I need one...

Rhinestone White Tiger
The Shoppes at The Palazzo, Las Vegas
May 19, 2008

I spotted this lovely rhinestone studded white tiger at The Shoppes at The Palazzo Resort Hotel Casino. He was rather impressive in all his glittery shininess. I was quite prepared to bring him home but my husband did not agree he was worth $25,000. Yep folks, that's $25,000! We would likely would have had to pay for the extra weight to bring him home on the plane and then those fine folks guarding our border would have charged an entrance fee (13 %). Still if put in the right spot in the family room this tiger would have amused the grandbabies for a several years as they picked out the rhinestones ;)

A few points to ponder on this tiger:
  • I wonder how many rhinestones it took? That would be a good party game guessing providing we could get someone to count in the first place.
  • How long would it have taken the artist to stud this tiger with rhinestones?
  • Why?
I'm heading on over to eBay right now and getting a large lot of clear rhinestones. Then I'm going to get a large squeeze bottle of craft glue. Armed with these two supplies and a pair of tweezers I'm going to find me a gnome looking to be glitterized to join Travelocity's Roaming Gnome (whom I had the great pleasure of meeting in Las Vegas and getting my picture taken with him this trip) in his quest to wander the world. I figure a few hours spent gluing on rhinestones will easily get me $25,000 on eBay. Hey, it can happen because anything is possible with eBay :)

    Now that is funny :) On our recent visit to Las Vegas my SIL and I went for lunch. The lady at the check-out mentioned I had my bling on. I had no idea what that meant and I'm rather internet savvy. She pointed at my rings then said they meant bling. Learn something new everyday.

    Oh I should mention I wear rings on every finger, all gifts and very small stones but only when I'm out and seldom at home. I don't like large stones at all at least not on my fingers and I'm not all that fond of diamonds.

    For those trying to get to know me, here's a tidbit. My engagement ring has 11 small diamonds, custom made. We met on the 11th and proposed on the 11th. The matching wedding band was also customized so is one of a kind set. One of these days I may post a picture. Each diamond in the wedding band has a meaning

    My sister wears rings on every finger. My wedding band is a silver band with Celtic trinity knots. I hope to hear the story of the 11 diamonds. Sounds mysterious.

    Pretty, but too rich for my blood.
