Ear rings

As I started to express myself I searched for clip on earrings that actually stayed on.  I remember being crushed when I lost the wirean earring at a gay bar.  Getting my ears pierced was a big step for me out of the closet.  Since then I have enjoyed finding and wearing different styles.  I also found early on that I can loose one even now, especially the slip through wire style.  I now back them up with a little plastic slide that one pushes up the wire behind the ear.  Here is a pick of a collection.  I had hung my wife’s up years ago and recently did the same for myself.   Mmmmm does that go with this outfit?

 Wow so cool ! I got my wife a bracelet and earring rack from Michael’s craft store a few months ago, and someday I want to get one for myself although I definitely plan to paint it a different color as the matte black metal doesn’t appeal to me too much. I haven’t gottten my ears pierced yet but I think about it all the time, I think I’m going to get my ears pierced before I get the little tattoo that I want, maybe next year. One of the things that I really want when I finally finish with bottom surgery is a little white rabbit tattoo on the back of my shoulder, I don’t know why but it seems fitting and of course I love bunnies !

Hugs,

Very nice Charlize!  I use those plastic keepers also.  My wife used to occasionally lose an earring so we've both learned to use them.

Very nice collection! I’ve been pierced so many times now in so many places it’s kind of funny. I’ve had everything from the piece of skin between my fingers to my neck belly privates tongue nose lips eyebrow. So many holes. Lol. Most are gone now but I do still have 5 in my ears and I’m thinking about doing my nose again. Second row up third from the right, I have some that are almost the same. And I have silver leaves like your gold ones. ?

I don't have my ears pierced, but I do remember a friend years ago who has multiple ear piercings. I used to put all the studs in for him. I cannot remember the actual number of holes, but I used to think he was going for some kind of record lol.

 

That's a lovely collection Charlize. I do occasionally wear clip ons or magnetic, although they can get painful after a couple of hours.

I would love to get a few more piercing but when i got mine pierced the first and only time i had a great deal of trouble with infections.  I still have to be careful years later.  It seems that i'm sensitive to various metals.  The holes can quickly get itchy and start to discharge and soon they are inflamed.  I have a pair of gold hoops that i then use until things quiet down.  If i clean the posts with alcohol and use a touch of A+D ointment it seems to help and the lube from the A+D helps the posts to glide in.

Ohh Vanity!!!  

 

Hugs,

With me,I have to watch when buying any earrings.Have to be nickel free,found out when I was 18 that I am allergic to the nickel used in silver earrings including my gold earrings.My earrings including jewelry are all nickel free which cost a little bit more.

Got my first PA piercing years ago.  Still viable but I don’t use it.  Ears about a year and a half ago. Other body parts last year but removed them before they healed completely.   I know not everyone can get away with pierced ears, but there are enough men with pierced ears these days I didn’t worry about it.  Tattoos are not my thing.

I got my right earlobe pierced maybe five years ago, and have always loved wearing long dangly earrings in it. Love an asymmetrical look!

 

On my birthday this February I got my other earlobe pierced as a little move toward transitioning. It was a problematic piercing and took forever to heal, but just a few days ago I was finally able to take out the ugly stainless jewelry and start wearing my own stuff.

 

That first day with my own jewelry in both ears I also had a good hair day with my nice long hair and I just felt so Validated. I felt real, felt comfortable, felt like me in a way I don't know I ever have!

 

Earrings can be MAGIC and I think I will always be a little obsessed with them.

Push pins! What a clever idea! 

I only have 3 pairs of earrings. 2 pair of CZ studs and a pair of large hoops. I'm boring, lol.

But they're all sterling silver because of my nickel allergy. (and my body jewelry is titanium because it's hypo-allergenic)

I've had a great time with those push pins.  They allow me to arrange things to create an appealing display.  It's such fun to pick out something that works for my mood, outfit or feeling.  Just a part of enjoying myself as myself.

 

Hugs,

The only ear rings I can wear for any length of time are the actual piercing studs. I have found that my body is allergic to most types of metal. What I have had to do is just wear pretty ones for a few hours at a time and then take them out and either go back to the ugly studs or just go without. I havn't worn anything in over 10yrs until this past weekend and my pretty's went into the holes with no problem. I was totally amazed that the holes didn't grow closed.

You might look for pure nickel as I've read it is the best material for those with allergies to metals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.

      Well, at least it'll be a place some folks could choose.  Options are a good thing.

