Paris Hilton may be in the Skull and Bones


This photo is kind of old and shows Paris Hilton at some sort of junket in Las Vegas. I've drawn attention to the pattern on the shirt (tie? scarf?) she is wearing underneath her jacket. Skulls with the number 322. Just another celebrity fashion trend or something else?

I read a book a couple years ago by Alexandra Robbins called Secrets of the Tomb. Its kind of an exposé on the YALE secret society known as Skull and Bones. The 322 originates from one of the Skull and Bones society's aliases, Lodge 322. Other known names of the society: The Order of Death, The Eulogian Club, and Cooperation Star. Initiates are known by a variety of names as well, including Bonesmen or GBdBs (Great Bones (of the) Boodle) (HAHA!). President George W. Bush is a member.

In 1992, the Skulls began allowing females into the fold. So, is Paris a Boneswoman? Is she of the Boodle? Was she forced to masturbate in front of her fellow initiates in the basement of the Tomb? Did she dine on an old set of Hitler's silverware? According to Wikipedia, Paris never went to college. She did, however, drop out of the Dwight School in Central Park and get her GED. I don't think they let you in for that :(

Paris Hilton wears a Gothic Ring

Paris Hilton had to fly to Ischgl, Austria to promote a new packaging for Prosecco sparkling wine...cans. If my sparkling beverage was making the transition from bottles to cans, you can bet your bottom dollar that I'd want Paris Hilton flown in by chopper, Tyrolean Alps be damned. She took the mic for a bit and did her part, but nobody seemed to remark on the fact that she is wearing what appears to be a gothic style of finger armor ring. This type of jewelery is often worn by the type of people who like to be ready to tear the flesh from your body in the event that, say, vampires are discovered in Barrow, Alaska.

Listen, I don't know what the F* Paris is doing wearing one of these rings. Maybe she got hyped on the release of Dungeons & Dragons Online, maybe she found it in the chopper, I mean really, who knows. It's interesting but its kind of a dead end. I do have a friend who is kind of into this stuff and apparently this style of ring comes in quite a variety of models. Here is a list of some of their names:

Alien Skull
Dragon Claw
Witch Knuckle
Phoenix
Thresh Fledder

Hemlock Poison

Finger of Doom
A Bit of Finger
Dreamfinger
