16 Insane, Fabulous Things Covered in Rhinestones

Glitter Day is finally here, thank goodness. A key part of this LGBT centric winter holiday is to do absolutely whatever you feel like, and not worry about a damn thing.

That said, it’s always nice to give lavish, insanely expensive presents, especially to us! On Glitter Day, you can never have too much bling on your things, so we thought we’d offer a gift guide of insane, fabulous things covered in rhinestones. Don’t ask me about vajazzling your body parts or your iPhone.

Did I miss your favorite rhinestone covered thing? Post a photo of it in the comments section below. Just use the button to upload images below the “submit” button.

Pregnant Women

Vajazz Hot Baby! Not sure why someone would need a stock photo of a pregnant woman with rhinestones on her belly. What kind of brochure would this photo be good for? Why is she staring at me?

Leslie Hall’s Gem Sweaters

Leslie Hall was one of the first web celebrities due to the popularity of her flash-based videos for “Gem Sweaters.” Early in 2005 we followed her backstage as she got ready for her first live show in Chicago. She was a hit! Leslie is still going strong today and traveling all across the country spreading her Gem Sweater Gospel.

Liberace’s Balwdin Grand Piano

Yes, I’ve actually played this exact piano. While it’s mostly glass mirror, it truly is something to behold. What did I play on it? The theme to Xanadu of course! Although I’m sad the museum is closing its doors, I’m happy that many of these great rhinestone covered artifacts are going on tour across the country so that kids everywhere can enjoy the awesomeness that was Liberace.

Everything Liberace Ever Wore

Considered one of the greatest and most flamboyant entertainers of all time, Liberace inspired thousands of musicians including Elvis Presley to put a little bling into their stage shows. As Liberace liked to say: “too much of a good thing is won-der-ful!”

Damien Hirst’s Skull

Titled “For the Love of God” sculptor Damien Hirst took an 19th century skull he probably bought on eBay and covered the whole thing with dazzling, expensive Swarovski lead crystals. Hirst asked $100 million for the skull as a publicity stunt, which, if sold, would be the highest price ever paid for a contemporary artwork. Rumors are he never sold it and it’s sitting in box somewhere in his house. I’ve heard that posters of the skull are selling very well though.

Press On Nails

Katy Perry wore these nails to some fancy video awards show, but I can’t imagine them being very comfortable. How would you wipe your butt with these on? Did Katy Perry wear diapers that night? I bet after a while, fancy nails like these start smelling funny.

Magnifying Lens

If you buy two of these, you can use them to look at each other 4x in size.

Fishing Lures

This thing costs more than your car does. The only way to catch a very fashionable fish.

Microphones

Why should Mariah Carey have all the fun? Sennheiser makes a whole line of rhinestone covered wireless mics, and they even have a skull and crossbones model for the glamorous satanic mechanic in your band.

---

Shoes

Although the Home Shopping Network sold out of these dazzling pumps, I’m sure a quick search online will turn up many versions of this idea. Just be sure not to stop on any doggie poop, or you’ll have some poop covered rhinestone shoes. “Poop Covered Rhinestone Shoes” needs to be the title of a Glitter Day country western song.

Guns

You thought Mariah Carey was ghetto? Take a look at pop singer Erika Jane and her rhinestone covered gun. This is one diva you don’t want to mess with.

---

Licence Plate Covers

Cops pull you over just to see what kind of moron has this on their car.

---

Staplers

Feel like a diva at your desk job! Be the most glamorous staple fetishist at your next kinky party.

---

iPhone Earbuds

Sometimes you need to be a little uncomfortable to look fabulous!

---

Furniture

Lavish enough to make any Egyptian King feel jealous.

---

Equestrian Hat

Okay, so this one belonged to Michael Jackson. And you thought his glove was over the top? I can see some fashion designer making these popular with Nuyorican girls in the coming year.
