How Much For A Short Back And Sides?
A celebrity hair stylist in London is charging £20,000 for a wash, cut and blow dry. The salon in Covent Garden has Swarovski crystal chandeliers and Japanese shampoo beds. Clients can have champagne on tap and order anything from the menu at the five-star Covent Garden Hotel just across the road.

The Tiniest Christmas Tree
And The Biggest, Warmest Wish To Each Of You
Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON
Standing no more than an inch tall, this piece of Swarovski crystal is the smallest Christmas tree in our home. As it is already December 25 here in Australia, and we've just got home from Midnight Mass, I'd just like to wish all my readers a wonderful Christmas. From every single member of the McMahon clan, to everyone in your family, may you have a precious Christmas and one to cherish forever.

Ice Spy
Good Things Always Come In Freeze

Get the 300mm Sigma lens off the camera. Put the new macro lens on, the SMC Pentax-DA 1:2.8mm Macro Limited. Fire off three or four random frames. Like I said, random frames.
Much later, check the shots on the computer screen. Aaaaaaargh, can I kick myself. Why? Let me explain. Like I said, they were random shots to show the ice glinting in the sunlight like crystal shards.
Look closer at the ice block on the left. Look at the edge of the ice block. See the miniature crystal fence forming along the edge? No, you can't really see it here, because these are scaled-down, low-resolution versions of the original shot. So let me give you a closer look ....
Beautiful warm afternoon. Back yard bathed in mellow sunshine. Pour some ice into a glass. Hang on a second, mate. Grab the camera. How about a macro shot or two? Yep, for sure.

Now you can see why I wanted to kick myself. Even though the "crystal fence" on the top edge of the ice block was too small to spot with the naked eye, I should have taken some close-in shots like I normally do. The rare sight was more priceless than a Swarovski beard on a crystal figure of Santa Claus.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to spend the next 24 hours wearing a hand-printed sign that says "Kick Me".
Which is a bit like Roberta Flack's big hit, "Kicking me softly with your song, kicking me softly ....."
(The Odd Shots concept came from Katney. Say "G'day" to her.)

Kitty Glitter
Things Are Good In The Doghouse
What has a plush Hello Kitty cushion, topped with a cascade of 7600 Swarovski crystals? A $31,660 doghouse, that's what. The one-of-a-kind fancy residence, large enough for a lapdog like a chihuahua or terrier, goes on sale later this month. Sanrio Co., the company behind the Hello Kitty range of products, said it was created especially for a sales event at a Tokyo department store. Don't scoff - a Hello Kitty Fender Stratocaster electric guitar sold last year for $20,460.
