90's Piercing Dilemma

  Stuck in a 90's piercing funk?  Ever since Camryn Manheim won the Emmy in '98 I wanted earrings up my ears. Well, I got 'em.  Once a year for the next 7 years I added to the one piercing I already had to each ear.  I finally had piercings up each ear but, I couldn't sleep!  Each earring hole needs an earring stud.  Duh!  But, I didn't realize how sensitive my skin was until I tried putting a set of cheap earrings in my ears and ending the day with red swelling ears.  Having more than one piercing means if one piercing gets irritated others will follow.  To say the least I needed another plan!  One idea was just to put the 90's behind me and stick with two piercings, simple, classic and professional.... No!  I couldn't do it.  I worked to hard for these ears and I loved them!
  One day while taking a day trip to Carmel I walked into a little gift shop and found 5" ear string.  It was a miricle cure for what ailed me.  The design is like a needle and thread, one end has a stiff needle like piece of metal and the other end has a stud.  You can thread it through any way you wanted and it came with a few decorative beads.  I think it was intentionally made for those who had one piercing in there cartilidge so they could decoratively connect it to the lobe piercing.  I used it a little differently.  Since I have a few more piercings then I did when I originally bought ear string I have upgraded to a 6" thread and ear string has since deflated I have to buy the thread from www.artbeads.com.  But, it's an amazing price and I think it looks pretty chic.  I ditched the beads years ago.
Without further ado, here you go!

See you all soon.
