Last week, rapper Lil Uzi Vert, who, let’s face it, many of us hadn’t even heard of, announced that he had gotten a new piercing, none other than his forehead, with a pink diamond of proportions. Not negligible, but do you think he’s the only one doing the … I mean, things like this? Amanda Seyfried has a stuffed miniature horse (yes, it’s serious) and another rapper, Flavor Flav, has an OJ Simpson sculpture, Tom Cruise owns his own ultrasound machine, and so on. Because when you have too much money, you are likely to become, say, too creative? to spend it.
And in the tutorial, will pandemic fashion continue in the spring?
Lil Uzi Vert and his 24 million dollar diamond piercing
A few days ago, rapper Lil Uzi Vert revealed in a video on his Instagram account his new piercing: a pink marquise cut diamond of almost 11 carats. The stone, which he placed on his forehead because, of course that is where it is most visible, has, to say of himself, a cost of 24 million dollars! that according to his tweet, he has been paying in “easy installments” since 2017.
In the video, the diamond appeared to be out of alignment with his nose – and, well, the rest of his face – and the internet, being what it is, was quick to poke fun at, but, Lil Uzi soon clarified that it was due to that the skin was still inflamed and that once the swelling went down it would be in the right place. And so that there were no doubts, a couple of days later he posted a photo with a balaclava and the piercing already in its final place. Like he did not like that instead of admiring his jewel, they criticized it!
Lady Gaga and her ghost detection machine
We all know that Gaga is, let’s say, somewhat eccentric, her outfits have included everything from Kermit the Frog stuffed animals to eyeless masks, claws, and raw meat. She even refers to herself as the “monster mom” of her “little monsters” (her fans). So what is this exotic woman spending her well-earned dollars on? Well, one of his “investments” is aimed at detecting paranormal activity around him. According to The Mirror, Gaga spent several thousand dollars on electromagnetic field sweepers and other equipment to remove “evil spirits” and “dark energy” before her Monster’s Ball concert in London in 2010. According to the Daily Star , I felt the presence of a ghost named Ryan.
But he is not the only ghost that has “stuck” to Gaga, as he told Harper’s Bazaar, designer Alexander McQueen communicates with her from heaven. “I didn’t write the f … song ‘Born this way’, it was him!” He told the publication.
Johnny Depp “shot” the ashes of a writer
The recently disgraced Johnny Depp, aka Captain Jack Sparrow, is also known for his strange personality. Their roles, most of the time, tend towards the bizarre and out of the norm; just remember Edward Scissorhands or the Mad Hatter.
This strange personality also translates into some of her purchases, for example, on a sudden whim she bought a $ 400,000 diamond bracelet. “It’s my money, if I want to buy 15,000 cotton balls a day, it’s my business,” he told the Wall Street Journal.
Depp revealed to Rolling Stone magazine that he spent a not inconsiderable $ 5 million to throw the ashes of writer Hunter S. Thompson into the sky, and let’s not forget his wine budget: “It would be rude to say that I spend 30 thousand dollars worth of wine but that’s not true either, because it’s so much more, “he told Rolling Stone.
Kanye West, his picture of Whitney and his hologram
Another “strange” personality? Kanye acquired that infamous photograph of Whitney Houston in the bathtub in his worst phase of drug addiction because it “seemed artistic to him” and because, according to him, it had the same energy as the Daytona album he made with Pusha T, so he paid $ 85,000 for the license.
And the last birthday present he gave to his still wife, Kim, on her 40th birthday, a hologram in which her father Robert speaks to her from beyond, may have cost, according to the Refinery 29 site, between 2 and 8 millions of pesos!
Kylie Jenner and her amusement parks
“I earn my money, I have my businesses and I feel that I am an inspiration to many girls who want to get ahead on their own,” the reality star and millionaire businesswoman told Glamor magazine, although, according to her, she does not like to spend a lot “Only in my cars.”
However, the costs of their parties do not seem to agree with this statement. When her daughter, Stormi, turned one, Kylie spent a fortune turning her mansion into a Disney-style amusement park. According to the Daily Mail, Jenner was inspired by her then-partner and Stormi’s father Travis Scott’s taste for Six Flags AstroWorld park in Houston. At the party there were, in addition to huge rides, the live performance of Baby Shark and the “gifts” were from Chanel. Not satisfied with this, Kylie repeated StormiWorld on the little girl’s second birthday, spending at least $ 100,000 on the celebration, according to the newspaper.
Hello Guru:
Spring is practically here and I would like to ask you if you would invest in a seasonal wardrobe, given the situation …
Clara
Hi Clara:
In my opinion, most of us who can work remotely will continue to do so for a few months, if not indefinitely. That said, the pants, joggers, and leggings you’ve been wearing all this time will be “tired” and overly covering. I would buy a pair of light joggers with corresponding tops, a new pair of leggings in basic colors: gray and black or navy and black, a pair of tops to accompany them and a pair of comfortable and light dresses. No more. Hope this is over soon and we can enjoy fashion!
Guru Kisses, XOXO
