Valeria: Does this remind you of anything?

Phew! That's gross (yes, it does remind me of something: the X-ray of someone choking with a round ball!) Mercy on whoever pays to own the item

To me, Hirst's is just outrageous... in a much better, even reasonably meaningful way (as much as excess holds any meaning). Heck, a skull is just a skull after all.


On the other hand, 'thought THESE feel sort of cute & 'pearly'. On whim: I'd wear this bit below... I think. Just for the pleasure of fielding related questions and seeing the inevitable discrete shrugs.
