When I’m bored I like to look at outrageously expensive things and wonder; “Really? This is what people buy when money ain’t a thing?”. Mittens Romnobot has been a daily reminder of my own wretched, lowly middle classdom and I wonder; if I were rich like him what kind of crap would I buy?
So I invite you all to Play Along with me, trash talk with me, dream with me. I SAID PLAY WITH ME, DAGNABIT! You can play by guessing the price or stating what you would be willing to pay; whatever.
1. Here is a beautiful Engagement ring. It’s supposed to say I love you:
Ron Says “That’s Ornate and so diamond-y!” “I Actually don’t think it looks that bad”
Cherri Says “WTF is it? An evolving Jesus fish? A Minnie Mouse Barrette? I wish the love of my life would give me that ring, I would just hope it comes out sideways after I shove it down his throat”
Slaus thought it was good looking and that just says it all. ( slaus edit: fugg you, that gawdy shyt is beautiful!)
Guess The Price:
2. I know that many of you think you love your children, but you don’t. When they were babies you probably went to Target and bought a standard convertible crib, lovingly put it together and prayed it didn’t collapse and crush their tiny skulls. You did excellent jobs and 10 yrs later you’re all really proud of yourselves. NO! Wrong! You failed This is LOVE
Not 1, but TWO Precious Princess Baby Coach Cribs w/ changing tables!
Guess the Price:
3. Fast forward 4 years; Now your Precious Princess doesn’t know how to sleep in a normal bed cuz she really thinks she’s a Disney princess who sleeps in a stage coach. You really are a parental failure now. Your child thinks it’s ok to sleep in vehicles! Before long she’ll be living in a luxury RV and you’ll wonder where you went wrong and I’ll point to this moment. Ta and Da!
Guess the Price:
4. Th at isn’t paint, this is a transparent “Driftwood Object”. Slaus asked me what it does. Um . . . It is an object. A driftwood Object. I believe poor people like ourselves would perhaps use cinder blocks, bricks or rocks. I imagine we might use Driftwood Objects, but I can tell you without question we wouldn’t pay this price.
Guess The Price
5. This is a nightgown. A hideous, hideous nightgown. What is this monstrosity? Who looks good in this? The model doesn’t even look attractive in this. Is this what virgins wore on their honeymoons in 1953. The Hell? It’s like sexiness for Amish men.
Guess the Price:
6. This Manicure is made of real ground up black diamonds. So I guess it’s the cost of a manicure, plus the cost of some black diamonds that hopefully don’t snag on everything. I could ground up some grit or sand and black nail polish and rock it out for you if you want? Just let me know. Gravel, maybe?
Guess the Price:
7. This adorable little 1.25lb Dark Chocolate Turtle serves 7 people. Those people must be toothless and gum their food or eat with eyeballs because naw bitch naw. I ate 2 lbs of chocolate YESTERDAY! I just want to buy a colony of these little buggers and stick them in an aquarium with chocolate rocks and raise them and breed them. Their saving grace is their dark chocolateness because I’d have bitten the heads off milk chocolate ones and replaced them with toothpicks. Oh, yeah . . .
Guess the Price:
As always the winner gets a prize. So if you ever thought you could kick some ass on the price is right . . . Come On Down . . .

