“Elena Kiam, the owner and creative director of the jewelry brand Lia Sophia, says initially she was surprised to see her women’s line embraced by some of rap’s top acts like 50 Cent, P. Diddy and Snoop Dogg, who has worn her pieces in music videos and on magazine covers.
‘When we were designing these really beautiful, sparkly necklaces, we thought more for top editors, maybe a celebrity movie star. We really weren’t thinking about hip-hop,’ said Kiam, who also said Beyoncé, Rihanna and Miley Cyrus have worn her designs.
‘There was a rapper wearing the same piece as a soccer mom from Ohio,’ she added.”

On a side note, I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine the other day. He said that one day his son’s friend was in school for a class when he noticed that his last name (he has a very rare and unusual last name) was called twice. Lo and behold, he soon discovered that the other person with his last name was the sister he never thought he had. He said that he was actually thinking about stepping to her because she was cute before he found this out.
Fellas. We got to get it together.
