Root vegetables and their uses ...
Not earings, but following your theme there is this group making vegetable music in all styles and serving fresh soup as the concert encore:

O-M-G, I just don't know what to say about the images that video creates.
Think about a modern Hollywood actress getting ready for a red carpet, with a trip to the tanning booth (as deadly as the lead makeup), veneers on her teeth, hair extensions, false eyelashes, fake boobs, Spanx, yeah, not much different!
What the heck is this? I think the judges on Project Runway would have taste and styling issues with this look.
How did anyone actually meet and fall in love? No wonder arranged marriages were all the rage :)
Thanks for laugh gals!
I can't even begin to imagine all that, especially those wigs. Loved the video.
The pages in the Horrible Histories - Gorgeous Georgians about fashion and make-up inspired a scene in my WIP -- I can't find the actual book just at present (buried somewhere in the stacks of research books piled around my room) but I don't remember the carrot earrings, and I haven't encountered them anywhere else. I think it was just a bit of fun for the video.
ROFL! Thank you for the laughs! Too funny!
Just goes to show how relative standards of beauty are. Rather interesting when you compare cultures and time periods.
I do agree that the pages in the Horrible Histories - Gorgeous Georgians about fashion and make-up inspired a scene in my WIP. Thank you for sharing this with us.
