Cynthia Rowley Band-Aids Are So Rad We May Start Wearing Them For Fun
Who wouldn't love a sequin or a gold chain to cover a cut?
It’s kind of crazy timing that Cynthia Rowley has teamed up with Band-Aid to design a range of bandages because just weeks ago we searched the Internet high and low for some cute “plasters” (as we’d say in Ireland). We found the usual skull ones of course, then there are those “bacon” ones which are just too gross and not even funny anyway. We usually end up with Spongebob or Dora on our fingers. Anything is better than those fugly nude-colored things.
The reason, by the way, that we were seeking cute bandages was because some utter douche tried to pass us on the inside on the Williamsburg Bridge bike path. Who does that? People come out of the friggin’ womb knowing you don’t pass on the inside. On a positive note, we didn’t end up in the ER and the bruises are almost healed. It could have been a whoooooole lot worse.
The Band-Aids designed by Cynthia Rowley are so rad we may start wearing them for fun. There are sequin ones, catwalk-image ones, diamond-y looking ones and even chain ones. We love that they’re multi-size. Sometimes you really need a square plaster for a knee graze or whatever, and we know most knee grazes are NOT from bike accidents. Just sayin’.
