I posted a -tan question for you in Theories, Nej. /pleasedontshootme

i'll keep my ear to the ground.

diamonds are only a status symbol because when they were first mined out of africa by a british jeweler, the owner was a marketing genius who decided to release them to the public only a little at a time. compared to some other gemstones, they're fairly common. :\

Correction, the diamond market is controlled by the true manipulative bitches of world economics; the Dutch.  De Beers.  Remember that der Nederlands is also home to Royal Dutch Shell, who own or own through subsidiaries a fair amount of the world's oil supply.

[Chocofreak13]

still, i remember that it was a british guy who thought up the marketing ploy back in the late 1800's/early 1900's.


so i'm trying again to make a Yukata.

Who knew the Dutch were so sinister? @___@

[Chocofreak13]

well, they DID start the modern african slave trade. -w-;;

[stewartsage]

The actual guy was British, the company was De Beers.  It was the late 1800s in South Africa.
