Is bling over? That's the
word from
Robin Givhan who
writes in the Washington Post that the use, overuse and abuse of the world bling might be coming to an end. Rappers
like 50 Cent, Nelly and Missy Elliot who draped themselves in diamonds and rapped about the treats available at Jacob
the Jewelers have all taken a turn toward the understated. No one is giving up their diamonds or turning in their
glittering watches anytime soon but the article says that the over-the-top focus on flash is over. It makes me wonder
if we should
pull a Lloyd Grove and
banish the world bling from this website. But then we'd need a new word for all those sparkle-sparkle, shine-shine
items that we come across so often. Who's with me? Should we ditch bling?
