The wine glass necklace has to be one of the best inventions ever --

Also, one of the silliest.

In theory, it's a great idea.

Wearing your wine glass around your neck leaves you free to cook, change diapers, or work on your computer.

But it also leaves you looking like, well, a buffoon.

That's why I just had to try out the wine glass necklace for myself at a trendy bar on a recent Friday night.

Yes, folks. I TOOK THAT DARE -- and while I worried I'd be shunned, I was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn't the case!

There was a smart, funny crowd on hand that night, and they had lots to say about my, erm, interesting new accessory.

Check out the latest episode of "I'll Take That Dare."

I loved this dare. We had a lot of fun that night.

And by the way, if you're sort of wondering what the hell I was thinking CRIMPING my hair for this episode, you should know that I took this dare immediately after taking the Ke$ha dare. We had a tight production schedule in order to get these delivered in time for CafeMom Studios' first season, so I went into the ladies' room of this trendy bar, changed out of my Ke$ha clothes, combed out the rats' nest that was my Ke$ha hair, and completely redid my makeup.

I did all of this while a bunch of uber-hip women filed in and out of the restroom and stared at me, appalled, because they had no idea who I was, or what I was doing, or why I had all of my makeup spread on the counter beside the sinks, or why I had glitter paint over one eye. One woman asked what was going on and I told her I had just done a circus performance. It seemed easier, somehow, than explaining the whole story behind "I'll Take That Dare."

But it wasn't easier.

"The circus?" she asked. "Wow! Where was the performance?"

"....Vanderbilt," I said. Vanderbilt University was about 15 minutes away, and it was, I realized too late, a highly unlikely venue for a "circus performance."

"Oh," said the woman uncertainly. "What exactly do you do in the circus?"

"I'm a contortionist," I said, wanting to be anywhere at that moment except in that restroom. I had lied my way into that situation and it was getting worse and worse.

"Oh," she said quietly, and left. I guess I'm not a very convincing contortionist.

Eventually, I finished putting on my makeup and emerged a totally different person. A wine glass necklace-wearing person!

What do you think? Would you wear a wine glass necklace?
