>> Mary-Kate Olsen Engaged to Thousandaire Webmaster Michael Shipley

January 13th, 2006 - Articles

I'm not supposed to be telling anyone this. She wanted to keep it a secret. But I'm so excited I just had to tell you guys. It's true. Mary-Kate and I are engaged!

Here's proof. I bought her an engagement ring. To throw off the media, we're saying she bought it herself.

MARY-KATE BUYS HER OWN ENGAGEMENT RING


MARY-KATE OLSEN won't be taking any chances on her boyfriend's taste when she decides to wed - she has already bought her engagement ring.

The Olsen twin has reportedly bought herself a $250,000 (GBP138,900) vintage ring - even though she hasn't even got a regular date.

The 19-year-old actress, who is still broken hearted after splitting up with Greek shipping heir STAVROS NIARCHOS in October (05), bought the antique 19th century rose-cut diamond-and-emerald engagement ring from a private broker, according to American magazine In Touch.

A pal tells the publication, "Mary-Kate hasn't worn the ring yet. She keeps it tucked away in her jewellery box, but she takes it out to show her friends and she looks at it all the time, too. It's breathtaking."

You want to know how I found this ring at such a cheap price? I don't like to brag but any ding dong can walk into a jewelry store and get a ring like this at full retail. I am nobody's ding dong. I had a trick up my sleeve.

She loaned me $500k for a ring which I agreed to pay back at $50/month for 10,000 months. But I knew I could get the same quality ring for half that. Then I'd only have to pay her $25/month for 10,000 months. Or, $50/month for 5000 months. Now that's what I call a good way to start a marriage to a responsible cost conscious coupon using woman like Mary-Kate.

I knew I didn't want just any ring. She's special so I wanted to get her something special. Something vintage. I knew this because that's all she talks about. Vintage this and vintage that. I didn't even know what the word meant. So I looked it up.

It seems that vintage means old. REALLY old. George Clooney old. Can you believe it? Why she wants old stuff when she could afford new stuff I'll never know. For some reason she likes old crap. Me I prefer new crap.

I put the word out on the street -- specifically in the diamond district in NYC. I was on the market for a ring. Specifically a vintage engagement ring. But, most importantly, a cheap vintage engagement ring. Maximum price: $250k.

It wasn't long before I got a bite. I got a call from some guy, who sort of sounded like Rodney Dangerfield, telling me he had what I needed -- an antique 19th century rose-cut diamond-and-emerald engagement ring. Price: $250k. Perfect. He said to just take a walk down 47th street  between Fifth and Sixth Avenue and he'll meet me there. I agreed.


Diamond District, NYC

I grabbed the cash and started walking down 47th. I heard some guy whisper to me from an alley...

"Hey, bubee, you know, the last time I saw a face like that it had a hook it. And oh, by the way, you look hot, want some ice?"

At first I thought I was being propositioned. Happens a lot. I got a face like a boiled fist but I have a great ass. So I just gave him my standard reply: thanks but I don't swing that way, not that there's anything wrong with that.

Turned out it wasn't that type of proposition. It was the guy from the phone call. He grabbed me and pulled me into the alley.

He called himself Jacob the Crazy Jeweler. He said I was in luck -- he just happened to have one vintage engagement ring left at 50% off the full retail $500k. Score! He asked for the money.

I know what your thinking, but I'm no fool. I demanded to see the ring first. He carefully opened what looked like a hermetically sealed container. He said that it keeps the ring from deteriorating due to oxygenation.


Special hermetically sealed container that held the vintage ring.

He dumped out some stuff. Sort of looked like brown popcorn. He said they were pellets that protected the ring from cosmic rays. Sounded, and tasted, good to me.

Finally the ring fell out. I had to admit it, the ring def looked freaking old man:


Vintage one size fits all engagement ring

I asked if he had different sizes in case it didn't fit but he claimed it stretched so it was one size fits all. That was a plus.

I searched my feelings. Did I feel confident giving this total stranger I just met in an alley $250k for a ring I had no idea was authentic? Yes. Because he promised my money back if I wasn't totally satisfied.

He said he'd be back in that exact same alley tomorrow at this exact same time if I wanted a refund. This may sound cocky but I think I'm a pretty good judge of character. This guy looked trustworthily to me so I gave him the dough.

So that's the story. Believe it, or not.

    I’m starting to wish it wasn’t true. I don’t think I’m going to live long enough to pay MK back. Unless I live for 4000 years. :mrgreen:

  • I Know 100% It’s Not True,

    Because He Would Not Post Any Pictures With Mary-Kate And When he Does, They AQre Going To be Fake Pictures,

    He Will Just Write Stories About Being With Mary-Kate And All That Sweet Stuff In WRITING,

    Then He Will Write A Letter Saying That They Broke Up.

    I Know 100% It’s NOT TRUE.

    Emlguerr — January 14, 2006 @ 5:17 am
  • Well I don’t think it is true Micheal but any how if it is true that you proposed then trust me she would break up with you in no time.:twisted:
