Golden Year of the Monkey

Phone with the golden touchCelebrate the Year of the Monkey in 24 karat! This isn’t a sponsored post, it’s obviously not my photo and I haven’t seen this personally. But since this breaking news rolled through my inbox, I thought I’d share.

To commemorate one of the luckiest years in the Chinese Zodiac, Goldgenie has launched a special limited edition  iPhone 6s, featuring a laser-engraved Monkey symbol on the actual phone. Although just 99 are available, you can also request rose gold or platinum finishes.  A luxury cherry oak display box is included, in case you don’t actually want to use your gold phone.

I haven’t upgraded my 5s yet, which is still sporting a case from Tmart, so I’m glad to know I have options. However, I hesitate. But if you’re feeling the gold monkey, good news — only 50% deposit is needed up front:

£1,248.50. Even though they offer it, don’t cheap out with the 16 gigs.Blue Besos

Attention Tmart Shoppers

Once you go Mac you never go back. Ever since my ruby red iMac, I’ve been hooked. The love affair continued with my iBook, my pre-Intel Inside G5, my MacBook and my iPhone. But the $30+ charge for a teensy little plastic cell phone case or bumper? Not so much. And not so much so much that I just said not so much, an expression I loathe. Yes, strong words for a colloquialism but I feel strongly about it. Where was I? Aah yes.

My iPhone bumper was getting old. But I postponed a new purchase, thinking there had to be another option. Then a tipsy talk with a girl in a restaurant restroom (dontcha love those) led to a Tmart endorsement. So I ordered. Then my bumper broke. I got worried – my little phone seemed so naked without some type of protection. The order was taking weeks. Shipping from the US and all. I wondered if I should break down from my Apple Store bumper boycott and cough up serious cash money for a new one. But I held out. Then this happened: P1020962Bummer. Guess what arrived the next day?P1020961I can’t blame Tmart for the cross-border penalty of residing in Canada. Especially not rhinestone-bedazzled-pink-for-$3.81 I can’t! But where were the other two I ordered? For $3.13 and $5.98 (splurged on that one) I was willing to be patient.P1020957Turns out they were in Hong Kong! I don’t know if Tmart made a profit on this sale, but they definitely made a devoted customer.P1020964At these prices it doesn’t matter if I lose a few sparkly things to purse trauma, but apparently Tmart doesn’t agree: P1020965Glue and extra rhinestones! Love it! Try it out for yourself:  Tmart.com. Just plan for a delay if you’re a true north strong and free type. ClearSmall xx 2