      My family would have gobbled that jar up in a minute or two.  When we do have pickled herring, its usually for Christmas.  I didn't grow up with that particular dish, but I grew up in a Greek family so I like just about any kind of fish if I can get it.  However, ocean fish and freshwater fish taste so different.  We usually have more catfish and tilapia to eat than anything else.    What I can't quite get used to is the tons of cabbage my GF insists on eating.  When you live with a Russian, there is always cabbage soup.  Always.  When I first moved in with her, breakfast was "shchi" for soup and either bread or "kasha" which is a bowl of boiled buckwheat with butter and salt.  Those dishes can be made in any number of ways, some are better than others.  In the winter, it can even be salty and sour like kraut.  Not exactly sauerkraut, but packed in tubs with vinegar and salt so it keeps partially for the winter.  But I drew the line when the cabbage soup included pieces of fried snake one day.  😆

      Good evening to you as well @Mmindy   That is awesome that you have support from her side. My dad has communicated with me once and that was because he was forced to. His new wife wanted to spend time with my kids. He hated me so much he was in the process of taking my rights away as a parent to my two boys. He was talking to a lawyer and I called him out on it. I don't love him at all. I'll respect him because I wouldn't be here without him but I wished I had another father. My uncles don't talk to me and unfriended me on Facebook. Almost all cousins except for two are still Facebook friends but they don't give me any support. My mom said she won't support me with that but she has said that she loves me. I have nieces and nephews that are still Facebook friends but they have yet to talk to me. I have one sister that supports me out of three. The other's disrespect me by deadnaming me. They have never called me their sister. I think for them they think it's still a phase. They don't ask questions about me being trans. I have to bring it up and on the look of their faces they don't look comfortable about it.

      Good evening @Ashley0616,   I just got offline with HP tech support trying to get my printer tool box icon locked to my tool bar. This is one of the most important features of my printer that I like because it keeps track of ink, paper, and scanned documents. I'm diffidently not a computer geek.   I'll catch up with the other bookmarks next week. We leave to go home for the Easter Holiday with our families. Saturday with her side, and Sunday with my side. What's odd about that is I'm out to more of her side and they're reluctantly supportive. My side on the other hand are less supportive, and my sister just under me in age will not acknowledge my being there. She will be constantly moving to keep from dealing with me. I'm dead to her.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      I used to follow baseball and the team I would cheer for is Boston Red Sox. My favorite player was Papi. He was an awesome guy and even held a child during the National Anthem. I haven't watched baseball for a long time. It just died off to me. 
    • Ashley0616
      That stinks that nothing transferred, and no bookmarks were saved!

      I'm doing patches for now but I think soon I'll go to shots because it's hard to alternate when you are doing two xx patches at once. Unless she gives me Estradiol and progesterone

      Go Cleveland Guardians!  I love baseball and I loved playing it when I was younger.

      My view is we are "dependent" on government, because as a society, we are too lazy to stay actively involved. So, we let politicians do our bidding for us.  I think we'd be in a better place government wise if we policed the actions of our politicians.  We elected them; they work for us.  Sadly, we are allowing them to run amok.  We are where we are because we have chosen to let politicians make all decisions without us.  Remember "by the people, for the people?" That was the intent of our democracy.  Today, however, it is "by the politicians, for the politicians," the people be damned.

      "Play Ball! Batter Up!" is the closing line of the National Anthem as far as I'm concerned. It's the call of the Home Plate Umpire and signals the start of the game. I grew up in the TV and Radio broadcast of the St. Louis Cardinals. Harry Caray, Jack Buck, Tim McCarver, and Mike Shannon, were the voices on my transistor radio. KMOX 1120 AM pushing 50,000 watts of Class A clear-channel non-directional signal. It could be picked up all across MO, IL, IN to the East. KS, OK, CO to the West. IA, MN to the North, and KY, TN, AR to the South. There has always been a rivalry against the Chicago Cubs, in the National League. As for the American League, I have to pull for the Kansas City Royals. I've also been a Little League Umpire, and fan of everything the Little League stands for. Going to Williamsport, PA and seeing the Little League World Series is in my top 10 things to do on my bucket list.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good evening everyone,   I don't think my mother ever cooked a meal that I didn't like. We also had a kitchen where mom fixed the food, dad filled your plate, and you eat it. It wasn't until our baby brother was born that we could have Pop-Tarts for snacks. Before that all snacks had to meet mom's approval, and in her opinion wouldn't prevent you from eating supper.   Well my day started off on a good note, but has become frustrating because my IT person didn't transfer my saved videos I use for teaching. Then I found out that they didn't save any of my book marks for websites I use frequently.   Best wishes, stay motivated,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
