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!

I would really love to get a car starter for my car — I hate getting into a cold car in the winter!!!
I love, love, love these. I have never heard of Harry, but he sure is talented!!!!!!! I real just wnat to spend lots of time with friends and family this year. I don’t need anything, but I wouldn’t turn down a pair of these earrings.
I hope to have the energy to put up decorations and cook for the family.
I’d like common courtesy to come back into fashion. (And some more Harry Mason earrings would be fun, too!)
I would love to have my daughter accepted into medical school and my son promoted at his job. A nice bottle of wine and some great earrrings would complete my wish list for Christmas.
I hope to get a new husband for Christmas. If not, ear spirals would be sweet.
I’d like a ring from my sweetie.
First of all – Great work on describing Harry’s! Couldn’t have said it in a better way!
What I want for the Holidays – Continued Happiness and spunkiness with increased sexiness – nothing a new pair of Harry’s can’t help with!
I hope to have some time to read a good book (or two).
When my children and grandchildren come over for Christmas, I would LOVE to show them my new Harry Mason earrings!!!
Those earrings are just gorgeous!! I have never seen his work before. I just added a few things to my Christmas Wish list.
I would love Santa to bring me a new camera and bag for Christmas. Realistically, I
be happy with a new pair of boots and to find a hot NYE outfit that will make all the
friends I havent seen since last NYE say “Wow! Have you lost weight?” LOL
This Christmas I would love to get a WII!!! These earrings are so cool, I’ve never seen any earrings like these before. I’ll definitely be checking them out!!
I am hoping for Santa to either bring me to my handsome, talented, sexy, future husband here in California or fly me back to him either at his home in North Carolina or someplace tropical so we can relax and enjoy each other’s company. Of course I’d love a pair of Harry Mason earring too, that would just be icing on the cake. I love his designs and truly think he’s a genius for creating the backless earring where you never have to worry about losing the backs .
Please enter me in the drawing.
Thank You.
First saw Harry Mason earspirals on a friend at Scottish Country dancing. Just had to ask her where she got them and when she told me about niobium earrings from Harry Mason, I went online and got a pair for my daughter and another for my sister. They both can’t wear jewelry they say because they are allergic to metal. So far my daughter loves her niobium earspirals and I’m giving the ones for my sister to her this Christmas. If I win the shopping spree, I will buy Harry Mason earhook earrings for a friend who has a split ear lobe so needs the kind to cover up this problem.
I live in New Zealand, and for Christmas I hope to have a great visit with my daughters in the States (wearing Harry Mason earrings of course).
I am just hoping for a nice, happy Christmas with lots of fun and enjoyment.
What I want for the holidays is one quiet day with no papers to grade…who am I kidding!? I’m a high school teacher with 2 classes of AP Gov and a 5 year old at home (who is wonderful and loud)
I just hope to sleep in one day! And, in the spirit of Miss America, world peace and and end to hunger…
Those earings look so elegant! For Christmas I would love to get a trip to South Africa to dive in a SHARK CAGE! The adrenaline rush I would get from having a Great White Shark stare at me with his beady eyes……and it would be a bonus If I came home with all my fingers cause I couldn’t help myself but to try and touch its tail!
This summer I was practically known at Harry’s Pier 39 Shop. I was in there so much, Olga & David knew who I was. If I didn’t make it in there for over a month, I’d come back to the “Where have you been?” questions. Ofcourse, then I ran out of money (aka Found out Hubby and I are pregnant). So I officially have 6 months left, before the earspirals only get to come out for special occasions (although, the lifetime replacement Harry offers will probably keep me wearing them with a little monster running around). I NEED more ear fancys. Yes, NEED. Not would like, not want, but NEED! By the way, I’ll tell the Pier 39 Staff you said Hi, since I will most likely be down there in a week or two. It’s been way too long for me!
I guess the one thing I would like for Christmas is a Full-time job. I recently graduated from a great University and still have yet to land a full-time position in my field. I know there are millions of others in my same situation and trust me all of you are in my prayers. Just have to hang in there I guess. Happy Holidays to everyone.
oh and I also would love some Harry Mason earrings =) I live on the east coast and get millions of compliments on the pair I bought in San Fran two years ago. They are my favorite earrings.
