We’ve blinged many LCD TVs before… but THIS, was by far the hottest piece we have ever worked on. It is amazing to see how strong Fuchsia crystals are! Simple designs can be so strong. I seriously thought of keeping it to myself!Paris Hilton came to Germany some days ago and this was a little surprise present for the heirness. I thought that Fuchsia and Jet combination would the best for a grown-up IT girl… I love Rose and Light Rose but they are rather… girly. I think Fuchsia has more personality and I just love it unconditionally.Shame that there wasn’t much to bling apart from the frame of this stunning 40″LCD TV - over 14,000 CRYSTALLIZED TM - Swarovski Elements were used to complete this masterpiece.If I had this TV, I wouldn’t use it to watch TV because it will surely distract me. Ideally it should rotate under a spotlight in the middle of my living room… ahhhhh it would be so cool!!!This TV would certainly make the world the more sparkly place

It was a pleasant surprise to see that many bloggers followed up on my previous article about our blinged Chevrolet Captiva. One blogger wrote at the end of his article: “Wonder what happens the first time you hit a carwash…”.  I would like to get some facts straight in order to prove that these blings are for real, and they stay on for a long time!First of all, the Captiva, which was presented in the motorshow, is not one of those  fragile, dust-free show-cars, but it’s been driven on a busy road in Bangkok everyday. Our crystals stay on for a long time, and being scrubbed in a carwash does absolutely no damage on our crystallized surface. It’s all because of our specially formulated glue and years of know-how in applying crystals

We wash it every week (thanks to smog in Bangkok) and so far no crystal has come off from the car. Some kids even tried to scratch some off the car thinking that they are diamonds. So far they have only managed to break their nails off!

To prove the point further, we even took the ride to Koh Chang, a rather primitive island (although second largest one in Thailand) over the Songkran festival, the Thai version of New Year celebration. There awaited: dirt road, dusts, sand, lots of water and people who throw nasty white powder at every opportunity they get!

According to Wikipedia: “The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people, by capturing the water after it had been poured over the Buddhas for cleansing and then using this “blessed” water to give good fortune to elders and family by gently pouring it on the shoulder. Among young people the holiday evolved to include dousing strangers with water to relieve the heat, since April is the hottest month in Thailand (temperatures can rise to over 100°F or 40°C on some days). This has further evolved into water fights and splashing water over people riding in vehicles.”

So you can imagine what can happen when you drive during this period of time. People are waiting for you at 10m interval by the road, or many equip themselves with barrels of ice-cold water, water-guns and buckets…. and they show no mercy in making others soaking wet.  I wonder if anyone stays dry! What’s really nasty is the white powder… they just throw it over your car and smear it all over your face (if you ride a bike, you are wet AND white all over!).

This is the picture of our car a day after we arrived at the island.

Our car got dirtier during our stay but when we took it to the carwash in Bangkok….it all came off perfectly without any damage to the bling!

The carwash guys found it funny to discover all these sparkly crystals underneath all that dirt

Today I read an article about a teenage boy from England, who just changed his name to “Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine The Hulk And The Flash Combined”.  What an awesome name…! If I could change my name, it would be something like “Ayano Also Known As The Mother of All Blings Who Just Wants To Make The World The More Sparkly Place”. How wicked would it be!

I was thinking, it would be a nightmareif he wanted to order some bling from us with his initials, then it would be CFFTSSBWTHATFCG…  Then I would say…. “could you consider just using your first name, “Captain”?

In Japan nobody has a second name. There is just one name so it is very simple. I really do not understand the point of having more than one name…. although, I always dreamt of having an English middle name when I was a little girl :) I envied my friends from Hong Kong who could just have English names… once I even met a girl who was called “Milk”! 

I just worked on an iPhone case with the coolest initials, which is A.A.A. Amna is a young, talented professional photographer from Qatar, and wow, it look amazing. A is also my initial & favourite alphabet so when I received a request from her, I felt jealous - wow, this person has 3 of my initials! So cool! Never thought that 3 of the same initials can be so vivrant!

This was the first time we used the new colour “Indian Pink”. Amna wanted to have her initials AAA on the background of Ruby to go on the iPhone case… but since this design comes in a gradation, we needed to come up with another colour. The choice was either this Indian Pink or Burgundy. The latter would have made the whole design more subtle and darker, so she went for the first colour to go with Ruby. It was the most amazing colour combination we have ever seen! We have seen a plenty of “pink” combinations so going for such a new combination was very refreshing for us.  So thank you Amna for giving us the inspiration, and now we have discovered the charm of Indian Pink… !  Soon I would love to try three colour gradation. Burgundy, Ruby to Indian Pink. I think it would be very beautiful.

I love A. Especially if it is not symmetric. It has more interesting character than any other round initials.  For me “A” is confidence, self-conscious and know where it stands! lol, it is just an alphatbet but hey, I am attached to it!

Finally an article about us was published in the TIME magazine with a stunning picture of a BMW motorbike blinged with Swarovski crystals.

 http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1841866,00.html 

We have had many press coverages but TIME? We were so proud of ourselves to be in such an international magazine! Yay! 

Even Reuters reacted to Yasmin’s article in TIME and they came to film us early this week.

It was a fun interview although doing an interview both in German and English was really strange. I think my brain thinks and works differently when I am in a certain language mode. Joanna, the journalist, asked me the same questions in both languages, and I had completely different answers. Amazing. I wonder what I would have said in Japanese?

Talking of Japan, we also appeared in the largest national TV channel in Japan (NHK) - the whole thing was about us introducing the Japanese “deko-den” culture to Europe and being successful blah blah blah, but it was amazing because they gave something like 10 minutes for it. It is a big deal - sounds very short, but it is a damn good coverage! Shame, I haven’t had a chance to see it yet!!! I hope they can send us the DVD soon… I am soooooooooooooo curious because they are the only one so far who has filmed our cadillac in action!

Oh, few weeks ago I was also interviewed by a radio DJ in Ireland - www.spin1038.com is the website for this station, The Spin. My first live radio interview. It was fun!

Actually both Reuters and the Spin wanted to know, what the weirdest objects we have ever blinged. For Reuters, it was the electric screw driver from Bosch. For the Spin, the vibrator! Well, I know where and how I should behave :) When I find some time, I will post another thread solely dedicated to these precious little toys, but for now, it’s time to say… LATER! got to get some beauty sleep :) 

I have been a big fan of Sex and the City.  I still haven’t seen the film yet but many of my friends have been telling me that Carrie Bradshaw still carries a cellphone encrusted with Swarovski crystals!  I was thriled to hear this - but of course I am quite curious to know who has done it, and more over, I really want to see what it looks like!

For a fashion-savvy person like Carrie, a cellphone embellished with pink crystals is simple a “must” item…. Pink is always a great colour to have.

But in an ideal world: shouldn’t Carrie be carrying more than one cellphones with various designs matching her every outfit? That would be so amazing…

When we started, there was a company called NYC Peach. I visited their website some time ago but it was closed. I really wonder what happened?

Well, if you are looking for an alternative, I am sure we would be able to help you. Visit our website www.bling-my-thing.com and choose a perfect design for your favourite items!
