Looking to add a little sexiness to your living room? Pre-order Room 23, a coffee-table book filled with seductive images of sexy celebs shot in the penthouse suite of the Peninsula Beverly Hills. Some of the guests shot by photographer Deborah Anderson include: Ashanti, James Blunt, George Clooney, Rachel Hunter, Kid Rock, Heidi Klum, and Sharon Stone.
There's always a good, healthy debate among the G Luxe Crew on the best way to drink a cup of coffee. Drewsky thinks he's a commando so he opts for straight black, no cream or sugar. Shadinsky doesn't mind a little sugar but refuses any cream. Tandori, well, he'll drink anything put in front of him.
Regardless of how you drink your coffee, there are some basics on how to tell whether you're drinking a good cup of coffee to begin with. Michaele Weissman, author of God in a Cup has put together her 10 Ways to Judge a Good Cup of Coffee. She also throws in a good little tip:
"Knowing where your coffee comes from can help you pick one that will taste great to you. Latin American coffees tend to be chocolaty and mild. Coffees from east Africa tend to have a wake-up-your-mouth kind of perkiness that coffee pros call brightness. Coffees from Indonesia tend to be earthy, dark, and more intense."
As a classic car lover, Crew Member Drewsky is going to love the Rizk Auto RA that we found on Uncrate. Getting its inspiration from the Aston Martin DBR2, the stunning Rizk is a classic-styled convertible that happens to come with a lot of modern goodies including aircraft-spec carbon composites, Aeron seats, and NASA Aerogel Insulation. You can also pick between a Jaguar E-Type engine or a LS3 Corvette V8. All this modern-retro-sexiness doesn't come cheap at $180,000.
If you're a travel snob like us, you only want to stay at the best. And the best is what you'll find in Travel & Leisure's 2009 World's Best Awards. Find the top hotels and resorts in the world according the T&L's loyal readers. And what was voted the #1 hotel in America? The Inn at Palmetto Bluff located 20 minutes north of Savannah, South Carolina. Seriously, South Carolina.
There's tequila, then there's Gran Patron Burdeos Tequila. At $740 per bottle, this is the kind of spirit that you break out and share with only your dearest of friends. The premium dark tequila is distilled from some of the best blue agave and allowed to age for at least 12 months in American and French oak barrels. We're hoping Crew Member Tandori will pick up a bottle to share with his dear friends when he comes back to the States in a couple of weeks.

We've always been on the fence about the new Porsche Panamera 4-door "saloon". From some of the photos, it sorta looks like a weird, elongated 911. From other angles, it looks just right. After seeing the Panamera in all its full motion glory on Top Gear below, we're thinking about heading up to the local Porsche dealer for a test drive.
