The tackiest necklace you can buy for $200

I fondly recall spending afternoons playing with My Little Pony and Hot Wheels. Often, that would turn into an afternoon of snapping together beads to create brightly colored necklaces for myself and my stuffed animals. Those were great days.

But, I was five years old, and I wasn't really thinking about fashion.

Alter Ego jewelry, designed by a misguided an enterprising 18-year-old in California, brings things like vintage toys and bright beads together to create a truly unique look that, theoretically, adults would wear. Oh, and also, that adults would pay $50 to $200 to wear.

I get the idea -- it's quirky and fun, and I suppose it might work for fashion-forward pre-teens, but don't expect to see me wearing it any time soon. Or ever.
