Celebrity watch time again
Wife showed me a photo in one of her gossip mags of some bird called Donna Versace. She was wearing what appeared to be a solid gold Daytona on her left wrist.
Not so long ago, I saw a photo of Elle McPherson. [You know, big Elle over there don't you?] She was wearing a gold Daytona as well. Yet again, I saw another bird who was some latter day Pop star. Looked like a teenage kid, blonde, getting into a limo after a few drinkies. She had one on as well. It was way too big for her wrist. Looked like a gold shackle! Is the gold Daytona getting to be the ultimate bling watch for rich chicks? Anyone have any ideas who started this and WHY? Steve |

Hi Steve;
I'm not sure about Donna qualifying as a "bird" but then again, I don't know your definition. She is the sister of ultra-famous designer Gianni Versace. After his murder in front of his mansion in Florida Donna took the reins of his empire and has grown it very nicely. I'm SURE she has a lot more watches than the gold Daytona. I don't believe the Daytona is ultimate bling for these rich girls but it is popular. |

I have yet to notice a nice watch on a beautiful woman. I am busy looking at other things.

Well, no excuses, John - it appears that only one of the three that Steve listed falls under the beautiful category. From the last photo I saw, Donna resembled Gianni Agnelli more than Gianni Versace, and whatever pop star that was sounds like your typical stick figure.

More about birds
Thanks for the info Richard.
My definition of 'bird' apart from the feathered type is one of the fairer sex. Very young birds are chicks and old ones are 'boilers'. My grandfather, was a Cockney Londoner. He used to refer to hens that could not be roasted for the dinner table because they were too tough to eat so they were boiled in a pot for chicken stock. Hence the name boilers. Atomic, where do you start? I'm a leg man myself. Steve |

Tardis, like Dman, I like a nice pair of legs that go up and make a perfect ass of themselves.
