51 year old women gets ears pierced on live television
Yesterday on the Oprah show, Oprah got her ears pierced on live television. Did you know Oprah has worn clip ons all these years? I had no idea. As my mom and I watched Oprah freak out over getting some holes in her ears my mom told me that’s how Id be if I did that now. I whole hearty agree, I am wuss when it comes to things like that. Oprah squeeze the hand of an audience member like she was having a baby. I have to say, it was quite entertaining.
My mom kinda resents not just giving me earring as a baby. As Oprah says “without their consent!” Amen Oprah. When I see babies crawling around with earrings I don’t think its cute. I think, that poor baby. You know it cried and cried for no reason other than their mothers can have a cutter baby. There are some ugly babies out there, but those are very few and far between.
I’m no tom-boy but I just don’t wear jewelry often. It doesn’t make me feel pretty, it makes me feel uncomfortable more so. I think if I would to pierce my ears now it would be weird. Not for Oprah since she’s actually worn earrings all her life, were I have not. If I walked around with some bling bling on, everyone would wonder what’s up with me. Silly Oprah, if I ever decided to pierce my ears, it would not be in front of a large group of people. But, the holding of the hand is very important, for more than just piercing ears.

Sometimes Oprah annoys me. Did all of America really need to see her get the lobes pierced?
I was one of those babies crawling around at 3 months with gold studs. I am also one of those twenty-somethings who are very wussy. So, it’s a dang good thing my parents held me down and pierced my ears (actually, my doctor did it) because there’s no way I’d get them pierced now and I feel naked without my earrings (that sounds really girly, which I don’t consider myself to be, but I do like my earrings in).
I can’t believe Oprah did that. No, I mean really. Who cares that she wanted to get her ears pierced; and did she really have to do it on national television?
ratings my friends, it’s all about the ratings.
i wholeheartedly agree! my mom did not pierce my ears as a child and i think that is a grotesque thing to do to a baby. i did decide to pierce them when i was like 10 or something. but i’ve since let them grow back. i hated changing the earrings and felt they weren’t really me anyway.
ohhh now I had my ears pierced when I was a toddler. and I am glad. because now I am the queen of bling….
and you know what, someday I may pierce my babys ears… because its cute, and they’ll get over the pain…
gosh I think that says something sad about me….
