Miles High

Cool Bags thought to share some of the happenings that caught our attention in last June's Newsletter. The travel section was literally hard!


Here goes.

Of Madness & Badness

It all about hedonism this one & a generation of luxury.

Warming up this very cold June, we thought to bring a few laughs by showcasing some seriously glam lifestyles & travel options out there.

So to run with this theme, over in Travel it’s a jet-set off to a pious destination which could only have been thought of by rich -to make them famous! Then, we just had to run with a potentially very seriously wicked travel option. This one surely must have been conjured up to increase membership interest in that Mile High Club.

Keeping the same game going, in the Book quarter we feature the newly released book on Elizabeth Taylor & Richard Burton, which stands as a great portrait of high maintenance troubled living. During our research though, we found a gem on Elvis published early this year which aptly, fits in with this issue.

And then taking the flow home, in Foreign Times which zooms in on what’s happening abroad & what the world is wearing, we glimpsed at Royal Ascot stimulated fashion match ensembles -should easily find favour here at home with the Kenyan wedding season abound.

Fun reading & let the travels begin!

Ticket To Heaven

You may have sold your soul long ago, but what a comfort it is to know that you can buy it back. For $15,000, a company called Remote Lands will organize an eye-opening journey in the grandest of style. Partake in a private tea & lunch session with His Holiness the Dalai Lama at his private residence in the Tsuglakhang Complex.

A380 Singapore Airlines

Nice For Naughty

This one, is not for sharing with His Holiness. The A380 flight between Singapore & Australia by Singapore Airlines, has on board 12 double suites complete with closable doors, & get this, beds made up with Givenchy duvets & pillows!  Joining that illustrious club in the sky has never been made easier. This flight captures the sheer experience in upper-class hedonism.

From $7,343 round trip.

Wailing Rich

The Burtons gave value. Jet-set life, indulgences in luxury, fabled screaming matches & sexual provocations.  This new book offers the binges & bling, revealing a portrait of the magnetic qualities—her vulgar warmth, his soulful virility—that glued the couple together.

Hounded Dog

Published in January 2010 Baby Let’s Play House: Elvis Presley & His Women focuses on Elvis’ bizarre history with women. It collects all the madness, badness & sadness of the Elvis myth. Revelations are shocking, sometimes amazing, always fascinating.
