So I walk into the local gas station to buy a soda, and while I''m swiping my debit card the clerk asks me where I got my placeholder ring. (6-"stone" semi-eternity fakey I wear on left ring finger to keep people off my back--bad business to be single in!)
I tell him I got it at the mall. He says, "You didn''t buy it yourself, did you?" I say of course I did, I wear it so I''m not slobbered all over on a daily basis. He asks me how much I paid for it. I laugh and say "About 8 bucks!"
He laughs and says he''s looking for something a little more, uh, real...so I write down ps''s addy and give it to him, suggesting he come here to learn and get a good deal.
The funny thing is, this ring is the fakest-looking fake I think I''ve ever seen. I''ve been considering a sim for my ering until we''re a little better off, but have been concerned...while I wouldn''t TELL people it''s real, I wouldn''t want it to be obviously, immediately apparent that it''s fake. (I ordered one of wink''s CZs, but don''t have a real diamond to do a side-by-side so not sure how it compares; my only experience with real diamonds thus far has been under those magic jeweler lights.) But I figure, unless I run into ps''ers off-line...if THIS thing fools people, wink''s has got to be a shoo-in!!
...anyway, just wondered if anybody else talks up ps in the real world?
