For some reason the most abundant and available figural pins are butterflies. Lame. I don't know why, but I have never liked butterfly pins AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!!!
I really wish I could like them, but they are just too damn girlie. I am girlie enough as it is, I don't need some delicate insect on my shoulder. When I say I'm girlie, I should clarify...I love dressing up, scream when I see centipedes, and get really excited if bunnies are hanging out in the backyard. That's how I'm girlie. I am fairly tall--and not delicate. The fact that centipedes scare me is laughable, and I usually lumber over the average sized lady (but I think that is pretty cool). I am also not that graceful and I have no ankles. Anyway, for some reason butterflies bug me (ha). So it might be that an actual butterfly represents grace and delicacy...and I'm jealous? It might also be that girls get butterfly tattoos ALL THE TIME--it's like saying you're a sweet badass.
Too sweet for me!Anyhoo--I do not buy them, but I have two in my collection (both gifts). I'm sure whomever inherits my pins will love them more than the others--because apparently I'm one of the few people who doesn't like butterfly pins. :|
