bling bling (bling-bling)

Explanation:
Man sier visst bling og bling-bling både på norsk og engelsk (evt. uten bindestrek: bling bling).

Søk på bling på norske sider Google og det blinker og glimer overalt.

"Bling-bling jewelryBling-bling (or simply bling) is a slang term in hip hop culture referring to flashy or elaborate jewelry and ornamented accessories that are carried, worn, or installed, such as cell phones or tooth caps."

bling glamorøs

Explanation:
"at en ting er så glamorøs..."

Hvis du vil foretrekke å oversette det. Ellers ville jeg nok valgt å beholde bling, som Egil foreslår.
