... something she's wanted since she was 15!
Was it a pony? No.
Was it tickets to see Liz Phair? No (though, that would still be cool).
Was it multiple piercings? Oh, yes, children. Yes, indeed.
When I was in my teens, my folks were tremendously conservative, so while I managed to get away with the Goth thing, I was strongly discouraged from any kind of permanent body modification. And when I was in my twenties, I was in grad. school, and tremendously concerned with looking as vanilla as possible so as to maximize my chances of finding gainful employment. And now that I'm in my 30s, and pretty happy with things, and realizing that the most important person I need to please is myself? I am letting my freak flag fly. So, I got my ears pierced twice more on each side!
I now have two little stars with teeny-tiny diamonds to gleam alongside my studs. Piercing done and earrings purchased from Venus by Maria Tash in NYC: my piercer was a deeply cool lady named Ashley, and I'd recommend them highly. They also have these adorable milgrained baby bezels that I may be angling for in the future ....
Hey, P.S. - I remember there was a "Show Me Your Multiple Earrings" thread out there somewhere, but I'm danged if I can find it. Can somebody point me in the right direction?
