And cooler then a bottle cap bracelet... (fun to make at the shabbos table)
It's even cooler then the friendship bracelets, and those were pretty popular in its time (I never really got into these, they were complicated to make)
The lanyard bracelets are still in style, but these are cooler even then that... (always a camp craft)
If you haven't heard of them, that's okay. Either you are old, living in a foreign country and they will arrive within five years, or you are just madly out of style. It is a really popular creation called silly bandz.
I personally have my own collection.
Here they are:
An A for Altie. This one I got from the 8 year old in question.
And an awesome CGI one. The shluchim I work for had them specially made.
So there you go. My silly bandz collection.
(Hope you had an easy fast.)
ReplyDeleteYesterday in shul I saw a boy wearing a bunch of these silly bandz, his were rainbow colored...
The lanyard brings back memories of camp, eons ago.
Well I lived to tell the tale, ergo, my fast wasn't that bad. And I got to sleep, something I rarely do on a regular camp day.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a boy trend too. I wish I were a kid and had millions and really cared to collect them. We have at camp as prizes but I don't have the heart to jack them.
We still do lanyard in camp. I get stuck doing all of them cuz its hard for kids to do.
And I hope you had an easy fast too.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Lanyard. I used to do that ages ago, and loved them. Too bad we grow up and forget.
ReplyDeleteAt least three of my younger cousins have silly bandz. I don't get it.
:) me neither. why wear rubber bands on your hand? they pinch.
ReplyDeleteOne of my sisters (she's in her thirties) claims they are outright dangerous, because they could stop the blood-flow to the hand.
ReplyDeleteshe has a point, except kids who wear them have much smaller wrists then adults who wear them and try to pass as kids.
ReplyDeletethaqt's really funny b/c those just reached melbourne and my neighbor swapped 'ALL MY NOSH FROM THE LOLLY MAN AND THE FIZZER MAN' for a bunch of them, which were a major topic of conoversation @ the shabbos table as we tried to work out if one was an animal or a chai. those cgi ones are majorly cool :)
