I used the word 'bling' in a conversation with a prospective client today! WHAT?

You have to understand-I'm a country girl, raised on bluegrass and Hee-Haw country, trained as a classical pianist and vocalist, steeped in old time gospel at church. So hip-hop isn't part of my world...

But I suppose 'bling' has really become part of the current vernacular! I was discussing whether this gentleman would prefer a large house for the money, or a smaller home with more 'bling'-at which point I had to stop the conversation and laugh at myself for using that word-and he laughed as well, since he knew what I meant!!!

It's so easy to live in an insular world-working in real estate and real estate jargon...going home to my little people and singing little people songs...but in popular culture, Pimp My Ride is going strong and even though I'll never have them, I have to know what spinners are to relate to my client base!
