This theory is based on more than celebrities wearing pearls. It stems from the Hymn to Inana as Ninegala, my study of Mesopotamian symbolism, and the repeated use of ancient religious imagery in Hollywood. I believe the pearl necklace may function as symbolic messaging in some contexts rather than being purely a fashion trend. If you disagree, I’d rather discuss the historical sources and symbolism than trade insults

    Please bring some more info to the post. What about the Hymn to Inana as Ninegala? What’s the synopsis of that which supports your theory?

    Definitely doesn’t seem like something they would willingly wear at least

  3. Okay so even if it was a historical indication of prostitution what makes you think that this is the case here? Like any evidence besides just a feeling would be nice.

    Everyone hates this theory immediately lol. Whys that like status quo these days?

    Anyways OP you have 0 evidence beyond the comments immediately hating you (and the look in the honnywoods eyes), so I believe you.

    In the Sumerian hymn A Hymn to Inana as Ninegala (Inana D), there is a passage describing the goddess Inana taking on the persona of a prostitute. It reads in translation:
    “The pearls of a prostitute are placed around your neck, and you are likely to snatch a man from the tavern.”

    That doesn’t really lead me to any conclusions about Hollywood, 3,800 years later.

    The Bible doesn’t have much on it in relation to prostitutes:

    Revelation 17:4 — The “Great Prostitute” (Babylon) is adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls, symbolising wealth, luxury, and corruption.
    Revelation 18:11–16 — Merchants mourn the fall of Babylon because no one buys their luxury goods, including pearls.

    It’s more likely, as it has been through history, a sign of wealth and luxury.

  6. The last one isn’t pearls those are diamonds. But whenever I see men wearing pearls I think they like having jizz shot across their face and neck.

    Scrolling through the images you posted, it becomes readily apparent these beads are simply another form of the slaves collar.

    Pretty much all major celebrities get used and abused. You are not going to reach a global fame without selling yourself and doing heinous acts on tape

    Wearing pearls doesn’t automatically mean you sell your body for sex. It means that you took a necklace created by robbing oysters of their pearls and put it around your neck. In general, pearls mean ‘I have money’ and are absolutely a status symbol.

    You mentioned the symbolism, and that’s been a status of wealth and status since around 2300 BC. In Rome, Julius Ceaser went so far as to make a law making it illegal to wear pearls unless you held status. It wasn’t until Columbus landed in the Americas that they saw all the natives wearing them that they realized they were common to begin with. But, then fishing went wild, and the oysters dried up making them rare again. Then a guy found a way to create them artificially, and things split a bit.

    Before the modern world, only men wore pearls. The Chinese wore them for status, and the polynesians wore them as a protection amulet. King Henry VII wore pearks. Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh famously wore pearl necklaces and earrings. You can find a ton of Indian paintings depicting the Maharajas men wearing pearls.

    It wasn’t until modern stars, like Marilyn Monroe, started pushing them that suddenly it was a mark of feminism. So really, they are a primarily a mens accessory that was temporarily turned into a female accessory for less than a century. The hoodwink is that guys shouldn’t be wearing pearls, not the other way around.

  10. Did you know when a man wears short sleeves it’s a sign of femininity? It dates back to the Persian empire, and it’s totally a valid theory of mine that I just made up right now

    Heavens forbid a Man wants to explore fashion beyond a suit and a tie 🙄

  12. ‘Pearl necklace’ is also the term for when one comes on the neck of his partner.

    Also, jewelry was used(still is I guess) to signal rank and function of mk-ultra sex slaves, not all of them are used for just sex, drugs for example were either signaled red(ruby) or green(emerald), can’t remeber it well. When Marylin Monroe sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Kennedy she was servicing him in Mk-Ultra lens.
