Ears deserve some pretty Valentines too! It’s *GIVEAWAY* time!

by Creative Junkie on February 11, 2010

If you read my blog, you know how strongly I feel about Harry Mason and his earrings. And if you don’t? Well, shame on you. Now go sit in a corner and write at least one hundred times I WILL READ THIS BLOG EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE UNTIL I DIE. AND IF THERE IS A HEAVEN, LET IT HAVE FREE WI-FI.

Know where Harry’s been for the past several weeks?

Hawaii.

Jealous much? I am. Because I am currently staring at a frozen white tundra of hell outside my window. And just because I’m staring at it through the prism of 376 enormous icicles doesn’t make it any prettier.

These are the new Spinfinity Spirals from Harry. Are they not gorgeous? I would call him up to give him a high-five over the phone but he’s not taking calls. You can’t take calls when you’re busy snorkeling in the Pacific.

I, on the other hand, am at liberty to take all the calls I want since I am not snorkeling. That’s one of the benefits of being surrounded by a frozen white tundra of hell.

Aren’t these lovely? They make me want to actually get dressed so I can look pretty while not snorkeling in a frozen white tundra of hell.

Harry’s probably sitting on the Black Sands Beach in Maui.

Harry and me, we’re polar opposites!

Get it? Polar? As in arctic? As in *brrrrrrr*?

I slay me!

Get it? Slay? As in “sleigh?”

Nevermind.

Aloha Harry! By the way … THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL!

Sorry I’m shouting. Just want to make sure you heard me over the roar of the ocean and tinkling of ice cubes.

Guess what? I went to Hawaii in the eighties. I think I was fifteen? Sixteen, maybe? My father used all of his frequent flier miles to fly our family first class to Hawaii to visit my sister. We flew on a 747 which is basically a cruise ship with wings. I ate steak on real china and sipped champagne from real crystal and made out with Kevin, the hot male flight attendant who had no idea he was contributing to the delinquency of a minor at the time. This would be the same Kevin who refused to contribute to the delinquency of another minor, specifically my twin brother Tino, who had also requested champagne and who was promptly denied the same by Kevin because (1) my twin brother was obviously underage; (2) Kevin was a few fries short of a Happy Meal; and (3) Kevin was busy nuzzling my neck.

I found this pretty funny but Tino did not and as he sat on his own overstuffed couch, he glared at me. I think he wanted to squeal on me and tell my parents that their jailbait young daughter was being groped and plied with alcohol, albeit willingly, but my parents were sitting in the row in back of us which was about two miles away and the seatbelt light was on.

We stopped off in Vegas where I was allowed into the same casino that barred Tino because he was underage so while I played the slots for a bit, Tino glared at me from the sidewalk, stomped off  and shortly thereafter got propositioned by a prostitute which mollified him a bit.

By the way, you can send all nasty emails about my parents’ lack of supervision on this trip directly to my mother. She needs something good to read. Her library sucks.

Some of Harry’s classic Ear Spirals. Pure yumminess.

Hey Harry, did you go to Mount Kilauea? Isn’t it surreal? It erupted in 1983, almost exactly one year after I stood right on top of it, and it’s still erupting today.

I now repeat the affirmation I AM NOT A JINX, I AM NOT BAD LUCK each and every time I look in the mirror. I’m not sure the good people of Hawaii believe me though. It’s hard to remain positive, considering I’ve been put on the No-Fly list for any destination susceptible to natural disasters.

I don’t get out much.

And yes, as a matter of fact, I do happen to live on the east coast even though you can’t see a lot of our pretty states because old man winter threw up all over us.

I AM NOT A JINX, I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

Some of Harry’s Ear Fancys. Don’t you just love that name? It’s so completely appropriate, don’t you think?

We island hopped during our trip and while on Maui, we woke up at 3:00 a.m., and drove to Mt. Haleakala to see the sunrise because that is what tourists do when they visit Maui. It turned out to be a rare, gray, overcast morning and even though I’m quite sure the sun rose at some point somewhere in Maui that day, we never actually saw it.

I AM NOT A JINX. I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

We did, however, see the Silversword plant, a rare species of plant found only on Mt. Haleakala and which blooms only once in its lifetime before it dies. None were in bloom while we were there.

I AM NOT A JINX. I AM NOT BAD LUCK.

Now that I am the ripe old age of 43, I’m sure I would appreciate the simple beauty of the unbloomed Silversword plant. But to a fifteen/sixteen year old, it was totally not worth waking up at 3:00 a.m., to stare at what amounted to a silver chia pet on top of a freaking cold mountain.

