Is Wal-Mart trying to lure more upscale shoppers? We mentioned back in April that the company was going to court upscale shoppers and it appears that time has come. Wal-Mart is offering this 18K Gold Ring on their website.  The 1-3/4 carat diamond ring features a 1-1/2 carat, square-cut fancy-yellow grade center diamond framed by white diamonds. The price?  $9,988.00. Might as well call it 10 grand. 10 grand and Wal-Mart. Just doesn’t sound right, does it?

Remember when tattooing was illegal in Massachusetts? Ahahahaha. But seriously, every once and a while this town starts to feel wicked puritan. Luckily, we have Ray Aims, the Boston-based body-piercing performance artist. Tonight at Art Interactive, someone’s gonna get poked and laced live. Titled “Flesh and Foundation”, the performance will explore “the fine line between beauty and pain, structural integrity and decadence, the temporal and the seemingly infinite.” Part of Art Interactive’s Summer X Games events, the show will also include a set by DJ D’hana, video and exhibit art. Bostonist has walked by dozens of in-mall ear-piercings without batting an eyelash, but we have to admit that Aims' work looks quite moving.
