Safety Pins are the Madonna of Fashion
Get it? Because they both keep getting reinvented? Alright, maybe that is a stretch but safety pins have been through more face lifts than most items in fashion history (maybe not more than Madonna, but I’m sure it’s close).
What started as a simple fastening device became a standard accessory in 80’s punk fashion, an inspiration for couture fashion designers like Versace, and now safety pins can be found in ornate hair accessories, jewelry, and as graphic designs on clothing.
Have you or would you wear any of these safety-pin inspired designs?

I have never been one to rock safety pins but some of this stuff is pretty cute… I might become a safety pin convert! Let me know if you have any unique safety pin looks of your own!

Wow, I remember when safety pins (some with cute ducks or other animals) were what held a baby’s diaper to its body. Terrific fashion photos.

They can fill in for nipple rings in a pinch.

The best artist of all time for sure! After millions of records sold they are still killing all the new younger aged people in sales. Simply amazing.