I want a job for Christmas! Once that is taken care of, I can get everything else I need.
All I want for Christmas is that diamond ear cuff you show and a boyfriend to admire it!

I want lots of marketing books and a gift card to Micheals.
Thank you for giving me a moment to reflect on what’s important to me. All I want for the holiday season is for our wonderful 23 year-old son to be able to continue his dream of becoming a firefighter…he is so close only to have hit a “bump in the journey” with Stage 3 melanoma which he is fighting at the moment. Happiness to all! And thank you Harry and Kathryn for providing that “sparkle” to our lives!
I just love these eargasm creations – - They are very unique and beautiful!!!
Would love to win the $100 to share with my daughter
I want a spa day…I want to be pampered from head to toe!
I hope to get a passing grade in my Educational Psychology class from the world’s craziest professor.
MY FIRST BLOG HAVE MERCY ON ME. LOSE WEIGHT HAVE FUN KEEP FIT AND WIN HARRY MASON EARRINGS
I LOVE Harry’s ear cuffs. I have a few. I bought one out of my price range for my son’s wedding over Labor Day weekend. It was a hit because it was slightly windy in Santa Barbara, so my ear cuffs glistened, as did my eyes, in joy! I also have some of Harry’s wild earrings too, but as of late, my poor little ears swell up and cry when I insert the earrings, so I’m HOPING for my ears to be able to wear all of the wonderful earrings I will buy when I win! Otherwise, I see more ear cuffs in my future. Thanks.
where do I enter the contest for earrings….I want another pair of spirals!!!
What great jewelry! How about a pair of HM earrings – that’s what I’ll add since I haven’t even thought of a list yet. I do hope to beat my recurrent infection and get healthy so I can begin working again! Crazy aren’t I?
I’d love an iTunes gift card! And these!!
jelewery would be nice
Wearing my Harry’s gives me a lift every day. I hope to be back in school to get my masters in psych to help children of abuse.
i love the ear spirals; would love some ear threads and fancies. anything Harry Mason ROCKS!!!!!
I love, love, love the instructions on how to remove all ear spirals. I love, love the looks of jealousy I get when I wear my ear spirals. And, I love to tell people how they can own a pair of ear spirals for “them own selves.” (I am a transplant to Mississippi and that’s really how they talk. Sometimes when I hear deep southern idoms, I think to myself that they may have been native born in Mississippi, but you can overcome it.)

I’ve been lusting after a new digital piano. I think the employees at the local Target are starting to wonder about me. Must be the sighing and key-stroking… ;P
Beautiful Earrings. What do I want for Christmas – A clean house and no fighting !! HONESTLY !!!
I hope to get some decent scissors for cutting my hair! I cut my own hair, and I’m going on 4 years with the same pair from the dollar store!
I hoping for christmas that I pass all my classes! So close to graduating college I can taste it!
As for Harry Masons, my girlfriend came back from cali one trip and showed me this brochure of her “new favorite jewelry place”. As a joke she said “you should get me something from here for christmas!” so I did, she didnt expect me to take her seriously (or even pay attention haha) but she LOVES them and wears them whenever we go on a date. I’ll be adding another ear spiral to her list this year
I would like to give my hairdresser a pair of Harry Mason earrings for her wonderful work and friendship over the last 20 years. She always admires mine whenever I wear them. I also would like to give a pair for our Silent Auction.
Happy Holidays to everybody!
I’m honestly hoping for cash. I love cash. Never have enough cash. And I would buy earrings with the cash or something gold and shiny!!
NICE!
I just want every one of my family, kids, gran and great grans to be home of Christmas this year. Short of getting snowed in I should get this. Oh, and to win this giveaway so I can beautify my ears, too. Thanks for the chance to WIN!
Just visited Harry Mason last week and bought my 10th pair of Hookers. My husband travels frequently to San Francisco and loves to visit Olga & Roxie with the greeting “this is the best place in town for hookers!” Would love another hooker for Christmas!
