Vintage Jewels at The Bead Studio

The most eye-popping pieces of jewelry often combine elements of old-school style with innovations plucked from the sharpest part of fashion's cutting edge. The artists and curators featured in The Bead Studio's Vintage Jewels collection weave together this delicate blend in their own pieces, which take the form of teardrop earrings, minimalist lariats, and Victorian-style rhinestone brooches. Clients can adorn outfits with individual pieces, or even work with The Bead Studio to outfit their bridal parties in the timeless accessories. Already available via the studio's website, the 2013 collection will also make a real-world splash at trunk shows in April and October.

The Groupon Guide to: Rhyming Sayings about Musical Genres

Everyone knows Duke Ellington’s famous lyrical throwing down of the gauntlet: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing.” But what most people don’t know is that every genre of music has since answered Mr. Ellington’s assertion. Here are their rhymes:

  • “If the music’s not punk, it’s stupid boring junk."
  • “If it ain’t rock ‘n’ roll, throw it in toilet bowl."
  • “Music not classical is certainly crass, not droll."
  • “If it ain’t Afro-Caribbean jazz, don’t expect razzmatazz."
  • “If it isn’t dubstep, * the sound of computers from the '80s falling down some stairs onto many scared dogs *."
  • “If it ain’t post-industrial Nordic death metal, it is a baby’s sadness."(translated from Norwegian)

In Norwegian proverbs, most things are compared to a baby’s sadness.
