Why Not Just Walk Around With Bank Statement Tattoos?

A reader sent us the link to the art of Lee Gainer, whose “Two Months Salary” series shows what kind of rings an A-list actor can buy, as compared to, say, a fast food cook.

Gainer’s statement on this work reads: “The diamond engagement ring has evolved from a luxury item mostly purchased by the wealthy to a must have for any bride-to-be…This campaign has been so successful that we now, as a society in general, equate a man’s personal worth and love for his future spouse with the size of a shiny rock.” [Lee Gainer]
