Jan 29 - Another pair of Diamonique Earrings

Remember I said Donna liked the sparkly earrings. Well, here's another pair only these are the small ones. I think I still have to show a mid-size and large pair yet. Not going to show all of them that I have because even thought they all look different, you might get pretty tired of seeing them. These are about 1/2 the size of the earrings from the other day. So sparkly, so pretty...no wonder why they say "diamonds are a girl's best friend."

Carol Channing sang that in the 1949 film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", by Marilyn Monroe in 1953 in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (isn't that a short span between the two movies, and again by Nicole Kidman in "Moulin Rouge." "Moulin Rouge is one of my favorite shows; love to watch and listen to Liza Minnelie. Others who sang it or versions of it include Ethel Merman ( and you say who but wow Ethel was a great singer), Lena Horne who happens to be one of my brother's favorite singers, Della Reese, Julie London, Eartha Kitt, and Emmylou Harris to name a few. Obviously the song was a hit. In 1998 it was in the top 100 singles in France and sung by Anna Nicole Smith.

It's been around and I bet it we'll be hearing it again and again. After all, diamonds are a girl's best friend. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamonds_Are_a_Girl's_Best_Friend
