Purity Rings (reposted)

Jonas brothers got blasted by Russel Brand (The worse VMA awards host ever) for wearing promise rings to pledge purity and be virgins till marriage.

The Jo-bros reacted with the comment rings are "a promise to ourselves and to God that we'll stay pure 'till marriage," and "it's [purity rings] pretty awesome, and the rings are just one of our ways of kind of like being different than everybody else out there."

The sales of purity rings went up. See even celebrity endorsements can make people 'wait.'


E! had this documentary on diamonds and mentioned Utah state's "Wait for the Bling" abstinence campaign. As you can guess, bad response! More Celebs, reality show stars are proudly preaching abstinence through their purity rings and you all know what celeb endorcement does.

One of my older girlfriends is one person everyone is jealous of. Explanation: she's just a 'good' girl. She has mad fun (never see her party hard but never grinding) dress hot but never indecent, intelligent but not nerdy and will proudly tell you in the cafeteria that her religion and culture want her to wait till marriage. All round obviously not perfect because no one is quite perfect but graduated first class with honors, has a great job with a top Fortune 500 firm and the sweetest boyfriend ever ($$$$). That's just an amebo (gossip) summary!

Anyway, I saw for the first time the TRUE LOVE WAITS (TLW) promise ring on her finger. I always used to read about them and saw pictures of Yankee folks wearing them in magazines.

I want to get one for my birthday or for Christmas or valentines in case boo disappoints. Though it doesn't guarantee sticking to plan its a constant reminder like why do people wear wedding rings and still divorce? Or why do people not wear their wedding bling and still stick together. To an extent its a commercialized thing because our mothers didn't have to wear purity ring to remain a virgins/ be celibate till marriage and apparently, Beyonce isn't wearing a ring to prove Jay belongs to her.

Anyway, purity rings are the trend amongst my kind of folks so I'm keeping up and its also a money making move. Lol! Seriously, engagement rings, wedding rings, commitment rings all those things didn't exist back in the day, ring or no ring you better be a virgin (or pretend) else they'll ship you to the evil forest (Igbo style). Lol!

Rings are simply just a reminder of your 'vow.' It is usually to be replaced with a wedding ring. People reclaim virginity (after losing it to bad relationships, repentance, assaults etc) and because shit happens and they decide to be celibate till marriage so they also rock this 'bling.'

True Love Waits believers, if you wanna purchase any:

Tattoos...PDA

This is just like wearing a commitment, promise/purity or wedding ring. Only, its PERMANENT! It's not exactly PDA (public display of affection) but why do people go the whole length to tattoo each other on each other. Its cute when the relationship is alive but when it Kpemes/ fails, errrr, uncool!



When is so OUT THERE, and everyone asks you questions, you answer is plain PDA. Like putting pictures of couples in love on facebook when no one really needs to know. I'm not criticizing tattoos but sometimes being discreet about things as sensitive as relationships is the best thing.

Its like staying in a marriage because the ring cost six or seven digits. But you can resell the ring right? and make money but taking the tattoo off is expensive. Unless you're Angelina Jolie of course.

I know this girl who is/was dating this dude. Their pictures of facebook eh? As in cute couple-in-love. Love nwa-ti-ti, ifunanya. Just like my last post. Only for me to run across a photo with a BOLD tattoo on his arm with the girl's name. Not Mariah Carey's tiny 'Mrs Cannon' one but big but not as big as Nick Cannon's back the 'Mariah one or whatever it is, google it.'


Every comment was like 'cute,' 'awwww,' 'im jealous,' 'hawt' Oh facebook comments are a case, including mine


Lately, she's been partying hard courtesy of facebook, I know her routine. Lol! Stalker! Point is I never saw him in any the newest photos. Curious, I checked only to see 'SINGLE' on her profile status.

I wonder how much he paid to get the tattoo laser-ed off? If I were him I'll makeup until I find money. Lol!

The guy papa get moni so e be like say he fit move on jejely.

My amebo ways!

Will you tattoo ur boyfriend, girl friend, husband or wife's name or initials on your skin?
