Suck on it!

Sometimes I get a little extravagant when it comes to buying presents for other people’s children. I’ve been known to buy some ridiculously expensive Baby Dior (Christian Dior) items or children’s Prada Sport sneakers but this is one stroller ride away from completely insane: It looks like it belongs in the mouth of a baby rapper….talk about bling! It's a bling-ky! This binky can be purchased for $17,000 at http://www.itsmybinky.com/. It’s made of 278 pave cut white diamonds totaling 3 carats with a 14K European nickel-free white gold base. Ridiculous! Here’s what the website has to say about what is probably the world’s most expensive binky:

An exact replica of a real pacifier, Diamond Pacifiers features a genuine silicone nipple and a real moving handle. Pacifiers can be customized with colored diamonds and engraved with baby’s name or initial, birth date or birth weight. Though we do not recommend actual use, the Diamond pacifier makes a fabulous, upscale keepsake and will become a new classic to that of bronzing baby shoes!

Who knows, maybe when the baby turns 18 they’ll melt it down and make some diamond/white gold grillz. In a wonderful marketing strategy, itsmybinky.com have given Shiloh Nouvel Pitt-Jolie one of these sparklers. World’s most expensive binky for the world’s most popular baby!!! (Please, she’s so much more famous than Suri. Suri was so one month ago!) For the actual cost of the binky (less than $17,000), they get some pretty good publicity. A smart move for the company because I can’t see $17,000 binkies, not recommended for use, as a huge trend. Then again, a majority of that publicity is on blogs, where most people won’t spend $17,000 on a car less than a binky. Except for Celebhijinx readers, of course. Our readers are total class!
