Definitely Weird

         Well, I opted to read weird news. Too much coverage has been doom and gloom with mass shootings and accidents. I had no difficulty accessing strange stories. Yep, there's no shortage of the bizarre in this world . There's no accounting for the crazy.

          Pretty much everyone recognizes the designer name Yves Saint Laurent, correct? It's usually synonymous with haute couture which is a fancy French term for expensive designs. Um, I discovered something pricey all right. Even if I had unlimited spending potential I would not purchase this item. All the money in the world does not buy good taste. This originated from a renowned fashion house?

         Okay, I cannot reproduce a drum roll here, or flash drapery in a dramatic reveal, so here it is. YVS is selling penis jewellery. For a mere 215 pounds, or approximately $345, I could, if I felt so inclined, own a pair of golden brass penis earrings. As if....! Not to permit the dangle earrings to be worn alone, one could elect to order a matching pendant for 520 pounds. Genital geegaws! Why would anyone choose to bedeck themselves in such a manner?

         I have no idea if this piece of news is verifiable. I will state that if I should ever strut and sashay with dangling brass penises, I will be certifiable.
