Oh no! Not the door knocker earrings! I wore studs or small hoops. (I have 4 holes in each ear) I used to do a lot of baby sitting and didn't want a rugrat pulling them out of my ear

My mother (a doctor) once told me the lovely story of the teenaged babysitter who came to the ER because she was wearing dangling earrings when she went to babysit... baby saw something shiny dangling in front of his/her eyes, reached up and yanked... ow. Stud earrings are safest around little people.

Haven't people been wearing them the past 3 years or so? I think they made a comeback because of SATC or something. A lot of people around here wear them for going out and such.

I've only noticed them within the last few months.

Folks, when I say hoop earrings, I mean BIG hoop earrings. I'm wearing a hoop in my cartilage right now, but it is only dime-sized.

I teach middle school, and as I sit in the library right now...there is a 12 year old girl with BIGGGGGG hoops, 2 the same size in each ear. These things must be the size of dinner plates. Its enough to make me want to keep wearing my standard pearls. All of my kids want to know why I always wear big white dots in my ears. I have a second hole, but I haven't worn anything in it in years.
