Bling @ MindSay 
I've noticed something over the past decade that disturbs me. It's become quite acceptable to show off your wealth in polite company. When I was growing up, my family lived quite a wealthy lifestyle and I was always taught that it was vulgar to talk about money or to discuss wealth or to show off by wearing diamonds or other jewels in conspicuous quantity.
If one wore a rolex, it was tastefully simple and elegant, unless one was attending a function, in which case one might choose a more stylish and elaborate watch. This also applied to rings; men would wear one on their wedding finger if applicable and also it was tasteful to wear another on the left hand, possibly a class ring or a military ring. Women had more jewelery options and also wore slightly more.
The other night I watched a television special on celebrity Bling! EW! People are proudly wearing clothes that advertise the maker's brand. It doesn't need to say Armani, Chanel, Bvlgari or Versace to be elegant and beautiful. It doesn't need to be coated in XX million dollars worth of diamonds to look nice. Also, Lil' Kim - we don't need to see your boobies to imagine how nice they look. Although . . .
So what's happened to good taste? Is it just me, or do others think this is crass and vulgar?
In case you don’t know the story, Fiddy came into the Hanes booth at the Style Villa and arm wrestled me for watches. My $50 watch against his $50,000 one. I knew I probably wasn’t going to beat him, but I also knew I wasn’t going to keep his watch if I did. So you can imagine how surprised I was when he actually kept my watch.
IF ANYONE KNOWS HOW TO CONTACT 50, PLEASE EMAIL THIS TO HIM OR YOUR FRIENDS WITH THE SUBJECT LINE OF “GIVE DAVE’S WATCH BACK.”
Seriously, I don’t know what time it is. I need my watch.
"The Blowers Daughter"
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
