The Worrying Trend of Large Earrings Could Harm Our Health
Oversized earrings are the fashion accessory of the moment. On catwalks and red carpets everywhere you can't avoid seeing celebrities like Kate Beckinsale, Kate Winslett or Michelle Obama, sporting elaborate pairs of earrings that dangle far below the jawline.
Now doctors have decided to speak out about this growing trend, warning that whilst they make attractive women’s gifts, oversized earrings can cause permanent damage to your earlobes. The number of cases requiring serious cosmetic surgery to repair damaged ears has risen alarmingly of late.It appears our ears dont agree with us hanging blinged up miniature dumbells off the end of them!No kidding!
Although this story has been picked up by a lot of newspapers I highly doubt it will change things in the fashion industry. I hardly think that the danger of maybe one day needing cosmetic surgery to fix your ear is going to put off the celebrity trend setters. High flying celebrities all have their own personal cosmetic surgeons anyway. Anyway, their enormous bank balances aren't exactly going to notice the cost of surgery. They will still show up on TV and in glossy magazines with supersized designer 7-inch drop chandeliers which weigh a ton, but look ‘glamorous’. And, as long as they do, young girls will keep following the fashion and buy cut price and exaggerated versions in high street jewelers. If anything, the controversy is likely to make them even more popular with rebellious teens as they gain notoriety.
Even more damaging is the increasing trend amongst rebel youth to get into "lobe stretching".You might have guessed from the name that this practice actually sets out to squeeze and pull your piercing using progressively larger "plugs".By the end of it you are left with a large dangling circle of flesh hanging from your ears. Now I'm not trying to be a disapproving grandma on this - each to their own. But what happens five, ten years down the line when you grow out of that scene? You're left with permanently damaged and deformed ears and no means to reverse them!
In years to come this particular trend is going to be the cause of much embarrassment when we look at the pictures. Will we all be looking back on these oversized accessories and ludicrously stretched earlobes and shaking our heads in disbelief? Will these monstrous ear adornments end up in the same fashion dustbin as neon leotards and mullets? Personally I'd rather look back and laugh at it MINUS the permanent scarring, thank you very much. If you want to buy me a present, I’d prefer some spa gift vouchers for one of those nice long spa days that will make me look beautiful the natural way.
