TICK, TICK, "PLASTICHIC"

It's not easy to photograph your own arm, I've just discovered, and this is the best I could do:




For I have become a plastichichista, reader, and have so far purchased four of these silicone watches, which are the latest fashion craze here. Not only are they strong, waterproof and fun to wear, but as a bonus they come in these smart containers:




The silicone has, I read, been treated with tourmaline, which is said to attract and emit negative ions. So what I want to know is, if one watch can make you feel good, can four worn together make you believe you're that lucky girl, Elisabetta Canalis?

Who needs a watch? Let alone four... maybe a squid could use like eight?

Hi, Mutley. I think they'd look rather good on an octopus!

They're cute! May I suggest that to photograph yourself, you allow Simi to take the picture. (That was Alex's idea).

That is very intelligent of Alex, Nick. Simi thinks so, too.

I hadn't seen these before - how ingenious! Love the colours and design. Practical, too. But a tiny bit doubtful about the effect of those ions ...!

Now I am not a watch wearer but these look so cool I will be joining the trend when it gets to Australia lol. Nothing like an impulse purchase :-)

Hi, Phidelm . They appeared in a rather smart store only about a fortnight ago. I've already seen imitations in the market! Hi, mg. I'm sure the trend will spread to Oz soon. I agree with you re impulse purchases!

PS - Phidelm: I'll believe anything, me!

Welshcakes Limoncello said...

Hi, Gleds. He would, wouldn't he?

Hi, Peter. Difficult! The "h" is there to harden the c in "chista", of course. Hi, Sally. I'm glad they appeal to you as well.

I bought 2 watches like those (one purple, one pink) from a market stall in Milan on Saturday, they're fab!
