Bring Back Some Bedazzle



I spend a lot of time travelling around Asia and one of the things I love about it is the people. I love how quirky they are. You never quite know what they’re going to be into.

One of the best things I’ve seen yet is this taxi in Singapore.

I happened to hail this one down at the airport and was surprised to hop in and see that it was bejewelled like no other taxi that’s gone before. The entire interior of the car, from the dash to the glove box to the doors was completely covered in sparkles.

This could only be the work of a BeDazzle!

You may remember The BeDazzle that initially surfaced in the 1970’s. It was a 'simple tool used to fasten glitzy rhinestones, studs and patches to clothes and other materials.'

It was voted #100 in the Top 100 Gadgets of all Time, although a commentator in Entertainment Weekly magazine did once describe the BeDazzle as: "The cheap-ass rhinestone-studding tool favoured by art teachers and over-excitable mums everywhere, the biggest piece of crap sold on late-night TV since the Thighmaster and the reason women own shirts with glittery kitty-cats on them."

You can still buy them from www.asseenontv.com for $19.95 USD

This is their current sales pitch taken directly from their website:

‘HOW DO YOU TAKE SOMETHING FROM DULL TO DAZZLING? You BeDazzle it with the Original BeDazzler Stud and Rhinestone Setter!

Yes, the BeDazzler is back again and it’s the fashion craze of the season.

Even if you've never threaded a needle, you’ll be BeDazzling in minutes.

You can BeDazzle a hat, a shirt, a belt, a scarf or a sweater! It's easy. It’s fun. It’s fabulous!

You get the original BeDazzler plus all the rhinestones, studs and stars you'll need! Don’t be dull - BE DAZZLING! - with the better than ever BeDazzler!’

Bring back some bedazzle, I say.
