So many times I wanted to quit. But my better angels prevailed. Thank you all for sticking by me during this wilderness period. (Special thanks to you, Meg Cabot.)
The tiara is one of 29 to be auctioned off through the end of January -- all for a very good cause (to teach girls to read or something). These are charitable efforts, so really all the tiaras are special. They're all made with love, heart and good intentions.
That's why I don't want to point out the flaws in the others. (It's clear which one will fall apart as soon as you get it home.) Also, while most of them are pretty, some are obviously more imaginative than others.
Then there's the safety issue: Julianne Moore's tiara is perfect ...
... if you want to die a death like Isadora Duncan's.
And I do like Princess Marie-Chantal of Greece's tiara. It's pretty cool. But buttons? That's it?
The 11th book in the Princess Diaries series? Princess at the Dollar Store. (For the record, I purchased my antlers from The Antler Shack and they didn't come cheap.)
Bobby Brown's tiara is pretty amazing:
Who knew that Whitney Houston's ex had so much crafting talent?
Look, I'm not interested in trash-talking the other tiaras. But I do think that the highest bids should go the most original, carefully crafted one:
And yes, the two babies represent Trig and Tripp.

16. Please don't cry, Palin lovers. Man up for goodness sakes!
I promise that I'll stop picking on your girl, as soon as the media stops praising her for "energizing" the G.O.P.
Yeah, she energized it so much that it LOST!
And, she's smiling all the way to infamousity.

Oh, for Petey's sheets, Mr. Rocca... You know how much I tried... I think your rack is stellar.
I'm a little down, @ the moment.
I hope you "win".

21. Let's see....How long has Palin been out of the spotlight now? Can't you come up with something new? There's plenty of Obama fodder out there. I thought you'd lay off Palin after embarrassing yourself with the eye glasses fiasco, when you were rippng on the cost of Palin's glasses, and it turns out that yours are way more expensive. What an 'effing' loser! Is making an idiot out of yourself part of the job description?

22. The tiara deserves an accessory. I'd like to see a velcro baby with designer shoulder pad for news conferences, perhaps with sparkle and some embedded sounds like Heavenly Host etc.

I sure hope your being down is temporary Sherry.

24. Me too, Sherry! Smile, though your heart is aching ... Smile, even though it's breaking ... when there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by ...
