So, gauges. One word as a starting point: YUCK.
This fad is SO VERY popular and gross. I was walking down a hallway at school (as I often do) and at least 40% of the people standing around me had gauges. Guys always go with the ridiculously huge holes. I always imagine that a well trained circus tiger or lion would easily be able to jump through these gauges.
Looking at this picture, ARE YOU NOT EMBARRASSED?! YOU LOOK IDIOTIC!!!!
Girls tend to go with the smaller gauges. Sometimes they're very sutle looking. But they still look downright stupid.
There was one time that the hazards of gauging were revealed to me. It was in ninth grade and a druggie with huge gauges was sitting in front of me in art class. His lobe tore apart a few minutes before class started. It was disgusting. I don't understand why a person would submit through the pain of opening up they're ear so much only to have it me ripped apart if not done with extreme care, all for a stupid looking fad. They're ears will be forever malformed unless they undergo extreme plastic surgery!
Among other news, my friends and I finally had the masquerade we always dreamed about. It was awesome and other pictures will be posted in the future but I picked this one out because I think it's hilarious. My friend, Alex, was obviously going for the American Gothic painting style with the props that we had at the Masquerade.
Much sunshine,
