Since it's Earth Day, I have a totally unrelated topic to blog about today. And that topic is plastic earrings!!! I found these at the Japanese Daiso $1 store. I thought they were cool! When I went to Taiwan a few years back, they had a lot of earrings for sale in the night market with plastic studs. I thought it was awesome. My Taiwanese friend told me it prevents your ears from getting irritated like base metals. What do you think? Isn't it a cool idea?
The only flaw is if you shower with them...the plastic backing may reshape and they'd probably be impossible to take off. haha I've seen it happen, I had to use nail nippers to physically cut it off my friends ear. It was gross. lol Now I gotta run to my appointment with my bookkeeper! Business sucks sometimes, why are there so many formalities!?!??!!
Those are adorable! I used to have tons of plastic earrings from when I was a kid... Actually I still have a couple that are probably 20 years old now. I wore some for a video tutorial so you'll see them. My favorite plastic earrings are yellow bears and I'd still totally wear them. ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! wow i never knew there were plastic earrings o__O makes sense but, still. melting to your ear?? that's scary!
ReplyDeleteI love them! I buy mine from this place called The Kitty House, and I think they're better quality than the ones in that Daiso package. hehe the store has a huge collection of colorful and really cute earring designs. They also sell earrings where the design is silver and the backing/stud is plastic. I like plastic backings better because my ears are super super sensitive. I think I discovered their amazing wonders back when I was staring high school, a number of years ago. :P I can only wear either 100% real gold or platinum or plastic, but I'm really happy I found a pair of cute strawberry earrings from Disney that don't irritate my ears at all! ^__^
ReplyDeleteomg that is such a great idea! i have the most sensitive ears and can't wear anything thats not 18K gold because they get all itchy and infected. plastic earrings! uve opened my eyes to a new world of possibilities.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen this before, I would like to test them ^^
ReplyDeletelol this is so cool!!!
ReplyDeletedo they have in different colors?!
i really need to drop by Daiso now since i wanted to pick up some more lashes there. ^.^
how coool! never heard of such thing(x but it's always good to learn something new! teehee
ReplyDeleteI actually have few pairs of plastic earrings but i dont really wear them tho...you got it at daiso? i thought its $2 for everything there.....thats a pretty sweet deal :)
ReplyDeleteI bought some of those when I was in China a couple years ago and while I thought the concept was pretty cool, I didn't like the way they felt in my ears. I guess I'm just used to metal earrings! haha
ReplyDeleteOh I had those about 12 yrs ago? lol maybe even longer. I had the colorful ones, they were so cute and I think they are still adorable. Don't know where to get them here though. I'm thinking they might be good for my daughter? IDK yet.