Some of Harry’s ear threads. These are so cool. I think they’d look fantastic with shorty short punkified hair. Which means I might have to get myself a pair soon, much to my family’s dismay.

Oh, and while on Maui, we drove the road to Hana. For those of you unfamiliar with this feat, the road to Hana is a misnomer in that it’s not so much a road as it is a fifty mile stretch of WHAT IN THE HELL ARE WE DOING HERE? HOLY SHIT, WHERE’S THE ROAD? WHERE’D IT GO? OH MY GOD, A CAR’S COMING. BACK UP, BACK UP, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BACK UP! WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE. PLEASE STOP THROWING UP ON ME. The entire route is the shape of a giant herniated intestine, teetering on the edge of approximately 732 Holy Mother of God cliffs.

The road to Hana is an exercise in “it’s not the destination, it’s the journey” and if you can stand to open your eyes, the views are stunning and breathtaking. Provided you have any breath left for the taking, what with all the hyperventilating and myocardial infarctions going on. And at the end, you can even buy yourself a “I Survived the Road to Hana” t-shirt!

Please just remember one thing … you have to drive back.

People always forget that.

Total eye candy. Ear candy? Oh, what the hell. It’s a multiple eargasm. We’re all adults here, right? Let’s just call it like we see it, shall we?

I’ll leave you with a couple more memories of my Hawaii trip. My sister took my brother and me to see Stevie Wonder in an outdoor concert on Oahu. It was my first concert ever and even though Paul McCartney didn’t show up to sing Ebony and Ivory like we had hoped, it was still awesome.

Not quite as awesome as seeing my sister’s two roommates the next day as they came bursting out of their bedroom right after having sex, he shirtless and she pantless, as we all stood there speechless and, in the case of my parents, clueless.

So … what’s up for grabs?

.

One person will win a $100 shopping spree to Harry Mason Designer Jewelry, at his online shop or at any of his stores! If you love Valentine’s Day, buy yourself something nice to celebrate. If you’d rather gouge your eyes out with a spork than celebrate anything related to Valentine’s Day, go ahead! Then scream SCREW YOU, CUPID and buy yourself something nice to distract your attention from your bleeding eyeballs. It’s all good!

Oh, and don’t forget to use Harry’s wishlist feature. Comes in very handy if you were born with a short term memory that is measured in nano seconds.

***WE INTERRUPT THIS POST FOR A SPECIAL BULLETIN ***

If you do not win on Monday, all is not lost. Harry is offering a $25 shopping spree with any $100 purchase to all entrants. Simply email Harry at harry mason @ harry mason . com (delete the spaces, please!) and include a copy/paste of the comment you entered in this post. Make sure to put “BIGO” in the subject line so he knows you’re not spam. Isn’t Valentine’s Day hard enough without being mistaken for a stinky gelatinous pile of mystery meat?


The scoop:

  • To enter, leave a comment in this post and tell me one place you’d like to go for a vacation. Are you a snow bunny? A sun worshipper? A spelunker? Would you like to trek through the Amazon? If so, what the hell is the matter with you? ARE YOU AWARE THERE ARE GINORMOUS BUGS THERE? As for me? I’d like to go on a cruise. I don’t care where it sails to since I don’t intend to ever leave the buffet.
  • Anyone 18 or older can enter. Wouldn’t you like to be 18 again? I mean, just in body only? Not in mind. God forbid. If you think I was stupid at 15/16, you should have seen me at 18.
  • The shopping spree expires thirty days from winner notification.
  • Winner must confirm notification within 48 hours or I’ll have to choose an alternate. Please don’t let that happen! It makes me ill. I’ve already thrown up several times this week thanks to the stomach bug. At this rate, I’ll reach my goal weight in approximately 47 minutes but it won’t matter because I’ll be dead. Skinny but dead nonetheless.
  • 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, February 14, because HELLO? That is VALENTINE’S NIGHT! And if everything goes according to plan, I will be sacked out on the couch in my jammies watching the Olympics and unable to speak because my mouth will be broken from the sheer amount of chocolate covered caramels I fully intend to stuff into it.
  • I will use Random.org to choose the winner. Random.org treats everyone equally. In fact, I bet my nine year old wouldn’t mind it being her mother because then she’d be able to watch a PG-13 movie too, just like her older sister.
  • One entry per person, please! Your comment might go into moderation for a bit but it will show up! Multiple entries from one person make me want to hurl and if this week is any indication, I can hurl stuff the likes of which you have never seen.
  • I’ll announce the winner on Monday!

