The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsBling-bling
I have been hearing the word "bling-bling" thrown around lately. I read someplace that it is a hip hop term. So I decided to google the word "bling" for the fun of it to see what I would come up with and this is some of what I found out.
Wikipedia gives this description of bling or bling-bling:
"Bling-bling" (usually shortened to simply "bling") is a hip hop slang term which refers to elaborate jewelry and other accoutrements, and also to a lifestyle built around excess spending and ostentation.
Now I really have found out why I am not into bling - it is exaggerated elaboration. I mean we can all be elaborate about something, but bling-bling? Dang-Dang no way!
And how about some taste for your party? Wanna try some Bling H2o? This is for real people! Whoo hoo! Butt and all - gotta bling that one guys!
Bling-bling, bling-bling.....do we really care?
Have at it!

The least able to afford this crap is the target of all the advertising, hip hop music, and peer pressure. Just because 50 Cent (or whoever) wears some ridiculously huge diamond encrusted something-or-other, every hip hop loving kid wants one just like it. Sorry, but I'm not about to go into major debt for a Lincoln Navigator or a "grille". My idea of "bling" is if my man buys me a piece of jewelry in his price range (tasteful). I'm easy to please. I don't need "bling" like those pacifiers... how stupid is that?!
And maybe, I'm an old fart at 43...LOL
