In case you haven’t been hanging around here for the past several eons and don’t know me from Adam, I am obsessed with all things Harry Mason.
If you have no idea who … hey, wait a minute! What do you mean, you haven’t been hanging around here? Why not? Is there something wrong with me? Why do you hate me? What did I ever do to you?
Did I enjoy it, at least? Hopefully one of us did.
By the way, who the hell is Adam?
I love Harry Mason and if you have no idea who I’m talking about, Harry Mason is a former disco dance instructor/hippy/slalom-skateboarder-turned-jewelry-designer hailing from San Francisco who creates gorgeous, innovative, funky and unique earrings that make your ears moan and shudder and pass out from sheer ecstasy.
Did you know that if you click on his ad in my sidebar over there ———————> you’ll find a coupon code for $5 off? Well, of course you do. Because I just told you.
How much do I adore Harry? I’ve sung his praises HERE and HERE and HERE.
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do sing off key and makes ears bleed all over the globe. What’s your point?
Harry doesn’t make ears bleed. He makes them gorgeous. His claim to fame are his earspirals which twist into your ear. Well, not your ear per se, but the pierced hole in your ear, but I’m betting that if I said that he makes stuff that twists into your hole, I’d have three tons of spam, courtesy of PORN ‘R US.
Oops. Too late.
Some earspirals are simple and classic … just like me!
Except, not really.
And some are slightly more … shall we say … involved? Off the beaten path? Marching to the beat of their own drum?
Totally like me!
I make my own drums because I can’t find any that are whackadoodlish enough for me. I use tires, plastic wrap, duct tape and cheese. Because I’m an artist, in addition to being a blogger.
Just call me a jack of all trades!
Or, jack-ess of all trades!
Not to be confused with jackass. Of anything.
Which I certainly am not.
Except, not really.
You can go small.
Or go big! Like they do in Texas!
Not that I have any idea what they do in Texas because I don’t live there. I live in New York where we do things expensive and then tax the ever loving shit out of it.
Know what I do know? I KNOW I HAVE THESE SPIRALS!
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
When ears have eargasms, they made weird, high-pitched noises, just so you know. Be prepared.
Nate bought these spirals for me when we were in San Francisco for our tenth anniversary and when I wear these, my ears have the Big O and yell Don’t hate me because I’m beautiful in forty-three languages.
Kelly LeBrock, eat your heart out. Or your ears. Whatever.
For those of you who don’t know who Kelly LeBrock is and have no idea what the hell I’m yammering about … are you old enough to even read this blog? Go ask your mother.
Speaking of mother …
Would you believe my mother has these?
My mother, who cannot call my land line without reaching my cell phone because she’s technologically impaired, who still refers to jeans as “dungarees” and who had to be dragged kicking and screaming into the twenty-first century, bought these for herself and wears them out to dinner or to the Thee-Ah-Tah (theater, for those of us who are normal) and gets so many compliments on them that she finds it necessary to call me on my land line and reach me on my cell phone and brag about them.
My seventy-eight year old mom wears these and hence, is cooler than me.
Stunned disillusionment, party of one? Your table is ready.
.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Don’t tell my mom about eargasms because as far as she’s concerned, I don’t have any gasms WHATSOEVER.
.
Can you hear them?
.
Can you hear them now?
You know, when I wore black rimmed glasses, I sounded a lot more like the Verizon guy on the commercial when I typed that.
.
On the left is an ear cuff. On the right is an ear fancy.
I don’t bother with all the different names. I just call them yummy.
.
How pretty is this? It’s like someone drizzled liquid gold all over your ear lobe.
Wouldn’t that feel nice?
.
You can even mix and match from Harry’s arsenal. I will take one of everything and pair it up with two of everything else.
Thank you.
I’m kind of liking these threads. I’m considering piercing my ears 22 times and creating a macrame sculpture out of these.
This is what I like about Harry’s stuff … it’s different, it’s unique and it gets you noticed and I when I say it gets you noticed, I mean that in a totally good way and not in a HEY, IF YOU WEAR YOUR PANTS ANY LOWER, I’M GOING TO GIVE YOU A PAP SMEAR kind of way.
So … what’s up for grabs?
I thought you’d never ask!
A $100 shopping spree to Harry Mason Designer Jewelry, at his online shop or at any of his stores!
All of our other body parts get pampered, right? We get pedicures for our feet and then dress them in Uggs and Jimmy Choos, we spend hours at the salon to get our hair done and then cough up more money on hair product to make it appear as if we just woke up that way, we get our boobs lifted or, if we’re on a budget, we slap on a wonder bra from Victoria’s Secret for the same effect at a fraction of the cost, we go to Sephora and make our face look ten years younger, we go to the gym and tone our arms and abs and thighs and butt or go to Kohls and buy some Spanx that essentially does the same thing without sweating.
