SPWs are usually on the lookout for Mr. Right so they can make that fated walk down the aisle. An engagement ring would clearly come in handy sometimes. We were perusing the web when we found a product so cute it was worth mentioning. This little product lets you reap the rewards of putting a ring on it without the strings attached – at least for the time being.
You might be leaving LA to interview for a job in NYC when the interviewer asks you what your ties to the city are. While NYC is indeed the epicenter of finance, interviewers sometimes don’t think that’s enough to “tie” you to the city. Instead, a lot of employers simply won’t hire unless your mom and dad live in Brooklyn and your fiancé just got a job transfer here. The unfair part of this all is that while moving to the city that will best further your career is not enough, moving to NYC to follow your fiancé is. Double standards riddle the life of every SPW, and while it isn’t fair, you might still be able to outsmart the system.
Before you go and get engaged to some random guy prior to boarding a plane to that job interview, let us introduce you to an ingenious little invention – the Ms. Taken ring. The ring (2 carats of Australian crystal set in a stainless steel band) is packaged in a discreet keychain so that it’s handy when you need to use it. Slip it on as you jump out of the cab to your interview. Tell them about your fabulous credentials and your “ties” to the city. After the interview, toss the sucker back into the keychain. At least this time, you will get a fair shake at the job without being punished for being a SPW looking to make a good career move. After all, the fiancé can be broken up with at any time.
Let’s say you find yourself at a bar later on that night and some loser is getting a little too close for comfort, you can pop the ring back on and tell the bugger that you’re taken – sorry! While we know you can pick up a fake ring for less than $10 at Claire’s, we thought this Ms. Taken ring was too clever to not give a shout-out to, The name is darling, the website is hilarious, and while we haven’t bought the ring ourselves, we’re pretty sure it won’t turn your finger green. Also, the fact that it comes in that keychain means you don’t have to dig around for it when that loser at the bar is breathing his hot, smelly breath in your ear (let’s face it, sometimes every second counts!). You can just as easily put it back into its little keychain when a hottie comes around to the bar, too. Even if you're not interested in getting the ring, the website itself is pretty hilarious. Check it out!
