Does it Do it For You?

Do you wanna be in their gang? Celebs are getting tribal, wearing the right bangle to belong. It shows they can afford £29.99 for a piece of tat that is meant to make them feel great. The money would do it for me. Send me the thirty quid and I'll feel pretty good for you. And you would be helping a poor Billy No Mates into the bargain, so what's not to like?

The ridiculous ways the rich and famous find to squander their dosh never ceases to amaze. This is the latest craze, a rubber wrist band called the Power Balance. Supposed to "resonate and respond to the natural energy flow of the body," improving " balance, strength and flexibility." I tell you now. It doesn't work. Sue me if I'm wrong.

Yet David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kate Middleton are among the more money-than-sense-celebs who are flocking to Harrods and JJB Sports to buy one. It's apparently all about frequencies incorporated into a hologram, low-emitting electro-magnetic stuff. A word beginning with b and ending in s springs to mind.

Spend your money on what you like. Wear what you like. But don't expect the rest of us to think you've made a rational decision because frankly, you're away with the fairies.
