Throwback Thursday: Sharing Earrings With Madonna Again

January 21, 2016 by WendyB

I was so excited to see this 1980s photo of Madonna. Not only is she wearing her famous Maripolitan rubber bangles, but she’s wearing matching rubber earrings.

SCROLL TO THE THIRD PHOTO.

Here’s a 1986 photo of me wearing the same earrings. Woot!

I’m sure I got those earrings because I saw them on Madonna, but, because I lost them, I’d forgotten the connection. (I also lost my 80 Maripolitan bangles in a move, but I think it was at a different time.)

At least I held onto the heart earrings that Madonna wore in her “Borderline” video.

I’ve shared photos of them before.

I still wear those to Madonna concerts.

But, man, do I wish I had that rubber jewelry! I swear, my favorite materials for jewelry are 18K gold, platinum and black rubber.

The “Borderline” video had such great fashion. I still covet everything Madonna wears in it, including the hat. If you’re not familiar with the video, check it out now.
