Lindsay Lohan's Plea To Chanel: I Need Bling!

In a poor attempt to make her alcohol detecting bracelet look less like a bulging black box she'd like to bedazzle it up with some stickers...Chanel Stickers.

Lohan wrote on her Twitter: "Can CHANEL please help me out by getting me some stickers to put on my scram bracelet so that I can at least wear a chic dress?! maybe!? x,”

But the maker of the ankle bracelet warns that anything that affects the alcohol-monitoring device could be considered a violation and could trigger its tampering mechanism. So adorning the lightweight monitor with sequins or stickers could be fraught with problems for the fashionable actress.

The alcohol monitoring bracelet is a small, pager-like device that tests for alcohol in perspiration on the skin numerous times a day. The device sends information to a base typically in the offender's home, which in turn delivers the data to the monitoring company.
