Lana made these amazing trumpet flower frosted glass cuff links, inspired by Kent Wang’s beautiful sakura glass ones. They are even more gorgeous in person.

At least to the woman, or so it would seem.

Keeping in line with my sex and finance theme, someone sent along this article on wealthy men give women more orgasms. I guess there really is no mystery to anything in life. It all comes down to money.

Who would have thought that Hugh Hefner really did give his girls everything?

Seriously, what’s up with all the sex in the news lately? Sex and Finance seems to be in the news a lot lately (and worse yet, it sounds like a really bad name of a b-school girl band).

First, there is a California girl offering her, umm, virginity for sale in an auction. Supposedly, the highest bidder of this “rare” commodity is 3.7 million dollars. Richard Branson should give her a job. Or maybe she’ll give him one.

And then of course, there are all these “impoverished” folks in LA who are letting film crews shoot in their houses because in their own words, they “…need money to maintain my lifestyle.”

Jerry Mendoza says he’s willing to go to an extreme he wouldn’t have before the real estate slump.

His four-bedroom house in suburban Burbank, which Mendoza built in 2006, didn’t sell for the $1.3 million he asked, and when renters left in November he began leasing it for filming. The most he received for a day was $1,300, he said.

Of course, I mean, why stop there? Might as well jump in if you see something you like. Besides, it’s a great chance to make more.

Well, okay, maybe not *everyone* gets it on during recessions. Think of this poor guy here…

A bored middle-of-the-week doodling results in something which may result in me needing a tinfoil hat. Commodity index graph for Fuel (energy) & Metals (non-precious) from Index Mundi; data from IMF.

The following caveats apply –

• Caveat 1: Indices aren’t normalized.
• Caveat 2: Metals index does not include precious metals (redundant, I know).
• Caveat 3: I was drunk.
