Lady Killer Vol. 1 by Atelier Ted Noten with Laikingland

Show your girlfriend you’re serious. Terminator style.
You can’t ever expect anything from Laikingland to be average, even a jewelry box. They collaborated with Atelier Ted Noten to create Lady Killer Vol.1, a jewelry box that houses a tiny robot.
Inside, this tiny robot, created by the latest 3D printing technologies, sits inside the box and waits for the right moment. Then, when the box is opened and the button pushed, the tony robot arm rises toward its target, turns around, and offers the “Lady Killer” ring.





This idea was inspired by the 2004 installation of a robot and a ring, in which Atelier Ted Noten set a full size industrial robot alongside a safe in an Amsterdam gallery with the function of protecting and presenting one wonderful ring.
The Lady Killer ring is made of 22 carat yellow gold with a 0.50 carat brilliant cut colorless diamond and a 0.03 carat 2mm brilliant cut black diamond. Limited to an edition of 18, they are available for pre-order or purchase in October 2011.

Zoom set to reveal Bollywood's hidden side

"Bollywood Big Story", an upcoming show on Zoom, will feature discussions on hot issues from the world of glamour with some of the industry's who's who taking their stand.

The first episode, which will be aired this Saturday, will see a discussion about actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pregnancy and how it has impacted Madhur Bhandarkar's ambitious film "Heroine".

The likes of Karan Johar, Mahesh Bhatt, Sushmita Sen, Ram Gopal Varma, Ashok Pandit, Bhawna Somayya and Femina's editor Tanya Chaitanya will discuss whether a pregnancy clause should be added in contracts of actresses.

"If the film is a glamorous diva film, then it's obvious that the new mother-to-be will overshadow the image of the film, so I feel it's unfortunate that they couldn't resolve the deal behind closed doors," said Bhatt, referring to the Bhadarkar-Aishwarya issue.

Actress Sushmita Sen, who has adopted two children, said: "I don't believe that what I do outside my job is anybody's business, if someone were to put a clause like that on me, I would show the door to the producer."
Neil Nitin Mukesh uses his own brand of humour, saying: "All I can say is that I am lucky that I don't have to sign any such kind of clause".
