You’ve got the Chanel snowboard. The Dior ski boots. You’re even on the wait list for the 2010 Versace Extreme treadmill.

Yet you still can’t bluff your way into A Small World (the social network for the elite)? It probably has something to do with that ratty nylon number you’re toting across the green, along with your mother's hand-knit club cozies.

Enter: The Damier Geante Golf Bag. Forget that cheap golf bag you’ve been using. Instead, why not go for the most expensive golf bag in the world. Created by Louis Vuitton, its named after the canvas used in its creation. The bag features a zip-up hood, a number of pockets, a rolling travel cover and even an umbrella to be used in case of unexpected rain. The bag goes perfectly with a Louis Vuitton luxury iPhone case. If all that doesn’t convince you, consider the real treasure —- this luxurious bag already has four Louis Vuitton tees in it!

One word of advice though: If you really want to be accepted by 'Diamond Lounge' ... then you might want to put your new golf bag into a custom Cadillac Escalade Golf Cart first.

The Olympic Village is still going strong. But ever since the pros were allowed to compete, sponsors have not only given out great endorsement deals, but they have also been providing ever more luxe 'safehouses'. This year, Oakley rented Beijing's trendiest nightlife/dining/hotel complex, Block 8, for its athletes and VIPs. After arriving in chauffeur-driven sedans, guests will be treated to plasma TVs, a turf game area with pool tables and a bocce court, the Ultra nightclub, and two of the city's best restaurants.

To top it off: The Beach, a sand-floored rooftop bar, will host the Games' best private parties.

" title="Moorea Beach Club"/>What's an opium bed? Well, it's not where the poppies grow, that's for sure; it's just one of the plush amenities at the exclusive Moorea Beach Club at Mandalay Bay. Eighty square feet of poolside pleasure comprise the pillowy retreats, which also offer a lock box for your treasured possessions, personalized service and a fresh fruit tray. If the staff won't hand-feed you grapes, there will surely be another guest nearby who will. That's just how they roll.

Moorea is home to European-style bathing, which means tops are optional, which means men pay a premium to get in and women skate by on the cheap -- but I'm told that the expense (for you men) is well worth it. Those flying solo can hunker down on a chaise lounge, groups of four can head for the daybeds or the aforementioned opium beds, and six to eight can splurge for a pavilion.

The latter buys you true only-in-Vegas luxury with flat-screen TVs, a king-size bed and CD player. What other pool clubs call a cabana, they call a pavilion.

Just one more reason to make the escape to Moorea today!

From the East Coast to the West Coast, Sunday brunch has become a tradition for friends and family. While you can find brunch offerings at pretty much every casino in Vegas, while you're there (like I am now) take one Sunday to step off the Strip and toast some Bellinis over bagels at Vox Wine Lounge (2630 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway, at Eastern Avenue). The venue's Sunday brunch comes with all the traditional fixins plus some incredible, inventive dishes. Dine on feta and basil frittata, chorizo and eggs or feed your sweet Sunday-morning tooth with fresh scones, crepes, cinnamon buns and eclairs.

Got a hangover? Then indulge in a little hair of the dog and grab yourself a mimosa or Bellini from the Vox champagne cart or grab a delicious tomato infusion for the legendary Bloody Mary cart. And let's not forget the tunes ... as you're spreading some jam, take in the live jazz.

Ahhh, is it Sunday yet?

For all you City Slickers looking to get away from it all, never underestimate the restorative powers of shouting High Ho, Silver! while galloping off into the sunset.

So, you ask ... what's the quickest way to get in touch with your inner Lone Ranger? It's a little frontier-style rejuvenation at Dunton Hot Springs, a fully restored ghost town in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. Think hand-hewn log cabins (and tepees) surrounding gurgling mineral ponds, an old-time saloon serving locally grown organic cuisine, lung torturing trails followed by a pampering massage.

If adventure is what you’re after (and hopefully you are), Dunton can steer you to horseback riding, heli-skiing, mountain biking, snow shoeing, hiking, camping, fly fishing, river rafting, kayaking, and more. Or maybe soaking for hours in their natural hot springs under an edgeless sky is more your speed.

No matter what your proclivity, Dunton looks like the kind of place you’ll go home raving about — in fact, after discovering this little gem, I am more than apt to make my way there ... and after my travels, if I'm in a sharing mood, when I return, I can book the whole town for forty-two of my closest friends.

Your idea of enlightenment? A hot-off-the-press tabloid and a great glass of wine.

This year step it up a notch with the International Pinot Noir Celebration (July 25-27), hailed by The Wine Advocate as "unquestionably the finest in the world," is a must attend event.

The camp, for wine lovers, is a hedonistic three days of seminars, tastings, tours and one-of-a-kind meals with sixty international Pinot Noir winemakers, all within the beautiful backdrop of Oregon wine country.

Whether you are chatting over an exquisite lunch with a winemaker from Burgundy or tasting with a new world winemaker at one of the informal afternoon seminars, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the personalities behind these unique wines. And to top it off, an array of chefs from the Northwest create spectacular meals throughout the weekend, each offering a contribution to the continuing romance between Pinot Noir and fabulous food.

Which is way more impressive than your current knowledge of Hollywood gossip.
