Mariah Carey Reignites Old Trend

Mariah Carey has been all over the UK papers with Hello Kitty band aids on her fingers. Like happens to many products endorsed by celebrities, the old designer bandage trend is kicking off again.

I hate Hello Kitty but it did get my thinking about what I would want stuck on me. Lets face it, "flesh" coloured plasters don't fool anyone, so loud and proud is clearly the way to cover your injuries. These are my five top favourites...

Beef assortment - makes the grade on the strength of the name alone
Sushi - well why not?
Boo hoo kisses - a bit of kitsch is bound to cheer you up
Crime scene - scare off the germs with these bad boys
Jesus - do they have his amazing healing power?
