Here from Ian's! The only thing I knew about them is #1.
ReplyDeletePoppin' by from Ian's. Consider yourself famous now.
ReplyDeleteI think these bracelets are the new fashion trend in Hollywood.
Stopping by from Ian's place. He assured me I would love you. He's not wrong.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Ian's, ya know cause he told me to and I don't like to let people down. If ever I had to wear a court appointed bracelet, I'd so bejewel the shit out of that thing. Adds an extra bit of class, no?
ReplyDeleteCame by from Ian's to check out the fashion forward ankle bracelets. Nice - black so they go with everything in the deliquent's wardrobe.
ReplyDeletePffft....I'm here on my own - not from Ian's - because I come here every day. (Though Ian did write up a really nice post about you! How much did you pay him? You know, just so I can match your contribution!)
ReplyDeleteI'm not from Ians! And I haven't gotten to his blog yet to know why so many people came to you from him. $1500 dollars seems like a lot of money for a fashion accessory. :]
ReplyDeleteSaw that Ian gave you love over at his blog...maybe I should re-word that but I'm not!
ReplyDeleteThey sure are fashionable, too bad they cost 1500.00!
Funny, when I first saw this I thought of Lindsay Lohan ha ha. Glad you mentioned her :)
ReplyDeleteYay! So glad that Ian chose you as one of his ELITE!
ReplyDeleteSo Ian is claiming you are going to make my day 3-4 times each day. I'm not sure my husband would appreciate that statement, but I am willing to let you try.
ReplyDeleteNo pressure.
Interesting fact to know, I suppose. I dont plan on needing one anytime in the near future.
ReplyDeleteSo what is it you do 3-4 times a day again?
Post?
Apparently they can go off if someone is wearing too much cologne....
ReplyDeleteABAO... is that true? Lots and lots of people SHOULD be monitored for the amount of cologne/perfume they wear!
ReplyDeleteI'd really like to get out of the house every once in a while...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteNow I need one to be in the cool kids club. I know you can ook me up with a discount outlet, right?

Lindsay lohan, alcohol problem? I don't believe it. Next your gonna tall me that Andy Dick has a coke problem.
ReplyDeleteMy 50 something neighbor is sporting one as we speak...I am sure it is a proud moment in that Grandmother's life! Well no it was probably a prouder day a few years back when she got one of her many DUI's while driving a bus full of kids. ;-)
