Quick! Run to the newsstand and buy the December issue of Cosmopolitan magazine — the one with Miley Cyrus<\/a> looking fabulous on the cover.<\/p>\n

\nMy emoji earrings are mentioned under “Emoji Mania” on the “What We’re Into This Month” page.<\/p>\n

And here’s something interesting: Of the two earrings shown, only the okay sign is based on a real emoji.<\/p>\n

The other earring that Cosmo shows is my “shaka” or “hang loose” emoji-inspired<\/em> earring.<\/p>\n

I’ve been doing lots of earring designs that I feel should be emojis (including the middle finger <\/a>and Vulcan salute<\/a>) and I’m psyched that the Cosmo peeps thought the shaka fit in so well. Makes me feel like I’m doing a good job! To celebrate, I’ll reveal another new emoji-inspired earring: the crossed fingers.<\/p>\n

In some countries, people say they will “hold thumbs<\/a>” for luck, but in the U.S., it’s “cross your fingers.” We also cross our fingers<\/a> when telling a lie. So you can wear this earring to improve your luck or get away with a fib. I won’t judge. After all, some little lies are better than the truth, right, Jim Carrey?<\/p>\n
