Bling-bling versions





I really hate the “bling-bling” versions of products, the kitsch trend in which anything covered with Swarovski crystals becomes a high-end luxury product, especially when it comes to technology or engineered products and I phone is not wanted product because it is expensive but because it is an intelligent phone, in the same idea a Mercedes is not a sought out product because it is expensive but because of its reliability and quality. I understand that the people who issue these “bling-bling” version of product have in mind the spiritual factor of social status and belonging , still the buyers must be really stupidly-rich and snob in order to purchase such a kitsch unreasonably priced products, just like the Swarovski toilet-the most relevant example.
