girl%20with%20yoyo%20ear-rings delicately balanced and precision made, these yoyos dangle from each ear and at the slightest movement of the head they are sent spinning downwards or bungeed back up; the white gold and diamond bearings twinkling through the transparent casing as they do so.

with a little practice you could learn to ‘walk the dog’ by using just a fraction more movement of your head, the yoyos will travel up the silver thread, over your ears and back down again to the amazement of all your friends.

‘rocking the baby’ is more complicated and may take some weeks to accomplish but will definitely keep a toddler amused and may actually mesmorise them to sleep so its definitely worth pursuing.

the ‘forward pass’ involves the yoyo/yoyos extending forwards some feet and may not be appreciated at dinner parties but as a self-defence move it is incomparable.

please remember though that these are not toys but sensitive items of jewellery and the manufacturers cannot be responsible for breakage if treated roughly or inappropriately.

yoyo ear-rings [FarmerJohn, Dec 15 2004, last modified Dec 16 2004]

Yo-yo ear-rings http://www.snpp.com/episodes/8F16.html
Done, like everything else in life, in the Simpsons. The Twirl King troupe had Sparkle, with a yo-yo in each ear. There's a mention about 1/4 way through. Please forgive my geekiness. [suctionpad, Dec 15 2004]

       funny, I was thinking Bet Lynch.
po, Dec 13 2004

       not ear-rings, suctionpad!
po, Dec 15 2004
  

       Thanks [FJ], but I can see the illustration neither in-line nor via the link. Had similar problems with one of [bris]'s recently too.

       how can 6 people hate this so much?
or me!
  

       I need a sabbatical perhaps.
po, Dec 16 2004
  

       We love you [po]! Anyway, given your last posting I can't see a sabbatical lasting more than 24 hours.
wagster, Dec 16 2004
  

       uhm . . . 7. And it's not hate! Hate is such a strong word.

       Wow, are those huge canary diamonds on either side of the "string"?
Machiavelli, Dec 17 2004
  

       what are canary diamonds?
po, Dec 17 2004
  

       [po], canary diamonds are yellow diamonds. They're absolutely gorgeous.
Machiavelli, Dec 17 2004
  

       do you know someone who might buy me one for xmas?
po, Dec 17 2004
  

       Two words: sugar daddy. And ask for more than one!

Dub, Aug 24 2006
  

       Can't believe I haven't seen this one before. Also uncanny the way the illustration is *exactly* what [po] looks like in real life.
