Come on Down- Blingorific Edition

October 24, 2007 in Baby Gear, Baby Manolo, Bring the Fun, Contests, Diversions with 12 Comments

Thank you to the Manolo, raincoaster, and everyone who sent their postive thoughts our way.  It worked!  We are out of danger, and all signs point to it staying that way.  Please keep in mind the hundreds of thousands displaced, and hope that the winds, which are the main reason the fires are out of control, die down very soon.  Let us keep repeating “onshore flow, onshore flow” because that is what is most needed.

Now, what better way to keep my mind off of things than to hunt for an item for the newest edition of One Bid?

My friends, I present to you the most expensive, blingiest potential choking hazard you will ever see.

I gotta wear shades!

Because nothing says you love your infant daughter like a Swarovski-encrusted pacifier!  Regular pacifiers are for suckers.  Get it? Suckers?

Hey, cut me some slack, people.

The cabin fever we are experiencing here at Casa Glinda is torture. As soon as Glinda can leave the house without a face mask, the era of tacky jokes will be over, I promise.

But really, infants can be startlingly similar to crows, in that they are fascinated by shiny objects, and I could totally see this working to distract them.  The downside is they would probably try to put the wrong side of it in their mouths.

And it seems that for some people, I must reiterate that you are not allowed to go over the actual retail price.  If I was to ignore this crucial rule, the logic on which the universe is partly based, life as we know it may cease to exist.  Just ask Bob Barker.

Guess away! 

About Glinda: Playing against type, Glinda lives in the West with her husband, eight year old son and year old daughter. She is in a constant state of worry that her wand is going to break at any moment.

    Those will be really popular with the E! crowd. $90! It looks like two old-fashioned Pill cases split by mitosis, forming a gay Rolling Stones album.

    I have no idea. I don’t even know how much a regular pacifier goes for these days. But I’ll take a guess…$49.99.

    Forty dollars, and now please excuse the Annalucia while she goes into the bathroom to allow her gag reflex to do its work without disturbing the others.

    $24.95. Those things get lost every other day.

  5. Kimberrly V October 24, 2007 at 3:57 pm #

    $39.99.

    I will say $50. There is a baby in my church that has one with sparkles on it and it distracts me because I love looking at shiny things.

    OK, I’m going with $29.99.

    But why doesn’t it have a tether-ring on it, so it doesn’t disappear into the storm drains on Rodeo Drive?

    Those rhinestones will be gone in a heartbeat- right into the mouth of babes, whose mothers have bad taste. Swarovski, you say? 39.95.

    Isn’t Swarovski LEAD crystal, come to think of it?

  10. dgm October 24, 2007 at 7:18 pm #

    Liz beat me to $49.99, so I’ll go $45.99.

    Swarovski crystal isn’t cheap, but pacifiers are usually disposable things that get lost easily. Then again, someone who would buy this pacifier is probably in it for the crystals and completely unconcerned about any other aspect.

    At least I hope they don’t actually put that in a baby’s mouth!

    I’m going to guess $67.00.
