In the ongoing quest to find newer, weirder, uglier kinds of ways to augment the human body, there are plenty of people out there getting questionable tattoos in even more questionable places. Still, we can't really imagine "tooth art" catching on. That's right, there's a studio in Utah that actually offers tooth art (more accurately 'crown art') for people who want to look like they have a piece of spinach permanently caught in their teeth.

We don't really understand the idea behind this body-art innovation at all. The website explains it as a kind of white-collar tattoo that can be removed in only a few minutes with a dentist's grinder, but their samples show teeth branded with portraits of Amy Winehouse, Mickey Mouse and Tiger Woods. It seems more like they're trying to market these to teens and tweens -- along with braces and headgear. Are they serious? Do they really think parents are going to go for that in Utah?

You know that tank top or tee that's in your closet -- the one that's a pretty color, but just kind of plain? You probably try to liven it up with necklaces or by layering it with other tops, and that's great. However, don't underestimate the power of a really pretty brooch.

On a tank, if the straps are the right width, you can scrunch up one side and close the brooch around it to give your neckline a bit of an asymmetrical feel. Or, if you have a V neck tee, place the brooch at the bottom of the V to add some punch.

A little visual jazz on your fingers and toes can go a long way toward driving away the blues and beating the doldrums. It's cheaper than doing drugs, and also not illegal. And it can be such a creative outlet! From glitterly gold stickers to 3-D ceramic flowers you can even get a photo transfered on to your nails!

We recommend avoiding something like the screw in handcuff nail dangle pictured here (just $14.99!) if you have a court date. On the other hand, if you're feeling a little stuck in a rut this brightness at your fingertips is sure to cheer you up.

So you scored an invite to a swanky poolside bash this summer, or, maybe it's not so swanky, but you still have people there you want to seriously impress. No doubt you're going to sport some killer shoes, and you'll probably have a fabulous bathing suit and cover-up planned. To finish the look, though, don't forget your sunglasses!

According to the LA Times, guys are getting more and more into jewelry these days. Sales of men's jewelry doubled in the US over the last couple of years, and the trend is certainly visible on trend settin celebrity types from Johnny Depp to David Beckham.

So, why are men suddenly flocking back toward the bling? Some are saying that men are becoming more comfortable with making a fashion statement. Whatever.

As the weather heats up, so does the party scene -- we can hardly keep track of all the swanky events on our calendar. There are weddings, birthdays, and plenty of "just because" cocktail parties that give us reason to glitz up our everyday look. And, one of our favorite ways to take an outfit from day to night is with a pair of killer earrings.

Do you hate sharing your soda? Does it disgust you when someone wants to borrow your lip balm? Your problems are over! Introducing the latest in cold sore chic, the rhinestone lip bling.

Sure, everyone wants to be healthy, but looking healthy is so passé. Plaster these babies on your lips and never be bothered again. For added effect we suggest a sock in the eye and Goldschlager tears. No longer will you live in fear of jerks eyeballing your YooHoo (or your drink).

Seriously, what in the world could motivate someone into going the lip bling route? Granted, we can think of one legit reason to add traction to one's lips, but we can't write about it on this site.

Stylelist is running a poll over at their site today on this very issue. They probably won't say that someone rubbed the model's face in Pop Rocks, but they'll say something, and then you'll vote. It's the American way.

Keep smiling!

As if wearing millions of dollars worth of jewelry every day weren't enough already, celebrities are now starting to put bling on their cars.

A car jewelry (yes, you heard that right, I said car jewelry) company, License2Bling, has started manufacturing designs and license plate frames with Swarovski crystals embedded. In case you're worried about someone stealing your bling, you can even get special security screws to keep everything in place.

I think you'll be surprised at just how many stars own these products!

• The Hilton sisters
• Britney Spears
• Kim Kardashian
• Mya
• Nicole Richie
• Eva Longoria
• Alicia Keyes
• Jessica Simpson
• Hilary Duff
• Sanda Bullock
• Jessica Alba
• Jessica Biel
• Lindsay Lohan
• Kimberly Stewart
• Scott Storch

Paris Hilton was the obvious one on the list. I mean, when she's not out committing crimes against fashion humanity like in the picture above, she's can be found buying bling for herself, her dog, her ferret, her plane, her house, whatever. Her pets probably all own more diamonds than I do. But, is anyone else a little shocked to see Sandra Bullock on the list? She seems so down to Earth. I really would never have pegged her as a car bling kind of girl.

