In 26 long years, I have yet to pierce my ears. If these diamonds came to live with me, we'd have to start of as acquaintances at first. Once they proved that they were dependable, I'd like to introduce them to the family.

After proving some more loyalty, I should hope we will become best friends. Even though its a shame that your BF will consistently be prettier than you and always look their best.
#18 Mel on 2009-03-02 11:56

A Diamond is a girl's best friend because it's forever; it's not afraid of commitment and has always been there, even if it's a diamond in the rough. They will never lie to you when your butt really looks fat when you ask because they'll help your butt look small by making you look beautiful.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend because they can bring out a woman's inner sparkle through a subtle glittering hint on the earlobes or delicate fingers. They can show that she is outgoing and a dynamic show stopper with a statement necklace or glamarous bracelet. All in all they show the world that a woman can either be a flirty vixen or a beautiful and coy swan but either way she is strong and demands to be known.
#40 IndigoViolet on 2009-03-02 22:16
Diamonds are a symbol for love. From my engagement ring to my wedding ring, I look down upon my hand and smile knowing I am loved.
