'Bling' - elaborate jewellery and clothing and the appreciation of itOxford English Dictionary 'Bling' - Bling is all about aspiration: I want that fabulous lifestyle! I want glamour!

Marie-Jean Castiglione is the beautiful wannabe from unglamorous and un-street Toledo, Ohio, who impresses Lamont enough at audition to get the chance to make both their dreams become reality. But it's going to take all of Lamont and his posse's know-how to turn Marie-Jean into a ghetto-fabulous superstar