For you patriotic boys and girls you can get an American flag with red, white and blue crystals. My grandma would love that. There's also a pink crystal breast cancer ribbon and even a Christian fish. Anyways, check out some of the License2Bling's products and tell me what you think! Would you ever put something like this on your car?

Cell phones have become far more than a way for us to make a call. Between sending text messages, pictures, and videos, storing music, and acting as a mobile workstation, it's a wonder our cells have time to do anything else.

But they do -- they act as yet another fashion accessory.

In India, adding bling to your cell is a booming business. For example, there is a device that will turn your car's rear view mirror into a monitor so you can check the incoming calls by looking in your mirror while you drive. There are also options for music lovers, like stereophonic speakers to turn your phone into a mini home theater. Or, if you're a bit forgetful, you might want to opt for an intelligent watch, which will alert you if you're leaving your cell behind.

And, if you're more interested in making your phone look fancy than in giving it fancy functions, you can always opt for phone jewelry and charms. After all, if you can personalize your ring tone, shouldn't you be able to personalize the phone, too?

I've been a fan of the cocktail ring for some time now, but Vogue's Style.com has introduced a new twist on the standard sparkly bauble. Instead of sporting a ring with the same old bling, consider something slightly understated and more natural. Gemstones like amethysts take on a whole new look when left in a raw state.

However, the raw, natural state isn't for everyone -- some of us prefer a ring with enough sparkle to be seen from miles away. I mean, what easier way is there to dress up a casual sweater and jeans than to slide some (fake) ice on the right hand and head out for dinner? Also, if you like to talk half as much as I do, it's always helpful to have something to assist you in making a point, and if you incorporate hand gestures into your pontification, this is practically like wearing a microphone.

Have you been sitting around, bemoaning the fact that you're too broke to sport some quality bling? Do all your friends point and laugh because you hands and neck look naked?

Never fear, the authors of "Bling, The Hip Hop Jewelry Book" have come to the rescue. In the above video Gabriel and Reggie (the book's authors), take you through a decidedly unorthodox cooking class, in which they demonstrate how you can make diamonds from charcoal, peanut butter and lighter fluid.

Seriously, it works. But, as the guys remind you in the video about 8,000 times, do this outside. It involves your microwave, a fire, and a significant amount of carbon monoxide.

But hey, when you're done, you'll have a method for making all the bling you could ever need for next to nothing. Score!

If you've ever dreamt of seeing your name in lights, well, sorry, keep dreaming. We can't really help you.

However, just for fun, you can head over to the website for Absolut Vodka and at least get your name in some serious bling. Look for "Bling" (www.absolut.com/bling if you can't find the link). Mouse over the screen to find the link for "Downloads," then follow the instructions to "Bling Your Name." It'll put your name in diamonds and gold against one of about a half dozen backgrounds. The backgrounds are not that awesome, but if you like hundred dollar bills or gold bricks, you're set. We like to think of ourselves as animals.

Like everybody else, I've got an iPod. And yes, my iPod looks just like everybody's else's -- white, nondescript, functional. In short, blingless.

That's why I need something like the Bling Ring Too. Made by the good folks at Bling Ring, the Bling Ring Too is a case for your iPod with 1000 peel-off crystals. The crystals allow you to bling out your iPod to your individual taste. In the process, it ensures that your Pod will be like no other.

So even if you don't have bling on your fingers, you can certainly have it on your iPod. And even if your iPod works the same as everybody else's, it won't be the same as everybody else's. Reassuring, no?

Do you have jewel envy? If so, Borrowed Bling may just be the solution.

You see, Borrowed Bling is jewelry's answer to Netflix. For a set membership fee -- usually somewhere between $29.95 ("Countess Level") to $99.95 ( "Movie Star Level") -- Borrowed Bling loans out belts, jewels, crystal bags and accessories (the higher membership fees allow you to check out multiple items at a single time). You then mail your bling back when you've sufficiently impressed everybody.

Not good with borrowing stuff? Can't even get books back to the library on time? No worries. The time allowance for each item is up to four months. And you always have the option to buy if you just can't seem to find the heart to return your bling.
