Bling

I shot an “Out of the Box” video for the Dolce & Gabbana Razr yesterday. Man, that thing is ugly. I think I might watch it again just to see how many times I say the word “bling.”

Coolshades V, and you’re right, that is ugly.

Also, I got a Bling count of 5.

It seems to me to be in the strain of “fancy” watches, particularly men’s, that are the standard silver and gold. I actually thought it looked kinda nice :/ Although the startup/shutdown voice was supa-lame. Perhaps weirdest: It reminded me of Transformers, and I have no idea why. (And ‘blingblockers’ got a chuckle)

Nice work Veronica, very entertaining. When you pulled open the box to reveal the blingy razr, it looked to me like some kind of retainer/night guard that Lil’ Jon might wear. I also loved your Paris Hilton-esque “that’s hot” response to the “good-bye” D&G chime when you turned the phone off.

I think you may have misused the term “dongle” for the wrist-strap with the D&G charms on it. But that’s a minor quibble.

I was also reminded of a couple scenes from The Devil Wears Prada one of which is where the main character, Andrea, who isn’t quite obsessed by fashion, answers the phone to take a message and asks the person to spell “Gabbana.” You are far hipper than that, but I did get the sense, rightly so, that you thought such a blingtacular phone was absurd. And it is.

Criss, that is one pretentious phone. We lack a word in the English language to describe its distasteful aesthetics.

I don’t know whether to be ashamed that I’ve never heard of Dolce & Gabbana or proud. I think I’m gonna go with proud.

at least you can use it to blind your assailants.

Nice shades V, they went really well with that phone (isn’t that phone a bit of bling overkill?)
Kato September 27th, 2006 at 6:58 pm 15

That’s the shit right there!

Incidentally, I found “Clearly this isn’t your normal box” to be highly amusing, though I’m sure it wasn’t intended to be.

that phone is rather tacky though I would love to see someone make a Prada PDA. (see it even has a nice ring to it)
