Bring on the Pink Rhinestone Skulls
Posted on February 27, 2006
Skulls, skulls, skulls -- that's what you see when you look closely at the pattern on scarves and jewelry of all the most photogenic starlets today. The skull madness seems to be igniting into some kind of macabre trend, so we decided to check out some skulls that are not quite so....Halloweenish.
From left to right, we have 1) The Tarina Tarantino "Crystal Skull" Necklace in Fuchsia on a sterling silver chain (beloved of Kelly Clarkson) ($120); 2) Disney Couture pink Lucite bangle with iridescent pink crystals, gold plated Tinkerbell charm and white resin skull and bead charm. ($138.00); and 3) Disney Couture large "Skull" Ring with pink rhinestones ($45).
No, your eyes are not deceiving you: that does say "Disney Couture" -- which certainly seems like an oxymoron. Can this really be from Disney? But then you look closer and see the very trademarked image of Tinkerbell right next to a skull that looks more "Pirates of the Caribbean" (the ride, not the movie) than Keith Richards after a hard night of partying. So: grinning skulls with pink rhinestones....it's a look.
Note: If you want just a pink rhinestone skull for your home you can find that too - see Haus of Skulls. It is hand covered with over 3000 Rhinestones.