That’s it!

Maika’i Pomaika’i! I think that’s Good Luck in Hawaiian, but for all I know, I might have just called you a crooked kumquat. I’m sorry. I don’t know what I’m doing.

I’ll leave you with some sage advice Harry emailed me:

If it weren’t for the outfit, I’d be a bit suspicious that Larry the Cable Guy is hiding somewhere in Harry’s family tree.

LMAO at your *very accurate* description of the Road to Hana!!! Speaking of Maui…that’s is where I would love to be right now because I, too, live in a state that becomes the “white tundra of hell” for 5 months of the year, a.k.a. Wisconsin. And Cupid can suck it as far as I’m concerned, too, so let’s just say some earrings would really warm this girl’s heart right about now!!

You are all going to hate me, but I’m so over summer down here that I think I’d like to go to Alaska and wallow in some snow please. I’d have to wear the earrings just to draw attention away from my snow suit which I’m sure would make me look like the Michelin Man, but who cares at least I’d be cool.

Vacation? Hmm.

I love the snow. And we’ve been, um, blessed with lots this winter in Pennsylvania. And when we flew out to Arizona for vacation we were blessed with snow there! Yes, snow in Arizona!

So, as much as I’ve enjoyed the snow, I would like to try something refreshingly warm. Something with crystal blue waters. Something with cute drinks with umbrellas in them served to me on a hammock strung between two palm trees while I listen to the gentle crashing waves. While, of course, I’m wearing a pair of Harry’s earrings.

Nancy S. February 12, 2010 at 8:52 am

I would love to go anywhere where I don’t have to clean anything or cook anything. Someplace where the biggest decision of the day is what time to get up and what time to eat. Someplace warm, but not too hot. Someplace where I get to wear Harry Mason’s scrumptious earrings.

26
Sky February 12, 2010 at 9:08 am

I don’t care where, just send me some place warm. With a beach. I want there to be a pool next to the beach so that I don’t have to get sand in the itcy places. And I want a fruity drink, or ten. I want to wear a swimsuit, but be inebriated enough not to care about the celulite and pasty skin and stretchmarks. I want young men in white uniforms to refresh my fruity drink. I want a swim up bar and I want to be sunburned. I want my husband to be bored out of his ever-loving mind because we don’t do anything but sit next to the pool, next to the beach, nursing just the right amount of sloppy grin buzz. This is the fantasy I have every day.

I bought two pairs of Harry’s earings the last time you featured them, and I LOVE them. I think I need some that are slightly longer than those I bought, and maybe a bit bolder. Or maybe some ear threads, those are very cool. I hope I win this shopping spree, I love his stuff so much!

I would love to win because I love shopping and love the jewelry. Take my mom on a cruise to Alaska, go to Ireland because we are Irish and the third would be Australia to visit my best friend who I have not seen in years and miss dearly. Hope to win. ;-)

Anywhere without my children…even if it’s the Marriott down the street (notice I didn’t say Motel 6 – I still have some standards). We have a snowday today in Texas so I could really use the Marriott right about now!

ooooooooooooooooo look at all those pretties. I’d love some new earrings since the once i normally wear have disappeared thanks to my 4 year old, and daddy doesnt see the need for them to be replaced. BTW, did i mention he is wearing 3 of my gold earrings? hmph.

So for vacation? i’d have to say Florida. Havent been in 13 years. In fact i havent been on a vacation in 13 years. Living in the frozen north is having me dreaming of some sunshine.

Let’s see… I would love to visit Machu Picchu someday. Especially after watching a tv show about it. But I fear the road leading to that mountain is quite similar to the Road to Hana and I’ve never been brave enough to drive that road.

Thanks!

Sarah February 12, 2010 at 1:51 pm

I’d love to go somewhere warm and sunny. With sand and water. And preferably with waiters what would bring me fruity drinks laced with too much rum and a paper umbrella!

I can dream right?

Donna Sherrill February 12, 2010 at 1:52 pm

I’d love to go on a vacation to somewhere warm right now. I’m so sick of snow! Virgin Islands would be excellent right now. Or maybe a cruise? That would be nice too. I would love to just sit on the beach right now.

