    About two years ago I got an e-mail from a couple who wanted to wear
    vials of each other's blood. 

    They wanted to know if I would make decorative holders out of silver
    to hold small glass vials of blood. 

    After I was through gagging, I told them no, and I referred the
    question to this list to see if anybody else wanted that job. 

    Someone out here said they'd done it before (!). I also got a reply
    stating that some Hollywood couple was wearing such items, and that
    was where the person who asked me probably got the idea. I forgot
    all about it until this thread came up. 

    I Googled it just now and found out that the Hollywood couple in
    question (now divorced) didn't even use vials-- they each put just
    one drop of their blood into a locket for the other one. The media
    had apparently turned lockets with a drop of blood into vials
    containing several cc's of blood. Amazing how some things get blown
    out of proportion in the re-telling, isn't it?
