I did some reading online about how skulls became popular in the first place. Allow me to report on findings.
You know, smiley faces were the famous symbols ten years ago. This was perhaps due to a trippy '70s vibe in fashion, not to mention Joe Boxer's popularity. Most of the common message tops of the mid-late 1990s had to do with love. Ten to eleven years later, skulls risen in popularity and hate is the commonplace category of casual fashion. I've read online at one site talking about how skulls in fashion were popularized by rock culture. So my deal regarding "Pirates of the Carribbean" is void here. Reading about how rock star influence has popularized skulls into mainstream goes to show what's wrong with America. Selling out to the trashy style of rock music. I NEVER aspire to look like a rock star, let alone be one. I dont' play Guitar Hero. Notice I never use "rock" to mean wearing something (for example, "rocking the Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses"). I never found a skull design I've loved. Much the same way of jeans tucked into boots. I just don't fall into the rock culture as easily as most people who instantly take the bait. I mostly like hip-hop (as hated as it is to people), but I'm not even involved in the culture. I'm not involved in ANY music culture with fashion. And in case you ask, I loathe "Party Like a Rock Star" by the Shop Boys severely.
I know you have a hate post lined up for me completely disagreeing about skulls being unstylish and/or cool. So even more so, I aspire for anything to overtake skulls as the "it" symbol for fashion. I'd love the star designs. I just express that it can be tough to come along with great fashion pieces adorned in stars. As long as the star designs aren't tacky, I see this working very well. In fact, some of my girl friends wear earrings adorned with tiny stars coming down. One of my friends has some star earrings that are green. A VERY cool faculty member for my community college wore some nice blue star earrings this past Wednesday for a karaoke competition at my school. I'm talking about tiny star earrings like these:

I tell you, I love these star earrings women wear. I think this is the best style of five-pointed stars that can be worn anywhere. Earrings like these are the perfect way to show you have sparkling beauty by wearing these lovely earrings. Anything to drive away those who sell out to wearing stuff with skulls or sell out to looking like a rock star or being in certain rock culture is fine with me. Let's work to get skull designs and clothing out of the mainstream and out of our closets. Only those deep into the rock or Goth culture should be wearing skulls. I'd love for stars to stay. Under the right designs and designers, stars can be very stylish for both casual and some formal outfits as well. Who needs skulls when you can sparkle in fashion with stars? If I find any other star jewelry closer to the style of star earrings I've seen at times, I'll be sure to come back to post in this thread.
