By Roger Edwards


Gatherings for a cause are made more fun these days. It is not just about the awareness you can acquire from attending, but also the opportunity to share that cause to the people outside. And sharing information, along with the fun, has been a lot easier now. The Internet has nothing to do with it, but fashion does. Like a proposed campaign, this object received criticism from the time it was first sent out, until the present. Despite this, it still made its way to reach popularity and become something people want to talk about.

Wristbands have been so mainstream ever since they were created and never once did anyone get bored and fed up of using them. But the journey of the hip arm jewelry did not stop there. Some brilliant mind came up with the greatest lightweight arm companion ever known to man.

The first exposure of these comfortable wearables was during a fundraising campaign led by Lance Armstrong for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The baller bands were used as a fundraising tool by Mr. Armstrong for cancer awareness and research. Since then, other charities made use if this bling to promote companies, charitable institutions, campaigns and awareness programs.

Online searches show about 1,750,000 results on businesses engaged into selling this kind of merchandise. A large number of these shops offer customization services. There are also some who are open to resellers and give discounts to bulk buyers.

Ribbons were of much use to the people back then during organization gatherings. They would sometimes walk to places to show their dedication towards a certain cause, signified by pinned ribbons on their shirts or banners. During those times, every color had their respective meanings and advocacies.

Nowadays, even rock band concerts and album debuts have adapted this new rubberized trend. Stage play performances are also trying out this contemporary strategy. In some events, these wristbands are the invitations. Thankfully, the fans and spectators are okay with it.

Another trending use of this fashion item now involves your cellular phone. An increasing number of businesses now sell these bracelets as a universal phone bumper. The type that you can stretch all you want, no matter how bug your phone is. A number of people even came up with the idea of using it as a hair tie. It is one unbreakable piece of handiwork.

It is remarkable how a seemingly simple object could be used for various reasons. This simple piece of silicone has become a hip trend all around the world. It has become so mainstream even celebrities have experienced wearing these small pieces of rubber around their wrists. So if you say that these pieces of rubber are baggy, you might want to think again. After all, style is not about sticking to the rules. It is about going around those rules, but never breaking them.
