It’s A Women’s World

Some of the most difficult items to find in this day and age are clip earrings. During this time of many piercing accessories, few people have untouched ears. There is a good reason why I want to find clip earrings. I am one of those few who have closed ears. This may come as a surprise, but some people do not have pierced ears.

The quest for clip earrings has led me in many different directions. I’m not particular and I only require two things out of the jewelry. First of all the clip earrings have to be comfortable. You would be surprised to discover how much a pair of these things can really hurt. Many times I have had to take my clip earrings out because I couldn’t take the discomfort on my earlobes. The pain is usually great when a pair of earrings is too heavy. If the clip does not hold the weight evenly you will know it and within a few hours you will find yourself either in tears or pulling the clip earrings off of your earlobes.

It is important that the jewelry is light and this is ideal for me because I like small jewelry. Here is the next problem. Few clip earrings are small. This is ironic because they need to be light weight in order to be bearable for the wearer. If you can find a small pair of clip earrings, hold on to them. Usually I have pretty good luck getting this hard to find jewelry at the occasional estate sale. These sales can be great resources for anyone who wants to find older merchandise that may be very difficult to locate in regular stores. You can also get your hands on some beautiful clip earrings if you are patient.

I like to visit antique stores as well. Clip earrings can be found at these kinds of stores on occasion, but it is really hit-and-miss. I have had some good luck at times and other times I have come up with nothing. Other great places to look for clip earrings include yard sales, second hand shops and flea markets. You can find a lot of unique styles and some newer versions of the earrings at these kinds of sales. My newest resource is online shopping. The World Wide Web has opened my eyes to a new adventure in finding clip earrings. I have discovered that they are not nearly as elusive as I originally thought.

I grew up in a small, conservative town, so I never really saw funky hair color until I went to college. I had one roommate who had very dark brown hair, but managed to get blue and pink into her hairdo. She had used bleach to bleach the ends of her hair and then had dipped them in the Manic Panic color. The look was certainly new for me, but I soon found that at my college it was very common.

I guess when you go to an art school you can expect to meet people of all types. I have always had a very open mind, so I was as not surprised as some of my more conservative friends when we noticed that almost half of the student body had some sort of funky hair color. It became so common that it was hardly worth a second glance. Many people who have a funky hair color do so for the attention. They may say that they are trying to express themselves, but in reality they like to see the reactions of others.

I am all for personal expression and doing whatever you want with your life, I do not like hypocrites. I found that some of the people with funky hair color were indeed hypocrites. One guy in particular had a six inch tall mohawk that was usually purple or blue. Though he was a nice guy for the most part, it bothered me when he complained that people were staring at him. Not only did he have a funky hair color and a mohawk, he also had at least 13 piercings in his face. I could not for the life of me figure out why he was surprised that people were staring at him. What else did he expect them to do?

Though having a funky hair color is not as shocking as it used to be, there are some cases when it is not a good idea. You probably already know if this would be something that would be acceptable for your job or not. If you do not have a job that will allow you to have a funky hair color, you can usually find something temporary that will last only a day or two. If you use that, you can go around with a funky hair color on the weekends, while remaining presentable for work during the week. It’s wonderful to express yourself, but it isn’t worth losing your job over.
