All stories about "Monaco"

Monte Carlo’s Grand Prix is widely regarded as sport’s most prestigious race. The Formula 1 event features high-end sponsors, A-list attendees, and, of course, a breathtaking setting. This past weekend some of the world’s wealthiest fans of speed and socializing gathered on the increasingly small island for the 66th annual race and watched in awe as 23-year-old Lewis Hamilton post-crash took the Grand Prix prize. Prince Albert II, P. Diddy, Quentin Tarantino, Jay-Z and Petra Nemcova were all on hand in the VIP. Not to mention, Pussycat Dolls alum Nicole Sherzinger (who rumor has it is Hamilton’s amour). Hotels for a four-night stay set you back in the ballpark of $25K.

I'm feeling a little out of sorts today, so I've decided to just post whatever I'm in the mood to blog about. Obviously, I've used this as an excuse to write up odes to some of the finest women in the world. No day of posting international hottie photos would be complete without acknowledging the Princess of Monaco, Charlotte Casiraghi. No less an authority on pretty women than Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld (who, regardless of his personal preferences, is constantly surrounded by gorgeous models) once likened Princess Charlotte to the famous French sex kitten Brigitte Bardot. Her movie star looks are to be expected, since Charlotte's grandmother is none other than Grace Kelly. In addition to her royal pedigree, killer tan, and piercing grey eyes, the 21-year-old Princess is also in possession of her own island off the Sardinian coast, which is a good thing because she looks damn good in a bikini.
