<\/a><\/p>\n Long ago, in a galaxy known as Coggles.com<\/a>, I was dazzled by a Vivienne Westwood tiara with little diamante devil horns. It was a replica of the one Viv wore to meet the Queen of England. It was way out of my price range, but I was brokenhearted when it disappeared from the website.<\/p>\n Now that I’ve decided to renounce internet shopping, I have come upon this tiara again.<\/p>\n Fuck.