I’d really like to have a maid service!
Oooh, I’d love to get a netbook for Christmas! ( Or maybe jewelry…hmmm…maybe ear rings! LOL!)
My daughter and grandaughter both have spirals and we all love them-I would really like a WII for Christmas–
I’d like to wish for something noble like world peace, but let’s be honest. I want a really big winning Mega Millions ticket!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Harry Mason and all things Harry Mason! Have been a huge ear spiral fan for a number of years now, not quite as old as your mom, but damn near so I say hooray for her!!
I want a digital camera.
I love these earrings. I hope to get good news this Christmas. No gift necessary.
Love your blog! This Christmas I hope to get some fun….the last few Christmases haven’t been very much fun.
Susan
I want to be with my family for Christmas, we dont see each other much and it would mean the world to me!
For Christmas I would like to just get SOMETHING! I am so tired of having to buy my own presents from the dear husband. However, if I could buy myself some of those earrings I don’t think I would mind so much!
dreamcleavers@yahoo.com
what i hope to get this year is satisfaction that i can get the kids what they want-money is tight this year
You hope to get busy? Why … I hope to get the whole day off. I need rest, a complete rest. Whoooo hoooo!!! A dash of eargasm will be nice!
Oh my, I would so love a pair of Harry’s earrings for Christmas!!
Hi,
I have demanded apair of ear threads this time! Being in England/Ireland these earrings are not common and since I found them at an air show once Ive become addicted! Just got a lovely pair or california convertables last week and five nice danglies and another pair of spirals too, but i told my husband [please please please buy me ear threads! I NEED them!!!
LOL
Greetings to all his fans out there from me in Ireland
Fiona
Great blog!
For xmas me and my family and friends have agreed to give ‘good deeds’ to one another! It can be anything, from a random stranger hug, walking an SPCA dog, or volunteering at a local charity. So for xmas, I hope I get to hear many good deeds.
thanks, Meg.
What I truly wish for is to find love – not from family and friends (whom I am blessed with) but a partner in life. If not that, then I want what every girl wants: flannel pj’s, chocolate, and jewelry. I get myself a pair of Harry Mason earrings every year for my birthday in January so if I win the drawing, I can buy even more.
My Threaders and Ear Cuffs are my trademark. A plain chicks way to stand out in the world
Thank You Harry Mason.
KaRon
Ahhhh, the holidays! All I want for Christmas is the chance to relax with good friends and family, enjoy some great wine and food, and be able to look back on January 2, 2010 and say that everything was perfect! And the Harry Mason shopping spree would help make that dream work!
I’m wishing for some scrapbooking supplies!
Love Harry’s earrings. Purchased a pair 20 plus years ago in Flagstaff, AZ. Still loved them-so looked on the back to try to figure out if I could find on-line. HM on the back and typed in ear spirals and I was back in business- now ordered some convertibles and love those also. Glad I found them again!
I just hope to be able to spend Christmas with the one person I love.
I want a nice big jewelry box to put all my nice big jewelry in. But I really want my husband to get a better job–that doesn’t require us to move! It would be a miracle.
I am just hoping that the ____(whatever they saw on my mamogram last week) turns out to be non cancerous and doesnt need to be removed or anything invasive done.(no health insurance.) Girls GET your mamograms!!! This was found during my yearly mamogram and its the first time they ever said it wasn’t perfectly normal.
I just love Harry Mason Jewelry. I plan on getting my annual present which I pick out from my MIL. This year it will be the new spirals with the dangling hearts.
I love the ear cuffs!
Would love an eargasm!! Have several pairs of spirals – a couple of them are old enough and worn enough that the twists don’t look much like they did when Harry designed them ( they’re easy to get in but become a little more difficult to remove esp after some exta liquid libation!!
love Harry!
What do I want for Christmas? I have been so busy this year I really dont know. But my family always knows that when indout Harry Mason will always make me smile. Hope you enjoy picking the winner. And I love the blog.
I am hoping my kids get everything they need.
