And the rebel wore...pearls?

Pearls really have lost their demure reputation when women are being
called rebels for wearing them...

From a news article about the Olympics: "Save your indignation for
all the wannabe rebels and meretricious peacocks elsewhere in the
Games. Like Alpine skiers Julia Mancuso, who wore a tiara on her
helmet-less head and became queen of nothing, while teammate Resi
Stiegler wore pearls but finished well back with the swine. One can
only hope those two went temporarily insane from jealousy of all
things Bode or the fact that all the hip-kid snowboarders were
stealing all the media attention (and the medals, which is important
to remember if you're gonna talk the talk)."

Harsh. We fashionistas don't blame these women for wanting to add a
little glam to their sporty look. You glow, Julia and Resi.
