Those are lovely.
L'd love to borrow those too!
tacky...
I heard chandeleir earrings are out this year.
What a way for this jeweler to advertise his jewelry. But than again I guess it is somewhat patriotic of him. The girls are lovely even without the jewelry.
He's doing his daughters a disservice by letting the do this. They should go to the store and by a nice dress and wear their own jewlery. The last thing that you want to do to your kids is to give them a life that they cannot match when they are on their own. Trust me.
"You know, I'm going to start thanking
the woman who cleans the restroom in
the building I work in. I'm going to start
thinking of her as a human being"
They could write a book like "Mommy Dearest" about the President. The left would make the girls billionaires.
I fail to see anything wrong with this. Many jewelers and clothing designers lend new jewelry and gowns to other celebrities for various occasions.
"The last thing that you want to do to your kids is to give them a life that they cannot match when they are on their own." What makes you think that they cannot match or indeed exceed their present position in life?
They might, but it's difficult. Let's say they go on to lead successful, productive lives as lawyers or doctors. Do you want them to be content that they have succeded in life, or always think that they haven't done enough because they don't live as well as they used to?
Well, sure. I, for one, would not want my children growing up with any sort of celebrity mentality. What percentage of celebrities do you think are sane and happy people? I think it's very low.
I understand that, but the celebrity status of the Bush Twins is not their fault, and they are very happy and beautiful young ladies.
But is it the celebrity status that made them nuts and unhappy, or was their desire for celebrity the result of their unhappy insanity? Most celebrities are such on purpose, these people seek adoration and acceptance on a grand scale, that's probably not the desire of a sane person. People that wind up famous by accident of birth are usually better adjusted and don't run into the standard celebrity problems.
Good point. Having watched the opening rounds of "American Idol", it is readily apparent that many of the contestants have serious mental health issues. Many cannot sing or perform and go postal upon being told they failed the audition. Others speak on how they are encouraged by family and friends about their talent, when they clearly have none. Makes you wonder if much of it is in their heads.
Watching these people certainly fills in the gaps for me as to the problems in Hollyweird.
Those earrings are gorgeous. And so are the girls, always appropriately attired and lovely. They seem to be truly appreciative of these gifts and borrowed pieces, too.