So why not pay attention to our ears, ladies?
Why should our nether regions corner the market on all the gasms? Don’t our ears deserve a Big O every once in while? I mean, they’re the ones that actually have to listen to all of us and if your ears are anything like mine, they’ve probably had it up to their eyeballs with all the whining and complaining and yelling and lack of bipartisanship and worst of all, all the damn Miley Cyrus-ing or, as she’s known in our house, OH MY GOD, STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT, BEFORE I STAB MYSELF WITH A SHOVEL.
Do ears even have eyeballs?
.
.The scoop:
- To enter, leave a comment in this post and tell me one thing you hope to get for the holidays this year. I’ll go first. I hope to get busy. Quick, someone tell Nate, before the moon leaves the seventh house and I come to my senses.
- Anyone 18 or older can enter. I was eighteen once. I was older once too. Lots of times, actually. Too many to count.
- The shopping spree expires thirty days from winner notification.
- Winner must confirm notification within 48 hours or I’ll have to choose a substitute which will make me sad and I’ll probably cry. Have you seen me cry? It’s not pretty. There are bodily fluids involved.
- If you have trouble setting limits, like me, you can spend more than $100 and simply apply the $100 to your total due.
- No entries after 9:00 pm eastern time on Sunday, November 29, because that’s when I will be outside examining our Christmas lights and making sure they are uniform and symmetrical. Coincidentally, this will also be when Nate is standing stoically by my side, biting his tongue and reminding himself of our wedding vows, specifically that pesky “’til death do us part” bit.
- I will use Random.org to choose the winners. Yay! Yippeee! Whoo hooo! Am I the only one excited by the possibilities?
- One entry per person. Entering more than once leaves me gobsmacked. I have no idea what that means, but I always wanted to say it.
- My blog theme Thesis is still messing with my comment numbers. It numbers all the way to up comment #300 and then starts back at #1 again. It’s infuriating but I’m aware of it so go ahead and post your comment and don’t worry if there are duplicate comment numbers! It’s under control, which is more than I can say for my temper whenever I even mention this.
- I’ll announce the winners on Monday!
.
That’s it!
Good luck!

My Christmas wish is that I will get motivated to work out and get rid of the fat that has invaded my body. Black Friday shopping, trying on clothes in dressing rooms, and poor lighting all contributed to the realization that my stomach and legs REALLY need more attention!
woah! To be the owner of my first Harry Mason jewelry ever…that I have admired and cooed about for so long….Husbands don’t even get hints when you tell tham EXACTLY what you want! and of course lots of love from my great nieces and nephews!
Well, I was asking for a Cricut Expression with scal, but after seeing this post, screw ‘em! I want the ear threads and wraps and many other fancy doodads and geegaws!
I’m thinking I’ll have to give Santa a hand and purchasing the “V” ear-cuff in white gold that I’ve been looking at on Harry’s web site for while… It will go *perfectly* with the diamond ear spirals I wear all the time… 0-; 0-;
I hope to get time – time with my kids, time with my husband, and time with the rest of my family and friends. If I can’t have that, I’ll take any gift certificates I can get for a housekeeping service! And a new pair of earrings wouldn’t hurt.
I would like a small nice gift…something unexpected.
What I need is money to pay off some bills. Either
woud be great!
I hope to get a night of uninterrupted sleep. That would be grand.
I fell in love with Harry mason my first trip to SF. I had to take my Mom the next trip. She loves him too. I am wishing for a pair of Harry Masons for Christmas.
I want to have this Christmas be a really positive time for my family; a clean report for Amy’s cancer; continued great health and growth for our beloved Elliot as he celebrates his first real Christmas; strength and continued good health for their husband and father, Robert; and a successful recovery for my husband’s ankle surgery. Family is precious–never forget that! As for Harry’s great earrings–I started a charm loop for my best lady friend, Donna, and hope to keep adding charms for her to wear at work and play. I can add some to my collection as well, hopefully! All of this goes well in a world with peace and understanding! GET THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT!
I’m hoping for return tickets to USA this year
I would love to return for another holiday and do yet more shopping at Harry Masons!!! – nothing like that over here in NZ.
I love unusual earrings and Harry’s are just the thing.
I hope to get a pair of every design!!
I would like all my children to be happy, safe and have jobs!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Harry Mason jewelry. This Christmas I want to enjoy spending time with my grandparents who may not have much time left.
