Top 5: Silly Bandz shapes
OK, we can’t ignore this any longer. What was intended to be simple elastic jewelry for 5-year-olds has suddenly spiraled into a full-blown fashion epidemic that has even us ‘adults’ infected. But hey, we’ll be the first to admit there’s a certain allure to sporting the oddly shaped rubber bands. Just look at our Technicolor wrists. While they’re all winners in our book, some silly swagger is just cooler than the rest. Your friends will be begging to trade their subpar shapes for these elastic gems.
1. ‘Fantastic Four:’ A Mr. Fantastic Silly Band is nothing short of brilliant.
2. Professional Sports Teams: Yankees fans, just don’t trade with anyone from Boston. That would be awkward.
3. Tools: The ladies love a handyman. No toolbox required.
4. ‘Dirty’ Silly Bandz: Is that a phallic-shaped Silly Band you have on, or are you just happy to see us?
5. The Alphabet: Please, no profanities.
