cufflinks ncaa washington large 01 Rise of the Huskies  This has been a very rough decade for the University of Washington Huskies.  Following the difficulties and problems of the first half of the decade involving the overlooking of atrocious behavior of several team-members and other people, the Washington Huskies have struggled just to regain the semblance of a football program.  Even with the talent of QB Jake Locker the Huskies had a rough go of it, only now beginning to build a team that looks like a viable contender in the Pac-10.  With Head Coach Steve Sarkisian, and the recent upset they gave to the mighty USC Trojans last year, the Huskies are poised to make a good solid comeback in this very tough collegiate conference.  Whether you’re an alumni or a student you’ll be glad to show your support for the Huskies this year with a set of University of Washington Huskies Cufflinks.  These silver cufflinks feature the standard Washington purple and gold “W” logo that will look prominent and stylish on any shirt cuff.  Perfect not just for football but for all the sports the Huskies play, at home or on the road, they make great keepsakes and gifts for new students, graduates, and long-time alumni, all of whom need to do their part in rebuilding the Huskies glory.  NCAA cufflinks are marvelous to collect, and are a solid part of pride in one’s alma mater.  It may take a few seasons for the Huskies to get into fighting trim on the gridiron, but they’re on the right path with good leadership that will instill a firm foundation of character they need to return to greatness. 

 

The Eiffel Tower

August 3rd, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Cufflinks

cufflinks landmarks eiffel tower large The Eiffel TowerThere is, perhaps, no greater symbol of France than the Eiffel Tower.  The Eiffel Tower has had an interesting history, beginning with its construction by contractor Gustav Eiffel and Cie as the entrance to the Exposition Universalle to mark the centennial celebration of the French Revolution back in 1889,  it was originally considered by many Parisians to be something of an eye-sore.  There were motions to have it torn down on numerous occasions, which would lead to one of the most notorious con-jobs of the great con-man Count Victor Lustig, who had fraudulently “sold” the tower to a group of scrap metal dealers for several million francs during the 1920s.  During the Second World War, it was said that though Hitler conquered Paris he could not conquer the Eiffel Tower, having been forced to climb it thanks to some industrious Frenchmen who cut the cable car that led to the top.  As a result he didn’t climb it on his second trip to Paris.  One of the world’s most famous and visited landmarks, nobody will mistake your Eiffel Tower Cufflinks for anything else when they see them on your sleeve.  Silver cufflinks such as these offer a nice sparkle and something quite interesting to round out your formal attire, and are among the many landmark cufflinks to choose from to highlight your own travels abroad, or that of a friend or a relative’s.  Especially if you’ve taken the time to wait for an opportunity to ride to the top of the Tower for a breathtaking view of Paris and the French countryside beyond, you ought to showcase such an achievement.  You may not always have Paris, but at least you’ll have that. 

Confederate Flag Cufflinks

July 26th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Cufflinks

cufflinks flags confederate large 01 Confederate Flag CufflinksMost people are taught that the Civil War was about the end of Slavery in America.  But to many others, it was more than that.  It was the end of an era, the end of a way of life, and the end of something else – State Pride.  Before the Civil War, Americans didn’t consider themselves “American” first, but they considered themselves “Virginians” and “New Yorkers” and “Marylanders.”  They identified with their state first.  And to many who live in the South to this day, they don’t see that the Civil War was a genuine Civil War, in the sense that you have two factions fighting for control of the government as in the English Civil War.  To them, it’s more apt to call the war the War for Southern Independence.  They were fighting to live life on their own terms, not on anyone else’s, most especially to anyone from the North.  They weren’t necessarily defending slavery, but their own sovereignty against that of the federal government and any other state that wished to impose their will on another.  To those who understand this point, and those who enjoy history, a set of Confederate Flag Cufflinks is sure to please.  The Stars and Bars of the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia is great for the Civil War re-enactor or those who love their Southern home and wish for a time when states exert more sovereignty against the federal government once again.  These flag and seal cufflinks and other silver cufflinks make excellent collector’s items and gifts to anyone who enjoys a bit of rebellion every now and then.

Be careful you don’t get auctioned off, though.

 

Owning art cufflinks is just as pleasurable as owning any other work of art. Choosing them requires just as much thought because you would not want to own something that does not represent your personal tastes and style. You would have to pick accessories that complement your collections. Unique designer cufflinks are especially desirable because these ones are not likely to be mass produced then sold at the five and dime store.

 

Certainly, you’d want something that adds more value to you rather than something that will only bring you down. Value is something that you’re sure to get with a good quality Mona Lisa reproduction such as what is printed on these Mona Lisa cufflinks.

 

Fellow art enthusiasts will likely be unable to resist commenting on your unique cufflinks. It may be a good idea to practice your own Mona Lisa smile precisely to send a simple but witty response to any quip they may come up with. Either way, it’s a conversation starter, particularly when you wear it to art events. Even if you decide to wear it with something more casual during a simple day out, you’d probably still be likely to draw some attention. After all, who doesn’t recognize the Mona Lisa?

Dressing for Luck

February 17th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Cool Cufflinks

cufflinks religion zen ying yang large 01 Dressing for LuckMany people choose to study the zodiac, feng shui and other philosophies that systematize people’s ability to attract and retain luck for every aspect of their lives. Even a skeptic economist could very well start believing in the power of these charms and systems since the Chinese have displayed diligence, temerity and long streaks of luck to achieve their elevated status amongst other nations.

 

While many people do not truly subscribe to the Chinese’s philosophy, few acknowledge that there is no harm in trying to adopt doable practices that have the potential to enhance their lives. One trendy way to attract luck is to wear Yin Yang cufflinks. These designer cufflinks illustrate the ancient Chinese belief that success stems from achieving balance between good and evil, dark and light. Ironically, this echoes the age-old saying that too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.

 

Religion and zen cufflinks are sure to add an interesting feature to your outfit. This would be a perfect accent for a Chinese Cheongsam or traditional dress for women as well as traditional shirts for men. Why not go all out in attracting luck on special occasions like the Chinese New Year, which usually comes in February, or even during the regular Christian holidays by wearing brightly colored outfits and accessories that still exude a classic touch? Just keep it simple. Let the accessories speak for themselves. Be careful in your choices — a dress that’s too loud may turn off luck instead of attracting it.

cufflinks misc ruby eye skull large Where Do You Belong?People at this age demand a lot of new things such as equipment, materials, food, clothing, ideas, etc. This is because they tend not to satisfy themselves of what they have but rather wants more of what they don’t. They tend to do things for themselves to attain their personal goal. This led to what people call individuality.

 

People show up their personality in different ways. Gangsters show up their styles with authority. They wear loose shirts, loose pants, and sometimes a hoody and the ever popular bling-bling. Much different from those of the Gangsters, Emo Kids hide their faces with their long one-sided hair wearing their body fitted shirts and skinny jeans. They often put makeup and black eyeliner.

 

On the other hand, the members of the gothic subculture dress as dark and sometimes as morbid as possible. They wear black clothes and sometimes having a skull cufflinks and the famous Ruby Eye Vermeil Skull Cufflinks. Punks are no different; they wear their own type of clothing to make their statement. The common punks wear denim, chains, and combat boots. They often have spiky and Mohawk type of hair.

 

Executives dress differently, wearing just plain coat and a dress shirt with gold cufflinks. To show their intellectual persona, Geeks wear rectangular glasses and braces. Geeks are often bullied because of their weak nature but behold these geeks could be our future geniuses.

 

Individuality is very common in our society particularly in a democratic nation. Others refer to this as the basis of a person’s personality.
