Why must one pack 10 pairs of earrings when on holidays...

The sun, the wind (meltemi, the wind of the Greek Cyclades), the sea and the damned humidity can leave your hair in quite a mess... And who wants to go the a hairdresser when in Mykonos?
I've seen no woman with a salon hairdo. This is the kingdom of hair-pins, ponytails and chignons, specially untidy ones. We are on holidays, and there are no photographers around... at last!
So, to look a bit more elegant and glamorous... long live the earrings!!!
They pull up any cotton dress, light up your face and conceal the worst of hairdos. 
They must be long, colorful, shinny and, more then anything, FAKE!! As Coco Chanel used to say: "It's time the real thing imitates the fake..."
Attention: use them only at night, never during the day. I learned that from my friend Myriam, who has lots of experience in Mediterranean vacations, which are not the same as those in Punta del Este, where there's always a Roberto Giordano's salon around the corner, opened till very very late...