#6 is $250,000
Yes, you're right. Way to ruin my game! Now guess the price of the other stuff. You're having a baby girl, right?
Hopefully but knowing my luck it'll be another boy….I'll guess the other ones in a bit…hmmm
I'm Reserving this Space for later:
1. Costs: $97,000 – Yes. 2.5 cts of butt ugly will cost you 97,000 at Tiffany's. I would hit my man so hard he would look like a totally different man.
2. Costs: $23,000 – Those aren't convertible *see what I did there*. I mean how long do babies sleep in cribs? Where do you park those when they grow up?
3. Costs: $47,000 – Do you know what kind of real car you could buy for 47k?
4. Costs: $3,265 – Barney's for WOOD. Marinate on that people. It is an acrylic cube with a branch inside! For $3,000. I hate life. Contests to Aliciapdx (and kat_Coll w/ a close 2nd)
5. Costs: $677 – La Perla-Another win for Aliciapdx. I looked at the La Perla website and I'm not cut out yo be rich cuz I'm not spending 175 on an ugly thong. I'm so good on that.
6. Costs: 250,000 – Agen00tDivaCee gets the win!
7. Costs: 75.00 at Saks Fifth Avenue – No one wins when people CHEAT!
The only one I know the price of (without googling) is #6 and the price is $250,000.00. Apparently Kelly Osbourne had her nails painted with this stuff for the Emmys and now some folks are up in arms about the price tag.
Noooooo Gooooooogle. Google is cheating! Yes. You are correct
OK, I cheated on the chocolate turle's (they are $65.00) but in my defense I wanted to see if they had frogs by chance. AND THEY DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YaYYYYYYYYYY! I am so buying the frogs.
Are we guessing prices in money, or in owed sexual favors — because I don't see any point at all in that manicure, but I'm probably willing to negotiate.
How about you guess the price of that engagement ring for Beth, then don't buy that one cuz it's hiddy, but use the money to buy her a nice one and dog costumes for your cats.
dog costumes for his cats?
Bye Cher!!!
and yea that ring is rather gaudy … besides it yellow gold…that is so 1970's cheap looking…
These are all guesses (except #6)
1. $40,000 (I think those are bumble bees on either side of a solitaire – either way it's fugly, but then I don't like diamonds)
2. umm, 15K
3. I'll go with 20K
4. mm, I'll say 5K – why so much? Because someone will be convinced that's an "objet d'art".
5. I bet she's the cheapest thing on this list… I mean the nightgown and I'll say… 1K
6. 250K (I'm refraining from comment on the level of stupidity it requires to waste that kind of money)
7. $150 each. I'd just bite the heads off and leave 'em laying around a public area to melt or attract ants or something. Either way, money well spent freaking out folks.
I guessed that #5 was LaPerla and I Googled it to verify. I was right. Now I know the price but can't play because I Googled it.

Those ugly cribs are probably about $25,000. (not including the $2,000 crib sheets of course).
pssssh.. if I had a little girl, and the income to support it, please believe my simple azz would purchase this for my princess..

Speak of the devil

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth!!!!
1. ugly ring $125k
2. crib coach (didn't Bey get this form Kelly Rowlands) $90k
3. princess bed (prob same as above) $115k
4. $4k
5. $700 (I kind of like this in a naughty nun kind of way)
6. someone got it
7. someone got it
CONGRATS! I'm giving you 4 and 5. Well done!
country club childhood FTW
Well since I realize all this stuff is suppose to be grossly over priced… I will take a stab at it.
1. Ring – Probably around $50,000-60,000…. Which begs the question if you have big money to drop on a ring. Why buy a retail ring that anyone can have? And if that center stone is less than a 6 carat for 50/60 grand. You got robbed. (because that center stone to me looks like all of a carat to carat and half… so I know you got robbed!)
2. Ohhh now I have seen these style of cribs in person at a Dallas baby store. Seems like they were $14,500… with out sheets!
3. Okay that Cinderella carriage bed…. is $30,000? That thing is huge. I bet this is what Suri Cruise sleeps in every night. Since Katie manage to snatch it out of Tom's bedroom, on her way out the door.
4. Driftwood Object – $5.00 – Anything over that…. just makes you look stupid as hell for buying it. And I am pretty sure you can buy these off vendors on Galveston beach 2 for $5.00
5. Black nightgown – Circa @ 1953…. from the Elizabeth Taylor collection. I bet this bad boy is $500.00 – just because the uglier the gown… the more expensive it seems to be.
6. Those black nails look awful. Thick and lumpy. And would scratch your face every time they got near it.
7. Cute turtles. But not 75.00 cute.
The ring is 2.5 cts
So total carat weight is 2.5….
I am taking a guess that the center stone is not even 2 carats. Maybe somewhere around 1.75-1.85 With loose stones (maybe a carat or a little less) being used to make up those bee's.
Which I still think is would be grossly over priced at 50-60 grand.
(Top quality diamonds in Dallas are selling for $3500/$4000. per carat… which lets be real… is way too much. For that kind of money… I want to see quality emeralds.)
So I am going to sh*t, when you say it is priced way more than that….
Hmm, I'm not too sure about the price of the other objects but I've seen the ring before.
It's a Tiffany ring, I don't remember the price but in order to judge the full value of the ring I would have to know the 4 C's and the setting it was put in. However, based on the total carat weight alone and the brand of the ring I would have to say it would range anywhere from $85,000-$97,000.
NO! Wrong! You failed This is LOVE
I laughed so hard at this!
1. I'm guessing $70,000
2. $6,000
3. $13,000
4. $3,000
5. $900
6. $9,000
