The Weekender

Miami, Steve McQueen and Office WikiLeaks

The weekend is sitting next to the queen tomorrow.

PERK ALERT

Wine Country, Delivered... for 42% Off

Imagine a wine tasting in Napa Valley. The crowds. The cabernets. Comparing notes with a ringer for Virginia Madsen. But you don’t have time for all that, so we’re getting you six mini-bottles of top-tier vino to try. And giving you $30 towards a bottle of your favorite. Virginia approves.

Buy Steve McQueen’s Motorcycle
GREAT ESCAPE

Buy Steve McQueen’s Motorcycle

You and the King of Cool have a lot in common. Effortless charm. A key role in The Towering Inferno. And soon, his 1971 Husqvarna 400 off-road motorcycle—the one he rode on the cover of SI. It’s up for auction on May 14. As you can see, riding is shirt-optional.

MIAMI VICES

Miami’s always had a leg up in the style department (particularly the city’s pastel-clad vice squad). One source: the Webster hotel’s stylish boutique.

GAME ON

Whether it’s a family reunion or tomorrow’s royal wedding, you never know when you’ll need a football. Your solution: this thing, which you can turn into a football by filling it with, say, socks or a crumpled-up newspaper. You’ve been meaning to work on your spiral.

WikiLeaks for Your Office
LOOSE LIPS

WikiLeaks for Your Office

This is a warning. The folks at OfficeLeaks have provided an anonymous place where people can share office gossip and/or matters of national security with the world. Given the truth about the copy machine—including the role you and the intern had in breaking it—you may want to seek counsel.
