Forgot to do this for an evening event at a Con, and even though I had everything laid out ahead of time, it was only after I packed to go home that I realized I spaced out the evening gloves!

I don’t know if tying on earbobs was done historically. I do know that drag queens have worn those gargantuan crystal earrings by looping them on with narrow elastic bands. Spares the drag on pierced lobes, and it is hidden by their wigs.

Oooh, that’s a mybad, quite belatedly. It’s Glove.org

I remember this too!

Don’t know about earlier periods, but in the 1920’s when very very large earrings were in vogue for a while, some women used ribbon or other clever little ways of distributing the weight of earrings on hooks or posts, because otherwise they might have harmed the earlobes when worn for many hours at a time. I don’t think they were the first to do so, especially when looking at the size of some of those pricier earrings and imagining how much they must weigh…
