Dec 13 2007Contura: Diplay Your Profile In Ring Form
The Contura ring is a ring that displays your face in profile along the entirety of the band. You send the company a picture of your (or a loved one's) facial profile and it's custom cut into a ring. Prices start at $625 for stainless steel and go up to $5,730 for platinum. Neat, but I'm skeptical as to how accurate they are, and I suspect that they really just sell two rings - generic male and female ones. So I'm going to put them to the test. I'm sending them a picture with my tongue sticking out, a wicked goatee, and a unicorn horn affixed to my forehead. If it turns out to not be a hoax, at least I'll be getting my money's worth.

If I want to diplay pictures of my loved ones, I'll get a picture frame. Perhaps one of those new digital ones with a Liquid Crystal Diplay.

Order a Gene Simmons ring, that would be a surefire way to tell if it's real. Lord knows no one else in the world has a tongue quite like that. Then again, you'll have the unsettling displeasure of knowing that Gene Simmons's tongue is coming in contact with your hand.
