RM Auctions offer a Toyota for a million dollars
Toyota is not a firm that one generally associates with sports cars and luxury, but with the sale of a 1967 Toyota 2000GT at an expected price of $1,000,000 (£625,000), we’ve definitely found an exception. (more…)
This New York based graduate of the University of Texas has worked with GQ and Cameron Silver, Inc. Bradshaw likes whiskey, beer and Zac Efron and had a pet cow named Angus as a child.
This Scottish producer’s life was immortalised in the 2013 crowdfunded film, The Last Impresario. Jewish and educated at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz, White moved from being a Wall Street runner in the 1950s to the pinnacles of showbusiness in the 1960s and 1970s. Known for working on projects as diverse as Monty Python, The Rocky Horror Show, Enigma and White Mischief, this legendary playboy “can’t think about one good thing about growing old” and considers beautiful women to be “like living pictures”. White’s “Icarus-like downfall” into drugs and excess are well documented but, as he’d no doubt say himself, “the party must go on”.
This New York based casting director and talent agent has worked on The Man Who Would Be King, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, To Kill A Mockingbird and Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Gore Vidal was a “great friend” and Michael Caine once described Boatwright’s Sunday lunch parties as “most interesting”. Hers is considered “one of the most fabulous names in showbiz”.

62,000 square foot apartment at New York’s The River House comes to the market for £80.5 million
Apartments don’t normally come with indoor tennis courts but if the proposed conversion of the former River Club within New York’s River House co-operative goes ahead, what will surely be one of the world’s most ludicrous properties will indeed be created. (more…)

This week, Mrs MILF deals with a wife with expensive tastes in jewellery, a sister with suspicions, social networks and answers a reader’s question about her own tastes in men and women.
Mrs MILF: Do you like men or women? I get the feeling you are ambivalent.
Lizzie C., Honiton, Devon
Although a few of my exes were intrigued by the thought of me with other women, those exes who had more maturity and experience of life realised that they should be careful what they wished for. As for men and women, I love most men, like some but respect only a few. Women: I love a few, like some and respect most.
My wife came home from a party and told me she’d fallen in love with a piece of jewellery. I said I’d buy it for her and then I saw the price: £49,000. She knows I’d never be able to afford such an item especially given I was made redundant from my banking job last year. Is she trying to tell me something or should I prepare for her departure?
Johan B., London, SW3
She is trying to tell you something. You should prepare for her departure.
I think my lover has another lover who keeps liking his photo on Facebook. What should I do?
Kyle H., New York, USA
Remove yourself from Facebook. It’s not a lifeline. It’s a rope. Don’t get hung on it.
My sister and her husband adopted a child ten years ago. I have my suspicions that the little girl is his lovechild as she looks like my sister’s best friend. Should I dare to breach the topic or is it best to let sleeping dogs lie? P.S. The husband hates me and I loathe him. P.P.S. My sister is definitely unhappy in the marriage as she’s told me as much.
Camilla C., London, W8
The messenger is always shot. There is never an exception. Don’t mention anything unless you have proof (i.e. a DNA test). Even then, you’ll still be shot. After all, your sister may already know who the baby belongs to. As for being unhappy in her marriage, if she really is she’ll file for divorce or ask her husband to buy her a £49,000 piece of jewellery.
My lover hasn’t followed me on Twitter. Does that mean he’s no longer interested?
Emma R., London, SE15
The answer in a word: “Yes”.
