..:: Ronnie James Dio Tribute – In Silly Bandz ::..

So, two important things happened: my daughter ranked in the top ten of second graders in a school-wide reading competition, and Ronnie James Dio died.  What bridges these two events is Silly Bandz — the shaped silicone bands that have an outrageous markup.  These suckers cost pennies to produce, but they run about $2.50 a dozen.  It’s great to prop up the failing Chinese economy and all, but c’mon.

Anyway, she got a pack of Rock Bandz which had microphones, drum kits, and most importantly FINGER HORNS!  I told her that Dio popularized the finger horns, and she wanted to do up a tribute.  And here it is.  Splayed out over our monitor.

I love my little head banger.
