My Fantasy Christmas Wishlist

The Things I Fantasize About when I Am Balled Up in a Fetal Position, Sucking My Thumb, After Some More Troubling Economic News

Shirlene Alusa-Brown
In these depressing times when people are losing everything due, mostly, to corporate greed, I imagine that I have so much money at my disposal that I can get anything in the world that I want. Here are some things that might be of importance to the selfish side of me.

A Koenigsegg Luxury Car.

If you are going anywhere, you have got to make an entrance, and it doesn't get any better than this. Low to the ground, this car hugs the corners, runs on E85 and E100 Biofuel (got to do my part to keep the earth green....it looks good for my reputation and makes people think I care about important things . They also forget to focus on the fact that I paid a ridiculous amount for the car while people starved in neighborhoods near me), and it makes me all my entrances memorable. Yes, definitely have to have the fancy car.

The Ecomobile Luxury Motorbike

This Swiss-made motorbike is beautiful and, more importantly, keeps my hair pretty (not a big fan or riding with my hair blowing in the wind and bugs getting caught in what must look like a big net to them), and allows me to make an entrance in style!! It has a two seat capacity and my child can ride with me. We stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer so we always look fantastic when we reach our destination. I still get my need for speed satisfied because the bike can reach speeds of up to 155 miles per hour, powered by a BMW engine. Sigh...consider me satisfied. Oh, and it is eco-friendly too...can we say, "Brownie points?"

The Yamaha FX Cruiser SHO Luxury Waverunner/JetSki

Cause every girl has to have a little fun in the sun, and I am no exception. This is a souped-up, amenity-rich, look-like-money, jetski. I love it. I would probably get one in silver or grey (always have to look like money, not just have it) and then take it to the water where I would see if it really goes from 0-30 in a faster time than a Corvette Z06. It has adjustable seating, a remote transmitter, cruise assist, and great fuel efficiency. Ooooh, I can just see me at the beach right now, testing the waters.

The Cabestan Luxury Watch (for him)

This would be one of those purchases that would be for the significant other. Definitely a conversation piece, it is sure to be worth the $200,000+ that one would spend just to have conversation and bragging rights. This has Swiss mechanical excellence written all over it.

The Hubolt Big Bang Luxury Watch (for me)

I would choosed the limited edition One Million $ Big Bang with it's 18 karat white gold case with 322 baguette diamonds. The dial is 16 karat white gold with 12 white baguette diamonds, and the dial is 18 karat white gold, 150 palladium, and, 129 baguette diamonds. There are also 24 rubies in the watch. Hmmm...now I need an outfit.

The Jaeger -LeCoultre Joaillerie 101 Manchette Luxury Watch (also for me)

This is the feminine-side-of-me watch, for those elegant operas and high-end galas as I mingle with the power people of the 21st century. A true money watch, it is elegant in its simplicity...so me!

Several more people just lost their jobs today so I guess I have to snap back to reality, but if I could..........If this economy keeps going downhill, my next fantasy will be travel items and distant destinations.