I wish for a safe travel to visit family (and maybe a nice bottle of my favorite perfume…)
I’ve asked for a 1tb external hard drive. and some new kitchen knives. I like romantic gifts. haha. I’ve LOVE to win me a pair of those AWESOME earrings!!!
That would be a very nice Christmas gift.
I have found some of the most unique pieces of jewelry from Harry Mason. Not the same ole boring stuff you find everywhere else. Plus it’s a decent price, and there is so much to choose from!! If you have a idea in mind, you can even tell him about it and he will attempt to make it happen. I love horses. Guess what? I got a horse from him. So So worth it. I love all the jewelry and wish I could buy everything he has!! Happy Holidays!
Happy holidays, I posted a comment. Hoping to win, but not to worried about it, seldom do I win anything
My computer is acting up and went to a blank page when I clicked on submit. Is that why I have ” your comment is awaiting moderation?” Guess I’m not sure what that means. Hope this message goes thru. I guess I would like a new computer.. to go along with the jewelry I’d get if I actually won.
Health and happiness.
I love all my ear spirals and ear pins and threads. I always get compliments on Harry’s earrings. For Christmas I would like my credit card debt GONE! That probably won’t happen so I’ll settle for new shoes and cake pans
After 37 1/2 years of trying to get my Bachelors Degree I am graduating December 18, 2009 so the only other thing I want for christmas is a set of Ear Fancies.
After seeing those ear cuffs, I definitely want one of those! I am also asking for some riding boots this year…classic piece for my winter wardrobe. Happy Holidays!
I would love to get a nice new jacket for Christmas…I am currently wearing hubby’s old one and I really need a jacket fit for a woman!
Well it’s obvious I haven’t been reading your blog thoroughly enough. I had no idea who Harry Mason is but I love his earrings. They are so gorgeous. I really, really want to win this.
ok…how would i start to comment on this one…
I would love to get the miraculous news that my hubby is completely cancer free and will stay that way til our kids are both married and having their own kids. Thanks for the contest!
Since the family isn’t exchanging presents due to current economic state, an end to the recession would be a good gift.
I would really love this—–Necklace with inlaid Blue Lab Grown Opal spiral Pendant. 1-1/4″ long. Sterling Silver.
I want an IPod terribly but cant see spending that much money on myself.
I hope to get some Harry Mason Designer Jewelry for Christmas
Is this where we enter for the cool/awesome Harry Mason earring shopping spree? I love his earrings. Have been buying his beautiful earrings for years, and I want more. Just got a pair of the ear threads today with some small dangle beeds and want to get more dangles. They are Too Way Cool and Beautiful!!!!!!!!
That a tough question to answer CJ. I havent really thout about what I wanted; been so focused on getting my niece some cool toys and my mom all the movies with Michael Douglas(when he was young), haha. I truly wish to find true love and be happy but that is so generic I know. Yet the older I get, the less I crave material things. Dont get me wrong, I love clothes, shoes and jewelry. Accidentally bumping into Harry Mason( the store) at Pier 39 was overwhelming but fantastic. Had it not been for the helpful assistant, I would have had a panic attack. (It’s ok, I have pills for that) Earrings are my weakness, you see. So I guess If I had to pick a gift, it would be the complete seasons of the X-files(yes I’m a nerd), a$100 HM shopping spree and Season 5 of The Office, love that show! Happy Holidays CJ and I hope you get busy! (I’m hoping that’s the name of a dog)
Wow – thanks for this introduction to Harry Mason’s eargasms! I wish I could win the lottery so that I could decorate everything in my house with his earrings – and I think my cats deserve some decorations, too.
I hope to get some sleep this holiday
I hope to get a laptap pc.
I am building up the courage I need to tell a certain guy I like him. I want him to tell me he likes me too.
I don’t know how the fateful day will play out, but I do know I’ll be wearing my favorite earspirals, the ones I got at the San Francisco shop a couple months ago..
I want… a Harry Mason Shop in the town I live in or rather a trip to SF.
I’d love to get some new HM earrings. Our house was ransancked last year, and they tool almost all of my earrings!! Nasty people. I also wish people would become more peaceful and things like tha don’t happen anymore.
