Automated luxury store, U*tique, just opened up its first location ever in Fred Segal Santa Monica. It's lux-o-matic, interactive, insta-matic…just don't call it a vending machine. Although that's basically what this fancy-schmancy machine does. Except instead of dispensing cheesy puffs, it sells 50 upscale beauty items, indulgences and lifestyle products like Aira mink eyelashes, Bliss triple oxygen mask, David Kirsch Wellness detox kit, GoSmile smile brightening system and ModelCo tan in a can to name just a few.

Already, there's been news bits about the $38,390 basket of love awaiting Golden Globe presenters and soon we will hear all about the goodies awaiting celebs and their handlers at Sundance or in town for the awards season (why doesn't some enterprising young publisher just compile all the press releases on what celeb received which complimentary doodad this time and publish a periodical called "Swagazine").

In addition to predictable plugs for impossibly posh services offered by the likes of Time and Place Homes, which rents luxury vacation properties, or high-end T shirts by Landes Daily at Fred Segal Fun, the magazine cites Cooks Library bookstore on Third Street as the place stars head to "when they want to be creative in the kitchen."
