So - I imagine everyone is familiar with the First Bling charms and pendants in RL... anyone know if they can be had in-world?

No one has responded, so maybe it either does not exist or y'all aren't familiar - in any case, here is a link to where the things came from in RL:

We're familiar. We just can't stop laughing everytime it's mentioned to discuss that crap.

I'm sorry - why is it funny? It's just a cute little piece of jewelry and I thought it would be neat for the avi to wear one. Fill me in - what I miss?

The RL version, at least, is pretty cheesey and looks a bit like a cult symbol.

I'm not sure if there even is an ingame version.. But the real life one looks like something a pimp from the 70's would wear :/ _____________________

Not only that, but you can't buy the RL version using L either! *giggles* I wouldn't mind it if it cost less than 15 USD, because I could at least add it to my RL key chain. *mutters about allergy to nickel and having to be too darned picky* _____________________

As the first thing to come out of SL into RL, for some people, the flavor of cheese represented by "First Bling" is... amusing at best, unsavory at the very least. _____________________

Frankly I have seen the pendant worn in RL by a very beautiful woman. I have added it to my list of Tatoos to place on my body. Anyone have a suggestion on where to put it?

funny qeustion.... didn't LL trademark that stupid symbol? I realize it wouldn't hold up to other usages derived from the original symbol, in different markets, but it should surely be enough for them to stop someone from profiting on their imagery and name in RL (what with the direct mention).
that said, I'm laughing too... as much as I hate blingtards in SL why would I want to emulate them in RL? or more bluntly, I have ADD, that doesn't make me a tweaker. _____________________

Actually, if you've ever played Myst or Riven, or the new online Uru - you'd see that this was used long before SL came about.

The only inworld version I've seen was around the neck of Plexus Linden.
