It all began this evening at work; the only white employee, disappointing patrons when they are surprised realize that they would actually employ a white girl to work at a sushi restaurant and that, despite their expectations, it wouldn't be a geisha taking care of them for the evening. In the midst of me trying to convince professionals to buy excellent (but still expensive) cocktails and getting soy sauce spilled all over my H&M-I mean Diane von Fuerstenberg- little black dress, the owner of the restaurant approached me to let me in on a little jolly. Apparently, all of his friends had stopped by the restaurant at one point or another, and just my luck, were lucky enough to have me as a server. Each of them, on separate occasions, also referred to me as "J.Lo."
I immediately apologized to the boss, letting him know that between mononucleosis and working two jobs, working out hadn't exactly been my top priority as of lately. I also told him that I ordered a new Bender Ball and that if he gave me three weeks (according to Leslee Bender's promise in her infomercial on Lifetime), I'd be back to better in no time. Ignoring the latter comment, he looked at me in his heavy accent, laughed, and said, I think it's your choice in jewelry.
It was at that moment this evening that I realized that hoop earrings weren't just my staple (Since the fifth grade, I think I've developed this complex that hoop earrings are my trademark). Despite it being a mainstream accessory in Providence, Rhode Island, I realized how unique I was for wearing hoops on a daily basis (For me, no outfit is complete without a pair).
But hoop earrings have defined careers beyond myself and Jennifer Lopez, and have inspired the likes of many brilliant women that continue to influence women today:
Donatella Versace
Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny"
Nene Leekes from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"
Anna Nicole Smith
Maria Corrente of Salon d'Talia in North Providence, RI and also my stylist!
Daisy de la Hoya from "Daisy of Love"
Selena
Olivia Newton John (when Sandi becomes a Greaser at the end of the movie)
Bottom line is, there's no better way to make any simple outfit just a bit more daring. And it's also not a bad thing to be compared to J.Lo after all.

P.S. If anyone wants to buy me those hoops that have your name going through them...
lol ang you are hilarious, i'm dying!

dismiss the earlier notion that developing of genital skin tags should

Skin tags can affect you and anybody else at any age and irrespective of your
skin type.
