The only "bling" for me and my simple tastes is the natural looks of the wood grains. Excess abalone (other than a modest rosette, perhaps) is like the overdone "look-at-me" makeup of a painted whore, and inlaid designs remind me of garish tattoos and body piercings. (I've never worn makeup or gotten tattooed, either, and the only things I have pierced are my earlobes, FWIW_)

Well, I suppose we must do what we must do. I like fun decoration, and, a long time ago. I was very interested in painted whores. I would, even now, like a garish tattoo—musical of course, but I draw the line at them and piercings because I’m too chicken for either.
Apparently, woodgrain is what for UUers, and it really is nice . . . and understated. ld:
