It is only a week until the start of the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (aka the 2008 Olympics) and I’m sure that many of you will want to get into the spirit of things and commemorate the occasion. But how? It’s too late to train for a marathon, or even a fun run. Dressing up as one of the olympic mascots is right out in this heat and a five-ringed tattoo will only look all smeary when your non-athlete arm goes all bingo wings in later life.
Luckily, diamond merchant De Veres has stepped in with the ultimate Olympic expensive tat commemorative item – a diamond studded iPhone 3G, because nothing says “Citius, Altius, Fortius” like a blinged-up iPhone.
For a mere $8,219 (plus the cost of the handset which, hilariously, you have to pay for yourself) De Veres will embed 88 diamonds around the steel bezel of the iPhone. The number ‘8′ in China is associated with wealth. The number ‘80′ presumably means ‘less sense than’.
