INDIO, CALIF.–Not all dates are the kind you see on Match.com or in jewelry ads. Convincing you to buy diamonds to celebrate Valentine’s Day, jewelers say women surveyed want them as gifts. Marilyn Monroe said “diamonds are a girl’s best friend,” but Queen Scheherazade her sights on something else.  Love comes in many sizes and shapes, and the beautiful young miss will be cozying up to ostriches and camels this week to officiate exciting and strange races where riders mount these desert creatures for crazy excitement like you’ve never seen! You’ll discover  it isn’t all that bad when you take your sweetie for a drive out to the California desert to see the Indio Date Festival–dates guaranteed!  This year’s Date Festival and Riverside County Fair line up looks especially promising with a headline concert provided by Wynona, but that’s just icing or whipped topping on the date shake.
