We were shopping the other day and passed the Gucci jewelry boutique on Via Rodeo II and I had thought the Gucci store moved from its former location (the two story monster in the middle of Rodeo Drive) but upon closer inspection, we realized it was the Gucci fine jewelry store. Uh, Gucci fine jewelry? WTF? I decided to check the line out and could not believe the retail prices, a gold chain with a small purple amethyst for $4,000? Why wouldn't you go to Cartier for a love bracelet bangle with a DIAMOND for the same price?

And check out the lame logo earrings above for $1,775 with only .23 ct of diamonds - no I am not kidding, that is how much they really are! I know, they look like $25 Chinatown knockoffs don't they? And for the privilege of displaying the Gucci logo loudly on a ring, the price is $2,100. Who would waste money on this crap? You can see it at Saks online if you want a good laugh.

Remember your first kiss with dorky Billy from the 8th grade who had braces? You dumped him cuz your friends laughed at him and called him brace face. Now if only Billy had these $500,000 assher cut diamond 'grillz' on his teeth like Baby and Lil Wayne maybe you woulda thought twice before dumping him cuz everytime you kissed him you could have taken a diamond or two. For those of you not down with the latest in ghetto bling, 'grillz' are hand made gold/platinum and diamond molds that fit on your teeth. Dental impressions are taken and your custom teeth molds are ready in just two weeks. Just what you always wanted right? Jewelry for your teeth. Leave it to the rappers to think up more tacky ways of adorning themselves.

Paul Wall and TV Johnny, grillmakers to the stars. They are as scary and gross as the rappers they design for.

If you want to be a psycho ghetto rapper for Halloween you can get the same look with these lesser priced teeth grillz at $550 - $1,000.
