Bauble & Chain

Come on, you’ve noticed, too. Images via McCain Blogette.

Now, I openly admit popping in to Sephora to purchase a shade of Stila eyeshadow that Ms. McCain recommended on her blog. Seriously.

But there is something about those giant hoops that seems borderline…inappropriate? To confirm this theory, I conducted a rather cursory Google search to take the pulse of our great nation on this topic.

Big Hoop Earrings, Trendmill. Too bad the post isn’t dated. How else will I know if this is a new trend or an old one, Trendmill?? Also, the hoops featured don’t meet the exact specs of McCain’s.

Do You Think BIG Hoop-Earrings are Cute?!, Yahoo Answers. I’ll let the responses speak for themselves:

• no. i call them hore hoop earings
• nope, sleezyyy.
• They kind of remind me of a prostitute. Especially the really big golden ones or something from the 70s disco era.
• Maybe they were once but now I think they are very scanger/chav like
• No. In high school, my friends and I called them “hooker hoops” cause all the slutty girls wore them.

That’s what I was afraid of. I too remember the big hoop girls from high school.

If you want to live dangerously:
