Blinged. Out.

Started by ybpguide · 9 months ago

Dearly beloved, we have come today to put to rest a true icon of the 21st century. An everlasting symbol of the technology and real estate booms. The quintessential flag bearer of Wall Street’s hedge funds and private equity firms. The overused word that described over the top opulence and ... Continue reading »

    Thank goodness! Bling is so...uncool. I just never could get down with the idea of spending that much money on ornamentation when people still starve everyday. And contrary to what Dave Chappelle joked about(skit with the diamonds in his doo-doo), bling isn't the sh't. But I'm not so sure I agree with the boring moniker. Do-gooders and greenies are as multi-faceted as the Hope Diamond itself.

    Instead of buying a furniture yourself, I agree with using craigslist to look for used items thus saving gas and time to go to the shop.

    I’m not sure this is “normal”. I’d probably count as a YAWN, and have a lot of friends who’d meet the description. YAWNs are supposed to be _normal_, and I think even this post tries to make them more interesting than they actually are. I assure you no one wants to read about what I do with my time.

    Of my wealthy friends ($10m-$100m), I’d say half don’t have any kind of philanthropic plans, keep working,

    I aspire to be a healthy combination of both when I amass my fortune. A person can be socially/environmentally conscious and still enjoy their luxuries. I won’t be taking my limo through a ghetto that I’m trying to revitalize. I won’t be wearing a t-shirt and cut off jeans to a dinner party that I’m hosting. I have great respect for those superwealthy that can healthily blend both persons.

    You can bling out your phone yourself with Swarovski crystals. I've seen some other similar sites, but this one is by far the best. You get the most color choices for the cheapest price. I ordered a "large bling kit" and got it within 3 days of my order. It wasn't that hard to do. It does take a little while so I guess I can understand why places that do it for you charge so much.
