I tend to be quite the radical on a few issues and I can have generalized and probably unjustified adversities towards entire industries, diamond exploitation being one of them. I am convinced though Janet's venture will use diamonds which were collected and manipulated in environmentally-safe ways and above all, respecting workers' rights. I wish her success in all her ventures, but especially in the artistic ones.

Beyond my apprehension about blood diamonds, I still don't think they are a girl's best friend. In my silly little mind that role is reserved for a much more interesting and exciting carbon-based creation..........the male body. Now that's smooth and shiny indeed. It is worth more than all the diamonds, gold and all other "treasures" in the world put together :cheeky:

^^^^ Male body, indeed. :yes:

I still like a little bling-y bling bling though. Her collection is too expensive for me.

The business venture is neither here nor there for me. I do wish her success. It reminded me of this song.
