles on Hermès travel bags and luggage. And the dashboard, traditionally finished in brushed aluminium, is here clad entirely in bull calfskin. Passengers aboard the Bugatti Veyron Fbg par Hermès will find a dashboard glove compartment designed to hold a selection of small travel accessories and a zipped Hermès wallet. Both seats are covered in two-toned bull calfskin, and the panel separating the cockpit from the central rear engine – traditionally made of carbon fibre – is covered in the same fine leather. The leather-lined trunk holds a specially-fitted "Toile H" and leather case, hand-made by craftsmen from the Hermès workshops.
