Fashion HOT OR NOT?


I read this on trendcentral.com: In times of financial uncertainty, values of precious metals such as gold and platinum tend to stay high even if the market for fine jewelry takes a downturn, as we're seeing in this recession. One piece of jewelry worth investing in, The Paracord Survival Bracelet, while not made from the earth's most precious natural resource, can potentially protect its precious inhabitants. Made from 15-26 feet of highly durable 550 lb. test paracord (originally used by the US military as parachute suspension lines), the bracelet can be unwound for use in multiple situations - from tying down a mattress to your car roof to securing a tent or temporary shelter to throwing a line to a person fallen overboard - in a pinch. Traditionally worn by US military personnel, a growing number of civilians are also now sporting the woven nylon bracelets (or some variation of it) in the chance that they find themselves in a bind. (Plus, even if you don't expect to find yourself in an emergency situation, its surprisingly hip look makes it look like the kind of high fashion accessory that would be sold in a concept boutique like Opening Ceremony or Oak.)

My question: Fashion HOT or NOT?
