I would stick them on my belly button and convince myself it looked just like the real thing 🙃
This is going to be really controversial as I know some tattlers will have one and I’m sure it looks great on you, you are not me, but I’m so glad i didn’t get my belly pierced when it was trendy 😂 again sure it looks great on some but would not be a good looking hole/decoration on me now

Ha! I did eventually get 'the real thing' when I was 18 and can confirm it does not look great now after having gained and lost weight multiple times over the years 😂 I don't have it in now but the hole is still there but stretched out so more of a line than a hole 🙃, but still, #NoRagrets

So glad I never got any other piercings! I remember a girl I used to work with in the early 2000s who got her nipple(s) pierced on her lunch break. She'd stuffed toilet paper down her top to soak up the blood because they wouldn't stop bleeding. I was so shocked she'd done it so casually like it was nothing 😂

I wasn’t allowed to get a second set of ear piercings. To be fair, the first set got infected and it was quite unpleasant, so my mum didn’t want me to go through that a second time. I’m glad I never did it now, as I work in childcare so don’t wear earrings at work at all and barely ever wear any outside of work.
 
They would typically get infected if done with a gun, not a needle. You shouldn’t actually get them done at Claire’s, although it was mum approved because of its wholesome image. Generations of mums were unaware :)

No sure they still do it (does Claire still exist?) But I remember wYching people get it done in the window on Saturdays wandering round shopping centres with my friends , usually by teenagers who I doubt were really trained to do it 🤣

Yep they still do it and still in the window too. I always found that a bit weird still used to watch though.

I got my belly button pierced at 19 with my first pay cheque. Almost ripped the thing out doing the dance routine to Girls Aloud The promise. How noughties is that?! 🤣
Tbh I still think they look mega cute, but mine literally got in the way of EVERYTHING it was a mare!

I think the belly button piercing trend is back as my teenage daughter asked a few months ago and said girls at her School had been having theirs done

I had mine done during the low rise cargo pants Pure Shores era so it was fine in terms of there being nothing for it to catch on. Took it out after 6 months because it never really stopped being an open wound and I only did it to show my friend it wouldn't hurt (it didn’t) - although why I did this when she already had pierced ears and a pierced nose and I had neither I really don't understand. You can't really see the scar except for when my belly button popped out during late pregnancy and then it was GRIM.

Yes, I had my ears pierced with a gun in a jeweller’s in the shopping mall area around my nearest big supermarket in France. I was supposed to get them done in a department store/jewellers around Christmas time but I freaked out as it was too busy/noisy/crowded. I think I might have had a better experience if I had actually had it done there.
My cousin got her tongue pierced when we were about 15/16. She could only eat yoghurt for a few weeks until it healed/the swelling went down and I worried about it hitting her teeth and damaging them.

Don’t get why they did this when they already did Mean Girls 2 and it was awful
It’s because it’s an adaptation of the stage musical, although the trailer doesn’t make that clear at all (some of the background music is from the show although you wouldn’t know that unless you’ve seen it!) I guess that’s a trend now like how the “Wonka” trailer doesn’t show it is a musical


Quite a random one but I can’t believe these sundaes don’t exist any more at McDonald’s! I don’t really like the new McFlurrys :)
They still sell the sundaes in parts of Asia! China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand have them

Yet again I don't get why they're just remaking something, does no one have any new ideas?! I get its supposed.to be like the musical but even so 🙄

I guess it's like how there's two movie versions of Hairspray, Matilda, The Producers, Little Shop of Horrors etc. because the original movie got a musical that was later made into a movie. Although the marketing has been terrible ... they probably could've come up with a musical with similar themes. Or even a sequel with the original cast which I know was discussed at some point
