Hmm, weird that my name didn't come up. The above bedazzle comment was by me, Jess. That's a weird story, makes me think of this Neil Gaiman story about a guy pretending to be a professor at a conference in Nola, and all the weird stuff that happens but seems plausible there.

ahhhhh "By" You made my heart skip for a moment. "Bedazzle Jewelry" was one of my favorite stores in Nola! My Ex discovered it first years before she met me when she lived there. She brought a cool silver wrap around Alligator ring that in typical New Orleans’s ways of things, just disappeared when she moved back to Michigan, then to Chicago. It was one of her favorites. The artists was some crazy genius who lived in the swamps and stalked (in a none threatening or as none threatening as you can stalk some one) a Creole news caster before he just up and disappeared further into the swamp. I brought a silver cast from an original Alligator necklace he made before he disappeared. The detailing was so amazing. I was soo happy with it. One late night- back in Chicago- we fought and I stormed off home. When I arrived my necklace was gone, lost along the way. I walked back that night and looked in the morning several times over several days but to no avail. I still kick myself as Bezalle is now closed because Katrina. I guess certain things are just not meant to ever leave Nola. God Bless Her dark warm Soul!

I'm impressed as well. They should make it a ring, like the ones the brothas wear. The sky line across four knuckles, son!
