Windowlicker: With This Ring, I Thee Bed

The homo-neurotic’s weekly perusal of objects accessible only to those with the financial resources of a Russian oligarch that incite horror, desire, shame, and revulsion. All at the same time.

So the proceedings in California have gotten us gays all in a tizzy about that most hallowed of institutions, marriage. Naturally, all the talk has has been about love and commitment and walking through life with that ever so special person that has been placed on this earth specifically for YOU. But let us cast our minds back to the good old days where marriage was simply either a means of preventing mutual annihilation (i.e. my tribe won’t come over periodically and try to club and rape your tribe to death and your tribe will try not to do the same) or merely a fiduciary agreement in which one party sells off their offspring to the other party so as to propagate yet another generation of aristocrats, or in the case of the peasantry, additional farm hands. So in the more ancient spirit of the institution, here are a few baubles that one might consider as a more interesting alternative to that ever so boring solitaire from Tiffany’s
