The New York Times, on it’s The Moment blog, thinks men’s earrings are making a comeback. First they returned (or never left) among us boys around in the ’80s: Marc Jacobs who “almost always has three diamonds in his right ear and another in his left” and Rag & Bone “sent out male models with multiple ear piercings for their spring 2010 show.” The Moment says the designer Joseph Altuzarra wears a “gold cross by Eddie Borgo, [and] he’s too young to have gone through the ’80s or ’90s piercing thing.”
And that’s not all: apparently people still think you’re gay if your left ear is pierced. Altuzarra said: “I remember the guy who pierced it asking me which ear I wanted. He said, ‘Left is right, and right is wrong,’ obviously referring to sexual preferences. I got my right lobe pierced.”
I’m a child of the ’80s and I, for one, think men’s earrings ought to stay in the ’80s. But judging one’s sexual orientation based on which ear is pierced is also best left in the ’80s. So, what do you think?
