We've seen Hello Kitty fine jewelry, another purveyor of kiddie character jewelry gone high end is Tweety Fine Jewelry. The the brand with the slogan "fine jewelry for hot chicks" provides jewelry based Looney Tunes cartoon character done in gold, enamel, diamonds and yellow sapphires.

How gay! V.W.'s are junk! Perfect ending for the most recalled car of 2007!

FYI - Tweety was a male, not a female. WB marketing has recently been trying to convert HIS gender as HE appeals more to women.

VW's are actually very dependable cars in bad weather. Not sure about the new models but I had a 70 bug and when my vette wouldn't leave the garage the vw took me evrywhere. Great in the snow! By the way, the car isn't gay but maybe some drivers have been/are
