It's a bracelet cuff with a MERMAID on it. And not just any mermaid. A sparkly, rhinestone encrusted mermaid that looks like she either has REALLY bad indigestion, or is perhaps, dead. Yes, on closer inspection, she's dead. You can wear a dead mermaid around your wrist!
This pin - wow. There is a whole lot of EVERYTHING going on with this pin. It's called the "Stand by me pin", and there are stars and baubles and oh my, oh my.
Perhaps the "Stand by Me" pin above isn't doing it for you? Well *THIS* one has a fairy that's been impaled on a snowflake!!! See, she's been killed and mounted for your wearing pleasure! What more could you ask for???
And my personal favorite? The cat pin. Truly words fail me when it comes to describing this gold plated monstrosity. We've got tiny cats on vacation, complete with matching shiny butterflies, hearts and other items that I just don't recognize. Because I know if Lily ever goes on vacation, well the first thing she's packing is her gold sparkly butterfly. Don't leave home without it!
What kills me the most about all this stuff is how EXPENSIVE it is. The cheapest item is the cat pin at $35. The dead mermaid cuff above is actually retailing at over $100!!! And people BUY IT! I don't get it at all - can someone explain this to me please?

Am I perhaps missing some irony here?
A dead mermaid? Well, when I go to the QVC site and look at an enlargement of the picture, I see nothing that shows that the mermaid is dead. A face with all the expression and charm of a death mask, to be sure - but not dead.
And it's a bargain at $185, only $121 for this special introductory offer.
Did you happen to notice that the models can't help giggling while presenting this stuff?
Now, for that fairy on the pin. True, either there is some serious deficiency in artistic ability, or that skirt is truly indecent! But impailed, no way. Perhaps she just wishes that she were.
Someone I know has a birthday coming up - and my shopping problem is now solved. Why choose when I can get both?
Hey girl!!!!!
I LOVE YOUR SITE!!!! Sorry it took so long to join the fun but what a pleasure it is to read, keep it coming, Sistah!
ok, so now you've got me worried about my own state of mind. Because...... I actually kinda like the "Stand By Me" pin?????
I know, I know, I'm wrong, my eyes are failing me, I must be going through temporary insanity.... and yet????? it's not half-ugly??????