The only thing I want for Christmas is a full time job, again. With that, everything else can get back to normal! And who knows, if that happens soon, maybe I can celebrate Christmas this spring sometime! Then again, I consider Christmas as much a state of mind as a date.
Happy Holidays!
Love earrings, love Harry Mason earrings.
In addition to earrings, I wish someone would give me the DVDs for Waiting for God…
I hope to get my house in order so shopping, wrapping, etc. is easier.
I’ve been ogling these for quite sometime…just not quite in my budget. They’re stunning!
What do I hope to get for Christmas? Well, I already know! My boys are coming for Christmas…the best gift I could ever ask for.
As always I hope to make new/more wild and crazy friends
I was first introduced to Harry Mason Jewelry at the Harvest Festival in Sacramento. I love the designs and have bought many. People always stop me and wonder where I got my earrings… no matter which pair I wear. Thanks for the great jewelry.
I bought a pair of spirals when we visited San Franciso a few years ago and loved them so much that I bought them for my daughter and daughters-in-law for Christmas and now we are all “spiralling” out of control….love em
World Peace! The family together for the Holidays!!!
I’m sincerely hoping to win this drawing. I’ve been hooked on these earrings for at least 10 years and I love,love,love them.
Love Harry Mason Jewelry, I’ve had many of their earrings and two necklaces for many years and have given the website to many friends, now that I live in St George, UT I really miss the store in SF CA. I have to go back at least one a year when I head back to Ca.
I am hoping for job in the new year.
I’d love some foundation – I’m almost out, and I can’t leave the house without it.
Before I saw these earrings, I wasn’t sure…….now I know. ROFLOL Those are absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing this website.
I’m actually hoping that for Christmas my DH will tell me I can get new kitchen cabinets next year.
OMG! I want you for an extra daughter. Your blog is hilarious! I feel like you could be part of our fun-loving, crazy family, too. The day my 4 year old grandchildren told me “Bye, crazy Grandma” was the day I felt like I had “made it in her eyes!” I love your word “gobsmacked.” We stopped giving adult gifts last year due to all of our economic difficulties here in the Bay Area. We all have more than we need anyway. All we need is each other and LOVE. I do fill as many shoeboxes as I can each year with gifts for children around the world through Samaritan’s Purse and their Operation Christmas Child program, though. And buy my 6 grandchildren a gift or 2. I didn’t want anything for Christmas until I saw the beautiful Ear Fancys here. I also love the silver earspirals with the turquoise. I bought my first Harry Mason earspiral at a Harvest Festival, too, years ago. I have had SO many compliments on them. I’d love to have a new eargasm, so I hope I win your shopping spree.
I want to get Harry Mason Earrings!!!!
i hope this year to see my family and friends in good health
Wow, now I hope to get some of these for Christmas! How stunningly gorgeous!!
I hope to get more harry mason ear rings and a hol back to san francisco. all my mates in scotland love my ear rings fab xx
some great ear doo-dads!!! I’d love me some, but I still want a new digital camera for the holidays too!
To lose the last 11 pounds of pregnancy weight that my sweet baby girl blessed me with
I love Harry’s jewelery and would love something in 14K.
I am dearly hoping to find something to give my mother! She’s just impossible to shop for.
More Harry Mason ear cuffs AND a beautiful romantic x-mas with my new love!
Some rest and relaxation is what I am hoping for. Thanks for the article and giveaway! I love the earring designs and am so glad those of us not living in San Fran can still buy the stunning earrings online!
I want… an A on my physics final!
I’m going to get a Cricut and 5 cartridges I really want from my cute husband. There is no need for me to hope because I purchased them myself and gave them to him to wrap. He has a month to get them out of the shopping bag and into wrapping paper, we’ll see how that goes.
I hope I get a new soldering iron for my stained glass projects, the other one wore out after about 20 + years and after seeing the Ear Fancys I would add them to my list.
awesome blog! ur a gifted writer and I luv the R rated slant!
I also luv my Harry earrings, cuffs and ear pins! I need more! Thanks for the
!!!!
I am from Australia and when I was in San Francisco last year for a holiday I found Harry’s at pier 39 and fell in love.
I now just have to purchase all my lovely goodies online. The problem is with postage and when our Aussie Dollar is lagging behind it can get quite expensive. I have had a gorgeous pair of snowflake earrings in my wish list for quiet a long time (THQSNOW08SSIR) so I would be so so happy to get these for Christmas.
Happy Holidays from Oz
I love all of Harry’s earrings.
I hope to get a set of flippers so I can ride my boogie board out in the surf. I am also a huge Harry fan. Between my mom and myself we have many, many earrings from Harry, but since moving to HI we have missed going into his stores and seeing him at craft fairs.
