| This item was a great product. The shipper sent it quickly. I found it later however on a different website for less money and wish I would have shopped around a little more first. |
Great

Those Endearing Young Charms

When I got my first charm bracelet I was already a grown man. Yes, as a boy I had owned one or two charms--lucky amulets to protect me from the evil spirits known to haunt my childhood home in Smithtown (Long Island)--but I was too bashful to wear them on a bracelet, fearing taunts from bullies, fearing being considered a "sissy." So I kept my charms under my pillow, and when others found them I pretended I was hoarding them to give to an unspecified "girlfriend." Let's see, I had an angel, a piano, and a--what do you call those things graduates wear on their heads? Graduation caps? I also had a pewter rabbit, so cute, with onyxes for eyes and whiskers made out of actual rabbit whiskers. I acquired them by stealth, trading them for marbles, took the SAT exams for others, and one, I'm ashamed to say, I took off the bracelet of a girl I knew who had passed away tragically of the mastoid.
Boyish daydreams die hard, but by the time I was thirty I had utterly forgotten that I had wanted a charm bracelet my entire life. Isn't that funny how things work? Then a close friend and mentor showed me her Italian charm bracelet and all of a sudden, I was hooked again. There's a new, Italian way of doing these things, sharp and chic as a tattoo on Asia Argento's pelvis. These new Italian charm bracelets click right into each other, link by link, with the visionary synthesis of Ettore Sottsass (who pioneered these bracelets in the 1960s). See this cute charm of a smiling monkey? It protects me from the swirling influences of those jealous of my accomplishments as a literary author, as well as being the one I go to for a quick injection of cheer. Just as many who own GPS devices in their automobiles wind up naming the spirited female voice calculating their route for them, so I have named my little monkey.
"Sam," in case you're curious. The bracelet I wear on my right wrist has twenty links, most of them animals, but also licensed Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Snow White, and more. Other licensed charms include Red Hat Society, Elvis, Beatles, Barbie, Coca Cola, Madeline, Garfield, Hello Kitty, Betty Boop, Peanuts, Archie Comics, and sports. And "Phantom of the Opera." |
