Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: New Gun Emoji Stud Earring

December 6, 2013 by WendyB

I came through on last month’s promise/threat — my newest emoji earring is the little gun. I don’t love real-life guns (except for sport), but I do love the emoji gun and how people use it on Twitter and in text. When I told my friend Jay that I couldn’t decide if I should do…
