ah, I was just amusing myself! Yes, they are for stretched earlobes. Since they're not conventional earrings, I try not to call them that. My lobes are stretched to 6 gauge; conventional earrings are about 18 to 20 gauge. The picture shows various sizes--my pair will be the smallest one pictured, since 6 ga isn't all that large (to us).

Note: Never called stretched ears "gauges." Although lots of people do, it's considered a newbie mistake. I could get into a whole diatribe about word usage and elitism, which you might even enjoy, but . . . I won't.

and I always liked Little Men and its sequels better.
