Diamonds are Forever ~Shirley Bassey
My Mum took me jewelry shopping a few months ago…..
She asked me if I would like a diamond ring……..
Naively I answered “Ma, I don’t want to jinx it…….I’d rather a guy buy me my first diamond ring” (WHAT?? …..r*e*w*i*n*d…….WHAT??………………..because I am worth it like that???? again …HUH????)
Seriously what was I thinking? Where did that come from??
Such a cringe worthy statement from me…..
Unbelievable……
Makes me want to bite my tongue in retrospect….
And Hello!! I have been singing Shirley’s anthem……like forever now………….
“Diamonds are forever”, ……sings Dame Bassey……I did not forget it Miss. Bassey….
“They are all I need to please me” roger that……..
We are a weird lot……
Us women……programmed to love shiny sparkly things from childhood……
Rock those rocks like that…..bling this bling that….
“They won’t leave in the night,
I’ve no fear that they might desert me”
True that sista!
Ok I have a headache and I am too tired to remove the cobwebs in my brain tonight….
I love this song……
It speaks to me……..(and I am sure it speaks to the other 3 billion women on the planet…..)
“Diamonds are forever” Trufax……Trufax…..
“I can see every part,
Nothing hides in the heart to hurt me”
Like this song is about men…..but not really……..Its about diamonds….
I don’t care how Mrs. Jay Z crooned about single women and putting a ring on it…..
Let me just tell her……”Honey…….He put a ring on it……please for Pete sake……Girl don’t sing like you know ….You aint single no more…”…..No offense B……honestly he did put a planet on your finger……
Miss Bassey rules as far as the Diamonds department is concerned…..even Kanye agrees…..
Makes me wonder though what happens to the diamond rings when women die? I don’t mean that in crass heartless way……..
I want to know…….all those Diamond rings…..what happens to them? are they recycled? or become hand downs?
I need to know….
Cause I am not looking to have one from tiffany’s………lets just say A*N*T*I*Q*U*E is the word I am looking for…..
(Hey a girl can dream…….let her!)
“Diamonds are forever,
Sparkling round my little finger.
Unlike men, the diamonds linger;
Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for”
Truest words ……….I want to increase the font size on the last 2 lines………….
“Men are mere mortals who
Are not worth going to your grave for”
I guess…..that is enough for today…….
To end in a very grand fashion………hell with all the cuts……princesss, emerald, carats or carrots……………
For the record I don’t really care………..
“I don’t need love,
For what good will love do me?
Diamonds never lie to me,
For when love’s gone,
They’ll luster on.”
