Gresso Develops White iPhone 4 Lady Blanche, a Luxury Phone for Girls


The white iPhone 4 has landed gracefully few months ago amidst lots of critics, and all of a sudden having a white iPhone 4 is no longer exclusive. But don’t worry, as we’ve got one white iPhone 4 along with diamonds, crystals and pearls… of course!

Known for its ridiculous custom mobile devices, Gresso may force you to refinance your house and hock a kidney to afford its latest creation, the Lady Blanche. A solid diamond-coated mineral glass backing, three independent Swiss clocks and pearl dials replace the usual body on this iced-out iPhone.

If the $30k diamond model is a bit out of your price range, the much more affordable Swarovski crystal version will only set you back 7,000 bones. Release details are unclear at this point, but when they drop you better act fast — only 150 of these gems will be available. If you have that kind of cash lying around, just get the salesman to throw in one of these for your iPad, too.

 Paris Hilton masters the art of hogging the limelight for her extravagant lifestyle. In absolutely no danger of being bogged down with the global recession, the rich Hilton heiress has ordered a $400,000 diamond-encrusted dashboard to add a little more sparkle to her pink Bentley. The hotel heiress, 27, will have it flown out from the firm’s British HQ in Crewe to be fitted to her Continental GT in Los Angeles. Paris got one of her guys to phone Bentley in Crewe, to explore the possibility. And a source at Bentley said, “When the man said she wanted to stud the dashboard with a couple of hundred grand’s worth of diamonds, we were stunned. We’re used to dealing with the stars so we expect the odd extravagance, but this is something else.” The Barbie-inspired ride has been customized in pink with upholstery, grille and hubcaps also in pink. She had it sprayed pink and has got her initials almost everywhere, on the blinged Bentley badge, rims and even on the seat. Love her or hate her, she sure knows how to create the buz
