Um... I'll start at $7.50


#2 of 29 by otter on Sat May 18 00:01:17 1996:

I've had some e-mail about the earrings and would like to clarify.
The part that goes in your ear can be a post, kidney wire, or "french" wire,
or they can be made clip-on style. Gold- or silver-tone in any version.
The quills are blunted and sanded so they won't poke you or catch on 
clothing.
Choose one of three designs (I will mail sketches) or we can design something
together.
Brighn is about to *steal* these for less than half the usual price...

Thanks for making me laugh first thing in the morning. I suppose I could 
discuss it with him. ;)  Although, if he has more than one answer to that 
question.....;)

(If I suddenly big 20.00 would that piss everyone off? 
(THAT was a joke)


#18 of 29 by popcorn on Wed May 29 13:12:40 1996:

(The money would be going toward a good cause, so people are likely to be good
natured about it.)


#19 of 29 by popcorn on Wed May 29 13:12:59 1996:

(Besides, they can always outbid you, if they're serious about getting these
earrings.)


#20 of 29 by brighn on Wed May 29 16:34:52 1996:

(Valerie, Jenna doesn't have $20, nor does she have the holes in her
head to deposit said earrings... though *takes out a hole punch* I'd
gladly make them for her)
*brighn is still wvering*


#21 of 29 by shade on Wed May 29 23:59:56 1996:

<you said you wouldn't and if I wanted it I could
acquire 20.00$ relatively easily, but I probably
would have just given them to you ;}>


#22 of 29 by brighn on Thu May 30 03:28:49 1996:

You can thank Weird Al, Marla.  I can't afford to see him in concert
*and* get these earrings, so they're yours (assuming no one else wants them,
of course...) =}


#23 of 29 by robh on Thu May 30 06:00:12 1996:

Weird Al has done a lot of wonderful things for many people
throughout the years.  >8)

Kae's just trying to dump them before I change my mind again.