I am not a big fan of jewelry but am very impressed by the unique style of this jewelry. The detail in the lines are fabulous and have a very elegant touch to them. I could see myself wearing any of this jewelry for work or play, casual or fancy.
For the holidays , I hope to get a very special letter in the mail….
I’m hoping for a cure for cancer. No, really.
I know, a bit extravagant, but what can I say, I’m shooting for the stars.
I discovered Harry Mason last fall when I spent a few days in San Francisco after a trip to Japan. So unusual and beautiful. The only earrings I still have complete pairs of.
This year I hope to see my family. Aside from my brother’s wedding weekend last summer, I haven’t seen them in 8 years. I think I’m due.
I love these earings SO much, I may have to buy a pair, regardless of whether I win a gift certificate or not!
I am hoping to get a Wii for Christmas, then I will buy Wii Fit and Wii Active, and get fit and active before my 25th high school reunion in August (hi, Andy!!!).
I am also hoping having my mother and sister and I all in my little one bedroom house for a week doesn’t cause any of us to kill each other. That is actually what I am really hoping for this Christmas.
Gorgeous stuff!!!! I don’t think I have any wants right now. I spoil myself too much throughout the year, I don’t really want anything.
For this Christmas, I would finally like to find some solace from the grief I have been in due to the death of my beloved husband! He bought me my first earspirals…they rock and so did he for always buying me the best gifts. I love you, Dennis…Always and Forever!
Lisa
This Christmas I want to be with my family and see the new generation playing together.
I have never seen anything like those earrings before – they are Gorgeous!!!
I hope for a new camera for Christmas. Or some lipo, but a camera would be cheaper.
I love my spirals. I dropped one of my favorite ones on the floor and stepped on it. I sent Harry an email for how to send it back and received them back in about a week. I get compliments on mine all the time.
I want a diet that will work, helping me to improve my overall health. (It’s not fun when you start to creak!) I would love to spend time with my family. Lastly, I would love more earrings from Harry Mason (my patients at work love them!). Best wishes to all for the season and may you each receive to love and time from your friends and family!
I would love a dishwasher (I have been wanting one for years now). Thank you
I hope to get a new car. ok wishful thinking lol
I’m hoping Santa will bring me a pair of threads this year for being good all year!
One thing i hope to get for the holidays this year is gas money to get me home with my family.
i hope to get out of family obligations this year
With the way the economy has gone, I’m thankful to still have a job (despite the pay cuts)! What do I want for the holidays? To spend time with family and friends. Please don’t forget to help out those less fortunate so they can have a Happy Holiday, too!
By the way, even my doctor complimented me on my Blue & Green Opal Earspirals. Don’t you have to laugh when someone is staring at your ears and trying to figure out how you put those on but are too embarrassed to ask!
I hope to get some gift cards from family members. It’s always good to pick out your own gifts!
I am hoping for a Vita Mix machine, for juicing!!!
Hope to get my wife some of these awesome earrings by winning the $100 shopping spree.
I hope to get lots of delicious compliments while wearing my beautiful earspirals on my vacation in INDIA! =)
I can think of so many things that my daughters need….but for me not much I guess I would like a subscription to audio books I enjoy listening to books on cds…
Found your link at Harry Mason’s site! I just love his jewellery! I had quite a collection until my house was broken into and they took every piece of jewellery that I owned
I have been a HM fan for over 10 years having first encountered him on a trip to San Francisco…. would love to win the $100 so that I can replenish my supply!
Great site… will now go and spend a little more time reading your other posts!
I hope to get some shiny new jewelry!
I am wishing for christmas, so win a pair of Harry Mason earspirals. so when I am out with the girls drinking and showing alittle classiness, mixed with a little sexy devil side with my awesomely sexy earspirals that will seal the deal a midnight!!!!!!!!!! I will leave the rest up to your imagination ?????????????? Peace Love and much Happiness to all !!!!!
this poor girl has been single to long!
I’m hoping to finish my research paper so I can submit it before it’s too late.
I am hoping that I do well in all of my college classes. I pray that I do well on my flute juries. I hope to get some part time job once the new year starts. I hope to be able to read some of my cheesy romance novels. But even if none of that happens, I am glad that I have friends and family that care and love me.
I’m hoping to get a camera bag for my new camera! Wheee!
I hope all 4 of my sons will be home for Christmas. What else can a mother ask for.
I would like to have all of my children and grandchildren here for Christmas.
I hope that everyone in my entire family and my husband’s family will see the light and be loving to everyone else.
eargasm!
i want !
