Laura Henshaw's Oaks Day fail as earrings turn skin blue - Daily Mail

Posted: 08 Nov 2017 12:00 AM PST

Australian model Laura Henshaw's Oaks Day celebrations have been marred by an unfortunate fashion blip.

The 24-year-old rocked up to Flemington racecourse in a truly head-turning ensemble. 

But while posing for cameras, a large navy mark could be seen on the side of her face after her $290 Christie Nicolaides brass earrings rubbed onto her skin.

Seen tilting her head to the distance in images from the event, Laura revealed a large blue stain where the earring made contact with her face.

According to the designer's website, the intricately detailed piece is a 'handcrafted, hammered brass earring inlaid with agate and acrylic stones and pearls.'

The specific material referenced on her website is listed as 'polished gold-tone brass.'

According to Refinery 29:  'That stain is usually a result of a metal in the jewelry reacting with your skin  - or something your skin, such as hand lotion.'

'Copper [contained in Brass] is often to blame. When the acids on your sweaty skin cause copper jewelry to corrode, the process creates copper salts.'

'These blue-green compounds can leave a mark on your skin in that iconic shade we call "Statue of Liberty Teal"' the publication concluded.

While this kind of reaction is also possible via more expensive metals such as sterling silver or gold, it's uncommon for 'skin-grade' brass to have such an effect.

Charged With a Crime? Better Check Your Facebook Pictures - Reality Base : Reality Base - Discover Magazine

Posted: 22 Jul 2008 12:00 AM PDT

Earlier this year, the realms of law and new media collided when Lori Drew was hit with federal charges for creating a fake MySpace page and harassing a neighboring teenager, who then committed suicide. In another case of courtrooms v. technology, prosecutors are reportedly searching Facebook and MySpace for photos of defendants to use as character evidence in sentencing hearings.

CNN reports that party photos and pictures of defendants drinking or looking unrepentant have resulted in harsher sentences for people charged in drunk driving accidents, with prosecutors presenting the incriminating pictures as evidence that the defendant lacked remorse.

In one instance, a prosecutor showed the court a Powerpoint presentation of party photos that had been posted on Facebook by a 20-year-old defendant after he nearly killed another driver in a three-car collision. The pictures depicted him at a Halloween party dressed as a prisoner in an orange jumpsuit labeled "Jail Bird." The judge slammed him with a two-year jail sentence.

A girl charged in a fatal drunken driving crash also had photos from her MySpace page downloaded by prosecutors, who used them in their pre-sentencing report. The pictures, posted after the crash, showed her holding a beer bottle and wearing a "a belt bearing plastic shot glasses." Her sentence was more than five years.

Given that there's no reason prosecutors can't or won't mine these sites for character evidence, technology is in essence handing these defendants a noose to hang themselves with. Still, there's the danger that a photo taken out of context can be disproportionately damning. In the 20-year-old's case, he was remorseful enough to drop out of college and write apologies to the victim and her family. But the image of him sticking his tongue out at a party is far more likely to color a judge's (or anyone's) perception—a phenomenon that's been proven by more than anecdotes.
