"Work the room in disguise.
Who says being engaged is all that? The biggest upside is being left alone, once people spot a ring on your left hand. Whether you're trying to dodge dodgy dudes at the bar, heading to a reunion or visiting your nagging grandmother, slip on your Ms.Taken ring and act as if. It says committed, without the commitment.
Polished to a perfect shine, this 2-carat Australian crystal is set in a simple stainless steel band. It starts as a size 7, which your jeweler can easily adjust for you. The classic, simple, elegant design pairs perfectly with any style – and no one will guess that it isn't a genuine diamond." (Via the Ms. Taken website.)
Ms. Taken was kind enough to send me a Femme Fatale ring. I excited opened it and was pleasantly surprised by how realistic (and shiny!) the ring is. Plus, it comes with a handy key-chain case to carry it around in and a set of witty Playaz cards featuring "unsuitable suitors." I've shown my ring to several friends who have ooooh'ed and ahhhh'ed in response. I haven't been able to wear my ring out yet, but I'll be getting it sized soon. And be sure that once I have it on my finger, I'll be going out and "testing" its effects. ;) I wonder what happens if I run into the bf while wearing it? Haha.

The Waitress definitely sounds like me. I've had a lot of creepy men who were much, MUCH older than me write their phone numbers and/or email addresses on their checks. The Ms. Taken Femme Fatale ring would put an end to those!
Just "liked" lovely undergrad on FB!
Oh I'd definitely get a ring because I used to be "The Waitress", and I got a lot of "Jamaal That's" hitting on me! Maybe because I've got a little junk in the trunk, but still. This definitely would be helpful for that!
I love this ring! This summer I was the Jet Setter while studying abroad and the Ms.Taken ring would have been so handy with the ever persistent touristy shop owners!
I've also been pursued by a Mr. Macho van Strango - I love jewelry so for him to be wearing more than me was huge!
I follow LU and liked LU on facebook! I'm so excited about this giveaway - hopefully all the entries are okay in one comment?! Thanks!
i like LU on fb & i love to party but i'd like the ring for different reasons... i want to keep guys from hitting on me b/c i've got a long distance bf and it's just awkward :)
i couldn't figure out how to leave my email so bmr(at)cornell(dot)edu
thanks!
Haha this is such an awesome idea. I'm studying music and the music/arts building is crawling with the "Mr. Vincent Van Gone." It would be so nice to be left in peace when I just want to sit and enjoy my breaks from class.

I guess I'm The Jet-Setter! I'm planning a trip next year to a conservative country where this ring just might come in handy!

I've been talking about getting myself a ring for a little while now, mostly thanks to "Mr. Jamaall That". I even told my boyfriend, and he said "Thanks for taking the pressure off of me!" (to provide the ring, I assume).
I already follow, "like", and subscribe to you... :) vuttaro@me.com
I am a Jet-setter/Waitress and tend to attract a different sort of man: The one who is 10+ years older (and thinks I'm younger than I am, can you say creepy?), has four kids and 1-3 ex-wives. These guys usually open by trying to help with something that I don't need help with or by getting their kids to break the ice (Neither of which is offensive to me). They also assume that I want to settle down and have a family right away (I don't).
I can't enter because I'm from Canada, but can I just say this idea is genius! I myself have a "taken" ring (but not from this site). It's a great idea!
I'm an art education major, so I DEFINITELY run into plenty of Vincent van Gone's. This is hilarious!

I'm mostly the 'party girl'- I'm in a sorority and have a boyfriend at another school so I always encounter creepy guys at socials and things! This ring would be lovely for nights out downtown or for faking my parents into believing I'm engaged haha
