Bling My Thing Blog

Before showing off with some fabulous photos of this new Pentax K-m digital SLR camera, let me explain how amazing this camera is! According to Pentax, this camera is specially designed for entry level digital SLR photographers. It is a simplified, user-friendly camera with compact and lightweight body.

With our bling, this camera has reached the next level - while it takes you into the world of professional photography, it will certainly convert you into another BLING VICTIM! 

… I have a confession though: I had no idea what SLR meant! It stands for”single-lens reflex”, and “it uses an automatic moving mirror system which permits the photographer to see exactly what willbe captured by the film or digital imaging system, as opposed to non-SLR cameras where the view through the viewfinder could be significantly different from what was captured on film”.

HUH? Let me simplify that for you. Basically these cameras take much better photos than our small compact digital cameras, AND it has more area to be blinged!  The latter is definitely the most important point - the more bling, the more sparkly the world would become!

So ladies and gentlemen…. let us present you the new Pentax -m digital SLR camera with the BMT ornament design!

Ahhhhhhhhh! Look at that! A lot of effort went into creating this masterpiece… over 30 hours of hard work and thousands of crystals to fill the surface. The pattern is of course hand-painted prior to applying crystals. The colours we have used are: jet, light siam and crystal. Personally I would have used White Opal…

The camera is not the only thing which is blinged. The belt is also blinged with the elegant swirl pattern with Jet Hermatite, one of the most exclusive coated crystals available from Swarovski. It is metallic black so it has a very subtle, shimmering effect.

We are proud of this camera, and yes, really, we are looking forwaring to blinging more.

Here is the video

So now you know that manifying glasses are also in the list of things we have blinged so far. We have worked with Schweizer Optik (www.schweizer-optik.de), the leading manufacturer of optical devices.  Their successful line of magnifying glasses, the Ergo-Line, is now available as the Ergo-Line Exclusive, encrusted with Crystallized TM - Swarosvki Elements. Only 10,000 pieces are available!

Well, now that the Pope got hold of one, there are only 9,999 pieces available to us all! This marvelous piece has been given to the Pope Benedict XVI in Mainz, Germany, while he was greeting a group of visually impaired who was on their way to Rome.

What a holy piece of news! We heard about it today from them, and it really made us so happy that it has been finally given to him. Now we wish we knew who blinged those holy magnifying glasses

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

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 :)
