A 50-year-old man in Tampa, Florida hired a nude maid to clean his house for $100 per hour. I guess hiring a naked maid can really take you to the cleaners. After the woman, Kenna DiMartini, took her clothes off and did some dusting she then managed to rob him of $40,000 of his wife’s jewelry. What I want to know is where she put all the jewels?

The man said he left the woman alone in his bedroom to clean. Bad move, buddy. The man’s wife was out of town caring for her sick mother when he hired the maid on Craigslist.com. She is now seeking divorce due to the incident.

Moral: Don’t hire a klepto naked sexy maid? And if you’re going to spend $100/hour then wouldn’t you at least stay in the room and watch?

There seems to be quite a bit of controversy generating around the bagborroworsteal.com Web site. It is a place for accessory hounds to “borrow” handbags, shades and jewelry. I personally think it is a good idea if you want to try out a bag but you can just as easily go to the store and ogle it as long as you’d like. When did renting and leasing move from houses and cars to designer goods? I love owning my accessories and this takes the thrill out of saving up for an item you desire. This also takes away the shopping aspect and being able to actually touch the product.

They require an expensive membership fee but if you want to have the latest trends ASAP, then this is for you. Shipping and sending the accessories back and forth might be a pain because the items are so delicate and high-priced. Rental prices are high but their selection is growing very quickly and they have every high-end designer your little heart desires. If you are going to spend $500 monthly on a rental bag, why not buy it? Overall I think the best reason to use this site is for trying out bags for a short period of time to get a feel for them before deciding which pricy one to actually purchase. Also, jewelry rental for special occassions could come in handy - like a black tie event, wedding, etc. It’s not for everyone but test drive some of their products and decide for yourself. Here are some samples of their available accessories:

LV clutch:

Jimmy Choo sunglasses:

Chanel bangle:

Betsey Johnson necklace:

At first this struck me as a bit rude: A web site where women sell the jewelry that their ex-boyfriends have given them. I mean, a present is a present, right? No matter how you broke up, at one point your former beau was that enamored with you enough to drop some coin on a shiny trinket, and that gift should be a memory of those happy times. Right?

But I started to see it from the other side. I am fortunate enough to remain friendly (or actual bona fide friends) with the majority of my ex girlfriends. But I know my case is more the exception than the rule. I’m sure that for some, those once-lovely diamond earrings are now a painful reminder of stillborn love. But what to do with such damaged goods? Try selling it on www.ExBoyfriendJewelry.com.

(You might want to check back with them soon. Right now the site’s shut down because of too much traffic…)

And here’s the kicker. Each piece of jewelry comes with a description, both of the item and the circumstances of the breakup. A way to hock your wares and air your grievances? Dish-dish-dish! I think site creators Megahn and Marie Perry may have struck a goldmine (should they decide to take a small cut, like eBay does).

Megahn’s kinda hot, too. I wonder if she’s into hirsute bloggers who like Gibson guitars, Indian food and casual drug use?

There’s some great shopping on there, girls! But remember, the best gifts are the gifts you give yourself.

Here is the new line of jewelry designed by Pharrell and Camille Miceli for Louis Vuitton…

IMHO, ugly. Don’t dig the baby colors and that cherub is creepy.
