Because You're Ugly: Really Expensive Book on Fashion

Got an extra three grand lying around the house? How about spending it on the Vivienne Westwood Opus, one of the largest fashion books ever. The book, which costs a whopping $2,700, was published just this week (only 900 copies are available). It weighs in at 55 pounds and is filled with pictures of famous faces like Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Sir Bob Geldof, Jerry Hall and Helena Bonham Carter. The tome chronicles Westwood's fashion designs throughout her career and comes with nine different covers, all signed by the designer herself.

Sure, $3K might be better spent feeding cancerous orphans or helping to cure AIDS in the jungles of Africa, but then you wouldn't be able to flip through pretty pictures and contemplate developing an eating disorder. So it's really a no brainer.
