George but did I get a shock today. Now maybe I am just behind the times or whatever, but I really am not a fan of all the permanent markin's these younger people are doin' to themselves. Oh, a small tattoo in an unobtrusive place is not all that bad, I guess, but have you ever seen a butterfly on the wrinkled butt of an 88 year old woman. It is an ugly sight.
Piercin's are somethin' else. I mean I used to be appalled when they would show them African tribal women who had worked so hard to stretch their lips so as to put a plate in it, or to stretch their necks so as to put a million rings around it, or those that had a bone through their nose. Uggggh, it grossed me out. Why would people do that to themselves. I mean if you are not happy with yourself the way you are, you got problems that no amount of stretchin' or mutilation is gonna fix anyway. Well, maybe millions of dollars worth of plastic surgery might do some good, but then again, you might end up looking' like Micheal Jackson.
I understand the need for jewelry, for the need to adorn oneself to show status or to enhance beauty. There are things that are attractive, like beauty marks. They draw the eye to the face and if the face is worth beholdin' - well it is worth beholdin'. OK, I am sure that earrings pinched the heck out of ears and that piercin' ears might be worthwhile if you need to adorn your ears with earrings. To tell ya the truth, I have become so accustomed to earrings, that I expect to see them adornin' a woman's ear. I am not even all that appalled when I see one in a guy's ear either, but always suspect you gotta be a just a bit gay to put a ring in your ear. However, I think nibblin' an ear is delightful, and I hate havin' an earring gettin' in the way of my delight.
OK, so that brings us to the trauma that I am experiencin' right now. As my regular readers likely know, I am enamored with the sight of a lovely female belly button. I find the sight of them to be so sensual. However, like ears, I wanna put my mouth all over them.* George, but the last thing I wanna see is some metal object obstructin' my pleasure. Nope, I hate navel rings, nose rings, nipple rings, or anything of that nature. It is such a turn off. Last eve, I found that this gal that I was fantasizin' 'bout had a belly button ring. That totally fucked up my wet dream.
*I do have a tendency to be quite oral with those delectable females who I find to be delicious to behold.
Posted by notGeorge at December 12, 2003 11:38 AMI have had a left ear piercing since my 20's......my favorite line about men's piercings: A man with a pierced ear is either gay or a pirate!! I am neither.....but being a pirate might be fun!
Posted by: oldcatman at December 12, 2003 03:30 PMWhen I first started thinking about getting my ear pierced, in 1967, the men I knew who had done so were either gang members (common at my high school) or older beats who had been to sea. By the time I had it done, in 1970, I'd heard people say it was a gay thing, but they said the same about my long hair, and the gays I knew wore theirs short and didn't wear earrings, so I ignored that. The hoop I've worn for the last 20 years is a background thing to me, altho I'm proud of my role in the Defense contract which the bit of UNS20910 specialty stainless it is made of was surplus from.