I’d really, really like to retire. In the realm of the possible, I’d like an Ipod Touch!
Love, love, love Harry’s stuff!!!!
I really hope to get blue hair. Or rather approval for blue hair. I am capable of dying my hair myself, but knowing my kooky relatives, I would be rapidly disowned and although they are migraine-inducing and must be visited in small doses, I do love them dearly and would hate to lose them over one of my artistic acts that never fail to confuse them.
I’m honestly hoping to get a laptop and maybe one pair of these elegant earrings for New Year’s Eve party.
I hope to I get a Laptop for Christmas.

I would love to win these earrings for my mom because she has problems with the regular wire earrings and I know that this are very unique and would stay nicely on her ears. I would love to make my mom smile for Christmas
God Bless ^A^ and Thank you.
I Love those ear pieces , I Would Love to have one. Coolio, I may add.
For Christmas i would love a new top set of exquisite dentures.
I leeerve HM earrings, but after reading so many of these things, I realize I’d like lots of other crap too! I’ll add a house, a new car, a husband, and a Keurig Platinum edition single serve coffee maker, which now makes ICED coffee! W00T! Happy Holidays, y’all!
-Corinne
I’m hoping that Santa will drop by and strip some wallpaper for me! LOL
Thanks a bunch!
I would love to get more Harry Mason earspirals for xmas, especially the inlayed ones. Love the long ones. Would also like to get the Vitamix machine.
I hope to get a new coach purse.The one I have now has seen better days.
My husband & daughter went to San Francisco & of course, Harry Mason without me (I was out of vacation time due to surgery). But, they brought me back Harry Mason presents! I would love to see the place sometime myself, but until then I’ll have to be content with shopping online. A $100 shopping spree would certainly be helpful!
My mom purchased my first pair of ear spirals on a wonderful ‘girls only’ trip to San Francisco about several years ago. We had so much fun that day and I will never forget the store and the great time I had with my mom. She just went to Hospice House as her time is near. I will always remember our travelling adventures..
I’d love a kitchen aide mixer, new dining room set and Coach purse. Yep, big dreams. *lol*
I am not so sure that I even know what a blog is, but I sure know a bargain and a great and famous business man and his wife, who own the greatest, unusual jewelry site on the entire Internet.
I rec. an advertisement in the mail the other day, and they were selling jewelry similar to Harrys,. but I looked at it and promptly threw it in the trash, no one and I mean that intensely, has jewelry as neat and beautiful as Harry Mason and even if I do not win the shopping spree, I will always go to him for the rest of my life if I want to purchase beautiful, gorgeous jewelry and be so proud of all the compliments I get when wearing it!
I love Harry Mason’s. Planning a trip to San Francisco from Canada in January just to go shopping.
Maybe Santa could help me find the perfect house or condo. A handsome and kind boyfriend would be great also. You never know it could happen!
I’m hoping for more time to sew in the new year.
Nobody can give me what I want, for that reason I want nothing! Life stinks!
I’d love to win a $100 shopping spree to Harry Mason Jewelry. A friend of mine has been ordering for sometime and had shown me her pretties. I’m planning to order some ear spirals for myself and my two daughters. There spirals are for Christmas. Sssh! Don’t tell. Thanks for entering me into your sweepstakes. I enjoyed reading your blog.
I want Santa to find a full time job for my husband . . . the economy downturn has left us struggling with part time jobs.
On a trip to San Francisco this spring (timeshare and plane tickets from the kids!) my husband and I were totally impressed by the sales people at Harry Mason. We had such a great time we came back 3 days in a row! Yes! Purchases each day and I’m enjoying them everyday since coming home . . . I did leave my heart in San Francisco at Harry Mason on Pier 39.
I’m hoping to get our business to the next level of success! How else can I go about buying one of everything/every pair of anything made by Harry Mason? I stumbled upon the HM shop on the Pier at SF..and it was love at first sight! Hopefully Santa will be nice to me this year and bring me some spirals that will make my ears go – “Ooooouuuu LALA”….I don’t ask for much – just anything from Harry Mason!
I love my ear spirals, I only have one pair. I wear them more than anything else.
I want…. a studio lighting kit, a smaller ass, and Harry Mason earrings.. lol
I LOVE Harry’s ear spirals! I have some 40+ pairs, myself.
What do I want for Christmas? World Peace, of course. Or, in the absence of that, then I’d love someone to help me clean and organize my messy office and crafting space. Or, for something simply tangible, a nice riser unit for my computer so the screen is up at the proper ergonomic level for me. And, of course, more of Harry’s earrings.
