Anyhow, tonight we are going to see Vampire Weekend, a band which I like very much.
Here's the myspace page: Vampire Weekend. Go listen! Then come back, because we have jewelry to discuss.
Oh, wait! I totally forgot to tell you about this awesome thing I read on Yahoo! last week. Apparently, this guy in the UK built a castle and then hid it behind a giant wall of hay bales because it violated zoning restrictions (ya think?), and there were some comments from various spokespeople peppered throughout the article, but my favorite had to be:
"It looks like a mock-Tudor house from the front and it's got two turrets at the back," the spokeswoman said. "I understand there is also a cannon."
It's almost unfair that such a profound sentence gets said so rarely.
I guess let's do African themed jewelry as Vampire Weekend has a major Afro influence thing happening. (Thanks, BF, for the idea.)
Taurag Silver Bracelet made in Niger, $9.90
Glass and Amber necklace from Ghana, $75
Recycled Plastic Bangles from Burkina Fhaso, $2.50-$3.50Okay, folks. Finding African jewelry is a bit harder than I expected. I've decided to also include Vampire jewelry in the mix!
Baby Vamp Rings, $350 from Catbird(If I'm not mistaken, I think Jen of Sleep Deprivation and Stories of my Bullshit Youth just received a similar ring when her fella proposed. Congratulations!)
Vampretta Vampire Fang Necklace by Alchemy Gothic, $40(Huh.)
One year for Halloween, I was a slutty vampire (what other kind is there?), and since my mom works in the dental field, I had a pair of custom fangs made.
That's the whole story!
I've decided that I will limit my updating to at least twice a week, but no more of this every day business! Friday Favorites will resume this week.
Thank you.

I love the recycled plastic bangles! They are so nicely lightweight and colorful. Welcome back!
The one's I liked the best were actually the cheapest too, the recycled bangles are so bright & happy.
I tend to distrust people who love vampires, because it's only a matter of time before I have to suppress my gag reflex while they go on and f-ing on about how Anne Rice is such a good writer.
Phew, I'm glad you're back. I love that you got custom fangs.
awesome! i was just reading 'interview w the vampire' yesterday...lol
I like the ring. Very subtle. And yay for Vampire Weekend! Lion pride!
I love the tribal inspired ones!
I love the ones from Burkina Fhaso
Love the African bracelets, I have five of the thin ones:)
I was just listening to them the other day. I read about them in the NY Times & they're super. :]
oooh crazy awesome jewelry!
Yup, I go to Barnard College, which is one of the three undergraduate colleges at Columbia. (Barnard is all girls -- the other two are Columbia College and the engineering school, both co-ed.)
