Thanks for all the bracelet shots. Jessicat80- you're right, the Madonna bit is a red string with 7 knots. Christie, what a memory! An old cricket ball is just about right, for the texture. Still, Heath had this "meaning" thing for each tattoo, so these bracelets might have had some unusual meaning.
Koolkat, your libido is showing. But Keren is absolutely right, Heath was indifferent to what was allowed for men, and these bracelets show that. I wonder if there's any pictures combining all the forbidden: bandana, bracelets, ear ring? He really was able to do all this and still not look like a refugee from the East Village.
