I liked this advertisement for WOOW eyewear.
Like the faces, the colors, the upside down and right-side up orientations.
Seems cool, hip, with it.
Happy hippie times. 😉

Thought this was a pretty nice Gucci bag.
Large decorated bee with expansive wings on the flap.
Beautiful pink with white pearl studs.
Brass chain and red, white, and blue shoulder strap.
Priced around $1500!
Small shoulder bag yet plush oversized and ornate make a big statement.
Nice gift for that special someone or to treat yourself to Gucci! 😉

These holiday earrings have loads of pizazz.
Watch them flash red from ear to ear!
The funny thing is no one else even notices.
What an awesome holiday fashion statement from The Nation’s Capital. 😉

This bag is too weird.
Not a man and not an animal–it’s some sort of beast.
It has a crazy face on it with a gnarly mouth and green bug-eyes.
Is it watching for pickpockets?
Wonder if it bites the hand that tries to go inside the purse.
I can’t look at this thing anymore.
Make it go away! 😉

I just thought these socks with faces were really cute.
I was tempted to even buy some.
But the faces were on the feet.
So you couldn’t see them around the ankle when you wear them.
If you wear the socks without shoes then you can see the cartoon faces.
However, then you also wear out these fun socks
I’m in for fun socks.
Just have to get the faces in the right places. 😉

I hate neck ties in general, but love these specifically.
If you have to wear a tie, these strong gorgeous silk ones called Quindici by Ermenegildo Zegna are absolutely beautiful.
At a retail price of $285 each at Nordstrom’s, they are not cheap, but what a powerful and confident accent for any formal outfit.
These are all for me! 😉

So I see this young man with these large things in his earlobes.
I turn to my wife and daughter and ask if they think it would be okay for me to ask him about them.
After the look at him and me a couple of times back and forth, I get the nod, okay.
First, I had no idea those disks in his ears were called plugs.
(Now I’m a Jewish kid from the Bronx, and to me earplugs are what I use for swimming!)
I asked innocently, “How did you get your lobes that big?”
He then described this process where you start with an earring in your earlobe and over time, you stretch the hole with larger and larger insets.
He had been doing this for 8 years, but confessed that his holes could’ve been much larger by now.
I asked, “Do you ever take them out?”
He told me sure at night, and for showering, swimming, etc.
Curious, I inquired what he does about the big flappy earlobes when the plugs aren’t in.
The young man said, “It’s no problem….it just hangs there.”
At this point, I thank him for talking with me, but now am laughing at the conversation as I read it over, and happy to be a little innocent and even naive to some things. 😉

My daughter found these lucky European earrings today from France.
I really like these Hershey’s chocolate…earrings!
No, they are not really made out of chocolate., but they are in the shape of chocolate kisses!
There are different colors based on the gemstones of the person’s birth month.
There are also similarly rings and necklaces in the shape of the Hershey Kisses.
What a nice way to tell someone you love them and give them a jeweled, if not chocolate, kiss. 😉
