Hey guys,
I know this is a weird question, but I've exhausted every search engine I know of...wonder if anyone else has this question. I always have worn a silver hoop in each ear and I usually wear a soul patch..most people compare my look to Howie Mandel, although I hardly resemble him. I was wondering if anyone has any idea where I could get hoops like he wears. If you search google images on him you can clearly see the hoops he wears have some kind of detail to them that is very rock-starish. They look like little indentations or dimples in the earring on all sides. I've been searching for the past few weeks in every store/mall I can find and have run out of ideas. Any guys with piercings know of a place that sells unique earrings for men???
Thanks in advance guys!!

Hey Jason,
Point me to a good picture and I'll see what I can find. If you go to Beverly Hills I'll bet they can fix you right up. :*))

This one shows them from multiple angles. They don't hang very low off the ear, but they're flat, thick and detailed.
I'll see if I can find more pics.

Interesting. Howie has always presented himself as a BBC guy, but that photo reveals a fairly substantial bald spot on the crown.

Naw...Howie is balding...but he looks great bald..like it was made for him!
The makeup on his show hid the fact...

Sorry for the hijack Jason, but yeah Razor X, that's why he was smart to go sly before he went bald. Most people will never know whether he's MPB or BBC.

But, why would anyone deny MPB, it's not a disease or defect :/O :/O :/O? Shouldn't they just be up front w/ it considering that more than 50% of guys will have some degree of MPB by age 50? Just doesn't make sense! Honesty should come first, IMO. Considering the amount of makeup he's got to be using to conceal the shadow when he's performing, wouldn't it just be better to be up front about this, whatever the extent of MPB he has?
Also sorry Jason.

True. I just wonder why he won't acknowledge that he's got MPB. The explanation that he's always given was that he shaved for a film role and like the look. Why not just admit that he was going bald? Funny how some guys are in denial about things like that.
Jason -- sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. I'll bow out now. ;)

Nice hijack guys! Hahaha.
By the way, the reason he's always given that he shaved is that his OCD and the fact that he's an intense germaphobe led him to shave his head as he disliked his mop and the germs it carried..and his disease has progressively gotten worse. I think that may have something to do with it, but I'm sure it was just as much, if not more, the fact that he was clearly balding.
Alright guys, any ideas on the earrings?? Hahaha!
-
Jason, have you tried Chain Gang Jewelry? I have just ordered a pair of stainless from them that might be what you're lookin for.

Hey Jason,
I was looking for some of the same earring that Howie wears as well since I was going to dress up as him for halloween with a couple gals that I know dressing like the models from the show.
Anyway, the only thing I can tell you about the earrings is that they are called huggie hoop earrings. There are a few websites out there that sell em but I have yet to run across any that look exactly like the ones that he wears. Google it or try a search on eBay for them. Hope that helps.

I looked through the entire site and couldn't really find anything. Do you have a link?
I'd appreciate it!

I bought a pair of huggie earrings, but those are called huggie because they "hug" the ear, they are meant to be very close to the ear..and I don't think that's what Howie wears. Also, if you zoom in on the pic I attached that shows the back of his ear you can see where the loop is open ended at the back..the huggie type earrings are a closed loop with a hinge at the bottom...I believe his are completely one pieced with a clasp at the top.
-
Well, I bought the closest thing I've been able to find. I found a pair of earrings at Zale's that were squared off and have a difinitive edge to them much like Howie's and very unlike all the rounded earrings you see at the malls. They have almost the same diamater and thickness, and have a detail to them that is more of a diamond cut instead of the round cuts he has. It's close enough!
If I ever run across anything else I'll post it just in case anyone else is wondering. I emailed Howie in every forum I know of, maybe he'll email me back some day. I doubt it!
-
Let's see a pic when you have time.

Hey Jason, you should email the people at http://www.seenon.com to see if they can help you find them.
-
I didn't know about that site, it seems more geared toward women, but it can't hurt!!
Thanks man.
I emailed them a moment ago, we'll see what happens.
I'll post a pic when I have time later..hopefully tonight.

Well, I've been watching this for a while now and had hope that someone had come up with a place to buy a hoop earring like Howe's too, or close to it. I wear two rings in my left ear, the wife 'installed' one of them, the only time she has ever pierced an ear. I change them around, and have a small hoop, but would really like one like one similar to the one he wears.
-
This is still driving me nuts..the ones I bought from Zales are definitely not it. I think I'm going to try and find his fan mail information and go that route, but I doubt I'll get a response.
-
Here's another close up shot of them, if anyone ever sees anything.
-
I know these aren't it exactly, but similar.

Thanks for the link, those are probably some of the closest I've seen. I think they're a little thick and also have some kind of blackened finish but those are pretty close. I appreciate it..I'll browse around that site.
-
Sorry to resurrect a very old thread...but I've been looking on and off for these earrings for quite some time.
In case anyone is interested, I think I finally found them. They are EXPENSIVE, however.
Here's the link in case anyone would like to purchase them.

I believe those are it.
What do you guys think?

They sure are! :o

welcome back Jason!

Thanks marty22!

If you look at the photo at http://ucpac.org/images/Image/HowieHead_0702_tp0001.JPG -- I think you'll see Howie's earrings are considerably different... if you click on the photo, you can see them in super-close detail.
-
ok, so these are getting closer;

but the stones are set a bit differently and there is no design on the sides of the hoops.
the setting style is called bezel mount, meaning the stones are set into the metal not on prongs like you see with most jewelry.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!
I have been looking for something super up-close forever!!!
I zoomed in and I can clearly see them. They are like little "screws" in the earring. Those are a classic sign of CARTIER earrings.
Unfortunately, CARTIER earrings are extremely expensive. If I can find them for under 2 grand, I'd buy them.
Thank you so much for the picture. I've been looking for years for something extremely up-close. Those have to be CARTIER.

Your welcome! And good luck -- I hope you find a pair!

Just joined the site and went sly for the first time 2days ago.
Have you found them? the ones you said you thought were them I don't see as being exactly like them. What about tweeting him. He seems to respond to most of his twitter friends. Probably the closest to him your gonna get.
-
2 days and counting.
I've followed this thread, as I'm sure the original poster has, and I didn't think about twitter. Now to find out how to do that, and. They are a nice set of ear-rings, I saw a lady on the beach I visit on vacation, who had a pair that was similar, but not exact. Says she had them a long time, and thought she bought them at Sears. I even looked at a few different Sears, and didn't find anything close to hers or his. So maybe a twitter is the way to do it. I watch Twitter, but not much of a twitter person.
Thanks for the thought, and good luck on staying with the shave routine. Lots of good help here, that helps you stay focused.
BTW, you like my cap? An every dayer, except Sundays. Indians or Cardinal caps on Sunday.

I have a few unnatural holes and have found The Chain Gang to be a good source for quality jewelry at good prices to fill my holes.
-
I tried Twitter and he didn't respond. I tried twice.
I was quoted around $4,000 to custom make these by two different jewelry designers.
Unbelievable. I guess I'll just give up.

Jason.. I have hoops like him. Those are called Huggies. You can buy em all day long on eBay. Or if you're lucky enough, possibly your local Walmart has em. Here's a pic of mine: (https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ftapatalk.imageshack.com%2Fv2%2F14%2F11%2F01%2F7a045293e8469c79ddffb16c234811ce.jpg&hash=545bb1c9ebc3f06b7c3ada5cd2ca3fa71f958316)
