Anyways, we happened to be on a day excursion to Manchester and my fellow literary brethren and I wandered into, of all places, a bookstore.<br />
However, this was no ordinary bookstore. There happened to be a child’s shop above the rows of books, brightly colored and sounding of tinkling, child’s music. After making friends with a cashier and embarassingly asking her if she happened to have a squirrel shaped silly band (and then having her introduce us to her friend the squirrel who happened to be a stuffed animal victim to her amateur ventriloquism) we stumbled back to the safety of the register.<br />
It was there that I found myself fondling the mother of all gems truly intended for use by children. Dash it!, these children’s bracelets were not made to hang feebly on the wrist of a little one. And, no, they’re not the next Silly Bandz…<br />
<br />
They’re these <a href="http://www.getmogo.com/" target="_blank">MOGO</a> bracelets,<br />

I have two right now that I wear individually or link to one another to create a wrap bracelet- Oh yeah they link!! Mine are getting a bit worn because I can’t get over the compliments I get...<br />

I'm wearing them below linked as a wrap bracelet.<br />

Then much to my surprise when I look to buy more, the online retailer the site links me to is Neiman Marcus and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG2XQGYRD44" target="_blank">Jessica Gottlieb</a> apparently is all over it--maybe I’m late to the game.<br />
