existing anywhere but the Seventies?
There is, however a limit to how far this goes. Some fads are just so far-out that they’re destined to flame out before they’ve persisted long enough for anyone to remember them after they’re gone. Those fashions will probably be ignored. Those earrings must be painful. I hadn’t thought about this until the above comment was made at Anthrocon ’99. It’s safe to say the earrings are hollow (and thus lightweight), but have yet to get accidentally dented or flattened, a fate that befell many big, gaudy earrings during the 1980’s.
