Apple MacBook iPhone Diamond Bling Fest

While I was browsing GetItNext to find myself a brand new 3g iPhone, I stumbled upon this truly amazing auction from TraxNYC. The company is selling a top of the line Men’s Diamond Ring, Cross, Bracelet and Watch along with a Mac Book Pro and the highly desired iPhone.  Not sure how it all ties together but in this economy why not do the opposite of reality and aim high.  Maybe their target market is all the Yankees fans that sit in the new legends seats. 

Here is a link to the bling fest if you want to view the actual listing: Diamond iPhone MacBook.

Listing details: the diamond ring, which is claimed to be one of the finest on the market, contains 7 huge stones surrounded by an array of smaller diamonds giving it a fully covered diamond surface for ultimate shine. The auction also describes the one of a kind cross and bracelet. The cross displays a fully invisible concave setting, one of the most popular diamond settings on the market today. The bracelet is another true masterpiece; the surface is 100% fully iced with pave set VS Stones set in 14k gold. On top of all this cool ‘Bling-Bling’ you also the coolest gadgets, an iPhone and Macbook Pro!

The Good, The Bad and the Ugly of the 80’s

The 80’s were chock full of quirky fashion, fads and gimmicks.  Some should never return to see the light of day again.  Others are too good to be retired.  Let’s take a walk down memory lane together.

What should never be seen again: asymmetrical hair-cuts, shoulder pads, enormously big hair, boom boxes, parachute pants, banana hair clips, jelly shoes (they always tore your feet apart), 80’s prom and bridal dresses, lacey gloves, mullets, Swatch watches and girls who bathed in Love’s Baby Soft Perfume.

Things we are not embarrassed to share with our children: Skate boarding, Vans shoes, break dancing, mini-skirts, Shrinky Dinks, Rubik’s Cube, the game of Trivial Pursuit, Underoos, Connect Four, Cabbage Patch dolls, Pop Rocks, Converse sneakers, leather pants and Ray Ban Wayfarers.

Go ahead…pull out those old photos.  I bet you owned a lot of these items and you rocked it!

Bernie Madoff Piggy Bank, The Gift That Keeps on Taking

I figured an appropriate way to celebrate the news of Bernie Madoff spending his first night in jail, would be to post a funny blog.  Well I hope you like it.

Check out this Bernie Madoff Piggy Bank that is selling for top dollar on eBay.  The bank is a caricature of Bernie Madoff and the back features stacks of money bags.  It has an inoperable plug at the bottom so your money goes in but does NOT come out.

So far the bidding for this item is fierce with many of the limited edition pieces going for over $200.
