Mrs. Potato Head's Got $1,500 Worth of Bling

Remember how cool we thought we were when no long had to stick toothpicks into our actual straight-from-the-ground potato to play Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head Get Married? The plastic potatoes are soooo 1980, honey.

Because now Mrs. Potato Head's got bling.

Covered from head to, well, head, in Swarovski crystals, the Lady Spudiva is also way out of our price range. She runs a cool grand and a half over at Crystal Icing.com (although she's currently 10 percent off! Such a deal!)

So we're hoping this isn't meant FOR kids. Anyone, anyone, Bueller? Because my daughter has a habit of smashing Play-Doh into that big butt flap on the back of her (crystal-free) tuber.

What do you think parents, spectacular or spit up?

Stick it to - and on - Mr. Potato Head

Jessica Alba's Tricycle Brings the Bling

Chris Ford — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:45:00 GMT

Earlier this month Jessica Alba's friends threw her a baby shower, and like I mentioned before, the guests went home with a goodie bag of their own. Well, according to E! Online, one of the presents was this Swarovski Crystal encrusted tricycle by Glitzy Bella. Want to know how much? You'll have to click through the jump...

I called a place where they sell them (the Hard Rock Store at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino here in Las Vegas) and they told me that they go for $2,000. I'm wondering though, does one actually bring it to the park? And what happens when the crystals start to fall off? What kind of glue do you use to put Swarovski crystals back into a tricycle?

Who says the rich have it easy?

Check them out at GlitzyBella.com (beware of the annoying music that automatically plays though...)

Black Bling for the Nursery

It’s interesting to see how home haute couture translates into baby’s boudoir. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I’m still trying to figure this one out. Clearly it’s a scaled down (and priced down) reinterpretation of Baccarat’s black Zenith Chandelier, which by the way retails for a jaw-dropping $ 82,800. For 30 bucks maybe it’s worth it to get a baby version.

It might not be made of Baccarat lead crystal and black onyx, but this night light from Tadpole Basics sure has the look. In case you have a traditional streak in you and feel that black isn’t for babies, it’s also available in the more mainstream clear crystal.
