I had some chamomile tea tonight. It was tasty. It got me wondering if it tasted better than the chamomile tea my friend had last night, which was graced by the presence of a fruit fly.  ;D
Hahahaha!

c.1300, in me is wo bigone "woe has beset me," from begon "to beset, surround."

I always thought it meant "woe, be gone!" (as in "I am wishing this woe would just go away allready.")

I'm happy to report she drank it anyway.  :D

I'm not wasting perfectly good tea just because a fly decided to take a swim in it!

I find chamomile tea disgusting.  I'd as soon drink pure infusion of flies with no chamomiles.

Sure! Diamond ear studs are one fine example of that.

Sure, why not.

I think it depends what it is, where it is and what it's for. E.G. A tiara when going as a drag queen to a fancy dress party would be fine, but probably not if you're trying to impress a lady on your first date.

I would totally date a guy if he showed up to our first date wearing a tiara.

But I might be a minority.  ;D

If I showed up to a date wearing a tiara and she wasn't impressed, I'd be gone. No point in wasting time.

Does she have to be truly impressed or would you settle for delighted and amused?

Resaon I ask is that any 12 year old with a Claire's nearby can procure and wear a tiara.  It's really not that hard or impressive.  It would, however, be really funny and kind of charming in an offbeat kind of way.  You'd have to follow it up with a great and quirky personality though.  Funny quirky guy in tiara is funny and charming.  Weird quiet guy in a tiara is probably planning to throw you down a well and wear your skin for a party dress.

LOL. I was thinking more of a "I'm not impressed" attitude, rather than a "oh that's impressive" response. So yeah more find it amusing, break the ice and take it off. If they keep it on there's your warning.
