Aspiring model Alexis Neiers, the daughter of former Playboy Playmate Andrea Arlington, is known as "the quintessential party girl."http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-the-bling-ring/ The thing that sets Neiers apart from the norm is that she and several of her 18- and 19-year-old friends have been linked to jewelry burglary and are referred to as "The Bling Ring." They may soon have the burglaries of several celebrities' homes on their record.

Originally, Neiers and 20-year-old Tess Taylor, a Playboy Cyber Girl, hit up the Los Angeles nightlife hot spots to the extent that E! offered the two their own reality show. Entitled Pretty Wild, it begins airing March 2010. But now the question is being asked, is the show going to track Neiers and Taylor out and about on the town, or track Neiers on her way to jail?http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-the-bling-ring/ Her courtroom drama has been filmed by E! for the upcoming show.http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2010/02/qa-nancy-jo-sales-dishes-on-the-bling-ring.html

According the "plot" of the show, Neiers and Taylor are the troublemakers and the center of drama, living it up with eternal parties, and hot guys. Oh - and the occasional celebrity break-in. Actually, Taylor hasn’t been connected to the “Bling Ring” burglaries, and Neiers says that breaking and entering Orlando Bloom's home and the theft of about a half a million dollars worth of his belongings were in no way voluntary. At the time, she was drunk.http://starcasm.net/archives/38787

Sources at Vanity Fair were quoted as saying that the group is "The most audacious burglary gang in recent Hollywood history–accused of stealing more than $3 million in clothing and jewelry from Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, and other stars–appears to be a bunch of club-hopping Valley kids, motivated by vanity and celebrity-worship."http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2010/03/billionaire-girls-201003

LAPD Officer Brett Goodkin, the lead investigator on the case, told VF: “It may be a stretch, but is wanting to wear somebody’s clothes that different from wanting to wrap yourself up in their skin, like that guy in The Silence of the Lambs”?http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2010/03/billionaire-girls-201003
