Blingbling and Crapwear?
I must be getting olde! I have seen people with five earrings in one ear. I couldn't really see the ear. Or they insist on exposing a navel with a big karat of a blingbling stuck in it. Or if they pull down their shirt, there is an obvious chunky bulge which is either a genetic defect or a humongous tummy ring. Yuck styling to me.Some of these individuals are physically attractive except for the, as I see it, bizarre behavior.
Or ffffffat folk wearing teeny and tighty with long earrings and five rings on each finger. Sort of like see "I can wear this and you really will not notice as I have all these sparkly rings on my hands". Obviously, they look just plain sooooooo bad! Hair grows back usually unless it is destroyed in whatever is done to it to get attention, or express what? It appears as if the usually nice and attractive has become boring or something.
Maybe these people are trying to be unique in and of themselves. Anybody have an opinion? Or better an understanding!!!!!!!

I have heard it said that one does not wear bling but wears ice. If one is blinging then they are wearing a lot of ice that is blingbling. However, different people disagree to varying extents whether ice is an actual noun and whether bling is exclusively a verb that has been turned into a gerund by people who do not belong to the hip-hop culture.
I pretty much feel that the more skin exposed (either through seethrough/tight clothing or mere exposure) the less modest the dress is. Reacting to the burlesque garish sartorial expressions of others gives them attention that they may being denied through neglect. Rather than give them negative attention, it seems like it is more important to give these people positive interactions. They will not be able to accuse you of treating them poorly for being an outsider (which gives them power) and are likely to highly regard you for your humanity, so counter to the nature of so many people's lonely existences. Or, they will despise you, throw stones at you in the street, and bury you in an earthen prison for a number of years. The ultimate point is that you do not have the power to change others (though you do have the power to judge them and even the power to choose to judge or not judge them). Rather, you have the power to control your behavior and your emotions (though this should not be expected to be an easy process) and are capable of treating, likely, a few neglected souls as though they are resplendent beings that we all have the potential to become.

Well, now I have a definition of a bling or ice I didn't have before. Progress is positive. And I do agree here with less is more sums up sort of what I was thinking.
