Granted, being a whore is probably a better job than being a writer for Jamie Foxx. People that buy this product are stupid. Especially if they hock out a grand for. Tell you what, give me 500 bucks and I'll show up at your daughter's birthday with a garden hose. It'll be the same experience in the end, but at least you'll have a great story about the crazy guy who sprayed your family, friends, loved ones, and daughter's friends with a hose before you had him arrested. Instead, you now have a bunch of empty bottles with delightfully generic designs. Best part, they'll be worth dick-all, precisely because they are mass-produced and not handmade. The sad part of this entire equation is that at the end of the story, Mr. Boyd will be a millionaire, thanks entirely to a group of people rich enough to buy his product yet lacking entirely in common sense. BLING BLING YO!

I found the bottles to be beautifully designed (I purchased the Pink one) and her friends tell me that they have them on their shelves now as a decoration/reminder of party. In this day and age we have too many people boasting that we live in a Democracy, but then insisting on judging people for what they wish to buy and how to spend their money. I find this really quite unfair, and somewhat dictatorial. I didn't mind splashing out for my daughter's special day and it brought joy to the guests who recieved them. That is all that matters to me. The boys from Aqua Amore were very polite and helpful, and provided a quality service. That is also what is very important and something which money cannot buy readily. From that perspective I see no harm in my purchase of Bling H2O. <a href="http://www.aqua-amore.com" rel="nofollow">Bling H2O UK - Aqua Amore</a> I recently purchased 20 bottles for my daughter’s 18th Birthday party from Bling H2O’s UK distributors – Aqua Amore (I put the address above).

As for Bling, God I hate the naked ass and pearls in their ads! I saw the Evian Palace Bottles on Ebay, they do have much more class than the bling, I like the embossed stainless steel parts.

Has anyone seen the Evain Palace Bottles? They're also mass-produced but somehow have more taste. Plus the water is from a well-known, established source.

I shouldn't get too harsh on this product. From my perspective, it seems goofy. However, if I had as much initiative as the founders, I would be making Bling H2O as well. I commend their drive and ability to find a niche market of water for celebrities. It's genius. It's a beautiful product, great imagery, great name. It's just... it's just there's something about paying $60 for a bottle of water that sickens me. Have you ever seen a Gucci bag made? I have. They are meticulously crafted in these little shops scattered throughout Florence and its surrounds. They make the most beautiful bags and people get what they pay for. So, "luxury" to me means so much more than just making something expensive and putting a few crystals on the bottle. It means supporting the craft of artisans that have well honed skills. Luxury products are essentially "green" design because if something is really well made it will not break or it will be passed down. Let's not get started on how un-green the bottled water industry is. It's a fucking joke. Still, I love the idea of making hella cash off the backs of annoying celebrities. I'm conflicted.
