delicately balanced and precision made, these yoyos dangle from each ear and at the slightest movement of the head they are sent spinning downwards or bungeed back up; the white gold and diamond bearings twinkling through the transparent casing as they do so.
with a little practice you could learn
to ‘walk the dog’ by using just a fraction more movement of your head, the yoyos will travel up the silver thread, over your ears and back down again to the amazement of all your friends.
‘rocking the baby’ is more complicated and may take some weeks to accomplish but will definitely keep a toddler amused and may actually mesmorise them to sleep so its definitely worth pursuing.
the ‘forward pass’ involves the yoyo/yoyos extending forwards some feet and may not be appreciated at dinner parties but as a self-defence move it is incomparable.
please remember though that these are not toys but sensitive items of jewellery and the manufacturers cannot be responsible for breakage if treated roughly or inappropriately.

Yo-yo ear-rings
http://www.snpp.com/episodes/8F16.html
Done, like everything else in life, in the Simpsons. The Twirl King troupe had Sparkle, with a yo-yo in each ear. There's a mention about 1/4 way through. Please forgive my geekiness. [suctionpad, Dec 15 2004]

These would make the perfect anniversary present, along with the precision weighted hula necklace. |
|

Around the world could prove hazardous. |
|

Imagine those singers who move around alot and swing their heads, wearing these. |

Hooray for [po]! I can now buy the Missy jewellery without getting bored - "Wow the Cartier 5000s! These come with high rev. diamond axles and emerald spinners as standard!"[+] |
|
| |
nice, [po] that's using the old noggin. |
|
| |
Pat Butcher eat your heart out. |
|
| |
if he doesn't I might and that's a threat not a promise. |
|
| |
funny, I was thinking Bet Lynch. |
|
| |
Go for it po, and that’s an encouragement not an encumbrance. |
|
| |
Fun and sophisticated jewelry, all in one. Talk to me, Harry Winston! [+] |
|
| |
Images of telletubbies joining the Massai tribe fill my head. |
|
| |
thanks FJ. classy, very classy. |
|
| |
not ear-rings, suctionpad! |
|
| |
Thanks [FJ], but I can see the illustration neither in-line nor via the link. Had similar problems with one of [bris]'s recently too. |
|
| |
how can 6 people hate this so much?
or me! |
|
| |
I need a sabbatical perhaps. |
|
| |
We love you [po]! Anyway, given your last posting I can't see a sabbatical lasting more than 24 hours. |
|
| |
uhm . . . 7. And it's not hate! Hate is such a strong word. |
|
| |
Wow, are those huge canary diamonds on either side of the "string"? |
|
| |
what are canary diamonds? |
|
| |
[po], canary diamonds are yellow diamonds. They're absolutely gorgeous. |
|
| |
do you know someone who might buy me one for xmas? |
|
| |
Two words: sugar daddy. And ask for more than one! |
|
| |
<obligatory variation on the old tongue ring joke.> |
|
| |
pardon? nice illustration ... |
|
| |
There's me, thinking you meant the minty biscuits! |
|
| |
Can't believe I haven't seen this one before. Also uncanny the way the illustration is *exactly* what [po] looks like in real life. |
