Abrazo de Tango :: Selling Diamonds with Tango

More co-opting of "El Tango" for commercial/advertising purposes. The Belgium Diamond House offers the D'Agostino Duet, the Donato Solitaire, the Fresedo Duet. "Tango is more than a dance...it's a love story...that begins with an embrace..."

I have to laugh. But I guess we should be happy that people/companies are doing this. I suppose. Perhaps it helps spread more tango around the world.

This is from seven years ago. I found it on Vimeo.


Abrazo de Tango from Belgium Diamond House on Vimeo.

TANGO is more than a dance, it's a love story that begins with an EMBRACE.



Belgium Diamond House has always sought inspiration from artistic influences in human history, and our designers have been captivated y the art of Argentine Tango. Even if you don't dance, once you wear one of our meticulously crafted "Abrazo de Tango" diamond accessories, you'll be immersed in a world of timeless grace and passion.

Steadicam Tango Cultural Appropriation

Y'all know how I feel about products stealing the name "Tango"...fuckers...although this one kinda makes more sense...a body mounted crane-cam stabilizer...

Oh wait...the motherfucker has trademarked TANGO™ ...that dog ain't gonna hunt...https://www.garrettcam.com/steadicam-tango/...not that he's going to start suing anyone over the use of the word...still it just rubs me the wrong way...