Wow, where would I like to go?! Anywhere but here, so very sick of the Snow! Seriously, I’d love to go on a cruise, finally get to see Hawaii or just mellow out back in Jamaica, so great there! I have a real obsession for these earrings, so different and beautiful and I thank you for this wonderful giveaway!

Pia February 12, 2010 at 1:55 pm

Thanks for the opportunity to win such beautiful jewelry.

My DREAM vacation would be 2 weeks visiting Scotland. I’d love to visit the castles, the cities and the countryside too. My dream vacation in the states would be……….gosh, hard to say on that one, there are SOOO many places I’ve yet to visit. I think I need to make a list. LOL

Kathy February 12, 2010 at 1:57 pm

I’m a beach gal. No frozen tundra for me. I like sun and surf. I would love to go to Australia though. I’ve heard they have great beaches. I’ve also heard they have great white sharks. That’s okay. I’ll just sit under my beach umbrella and read my chick lit.

Barbara June February 12, 2010 at 2:01 pm

I am an art history buff so I would love to spend a vacation in Paris. Hopefully with enough time to see the Louvre in its entirety… which would probably take three or so weeks of everyday museum walking.

Lynn February 12, 2010 at 2:02 pm

Oh wow! those are stunning! I love earrings–and these are just amazing.

I would love to visit Hawaii–I love the lush plants and waterfalls I see in photos !

Thank you so much for the opportunity!

I would love a vacation to NY, it is where my mom grew up, (Brooklyn) and I have never been, but there are so many things my mother (and her siblings) have spoken about with such love, that I would enjoy to see in person.

I love to cruise, so a cruise to anywhere would be a vacation in Heaven! No worry about eating, no unpacking and best of all, no cleaning!

The earrings are beautiful!

What a funny, witty writer you are! If I could go anywhere, it would be to Cayucos, California. This is my “Happy Place” where i imagine all my family together after I am done with chemo and rid of the cancer. It will be a symbolic place of love, new beginnings and health!

I like any lakeside area. But at this point I would take a vacation in my bedroom if it meant no deadlines and no one knocking on my door. Just a few days of peace and quiet would be Heaven!

janeh February 12, 2010 at 3:47 pm

I’d like to go somewhere warm and dry and stay in luxurious surroundings………how about the Arizona Biltmore? After this long midwest winter, which is never going to end, that sounds like heaven to me!

Annette February 12, 2010 at 3:59 pm

LD February 12, 2010 at 5:46 pm

My idea of a wonderful vacation is a cruise across the Atlantic. I’d fly to Europe, spend a couple of days exploring an interesting city in Europe, then enjoy a week of total relaxation at sea.

Insanitykim February 12, 2010 at 5:47 pm

I am starting to think that reading your blog is like taking drugs, and at least in this case I TOTALLY love it!

So I don’t wear earrings because anything I stick in the holes causes them to swell and emit fluid…oh wow…umm…

And yeah, you didn’t enter mine. But, it was measly little soaps…maybe you don’t bathe but, I won’t hold that against you…

Wait what am I supposed to say?

Oh. Um, I want to go back home, to the beach in Homer, Alaska. Because there are NO bugs, the beaches aren’t polluted, it’s about 60 degrees in the summer so all the wimpy tourists aren’t laying all over the barnacle-laden rocky beach and me and my fam can enjoy smelling like the sea and taking in the sites for a week, all. alone.

If I win this I’m buying earrings for you. Make sure you tell the RNG that when you press the enter key…

I would love to go back to Hawaii and bask in the warmth and sun (not that anyone really wants to see me in swimwear). I was there 15 years ago and loved it.

97
Kelly February 12, 2010 at 5:53 pm

I love Harry’s earrings. I own several pairs of his earrings & have given several as gifts. I would say I would love to go anywhere the sunshines. Most likely Maui or the Caribbean. I really need a vacation I haven’t had one in about 8 years.

98
Walter J. Podrazik February 12, 2010 at 5:54 pm

In a heartbeat I would go back to Alaska, probably head up to Fairbanks. I was there in October a few years ago and loved the crisp cold and gorgeous glaciers, stunning mountains, and neighborhood moose.

I live in the most beautiful state in all of the U.S. But it seems that we are the “orphan” state to the “continental U.S.” The only place I’d rather be than here in Hawaii is in San Francisco!! I love the food, the people, the weather, the wharf, the Ghiradelli chocolate and especially the Harry Mason earrings!!! I own 3 pairs of spirals, one pair of threaders and four ear cuffs!! I’d love to own more so why not enter a contest giveaway??
