2. Yes. He wears them all the time. I think he is sending a message that men can wear pearls, too.

I guess so. Why not?

9. Crude, but also subtle and FUNNY.

I love this Tim Miller. He's a bright and savvy commentator. Since he's gay and open about it, I think the "pearl necklace" thing could be an 'in your face' subtle play on the vulgar meaning of a pearl necklace.

A "pearl necklace" is slang for a sexual act in which a man ejaculates semen on or near the neck or chest of another person.


Just a guess.

All I could think of was how my mother wore her pearl necklace way back in the 1950s and 1960s. As a kid I thought of it as what I would wear when I was a grown woman, just like mother. I thought it was beautiful, so by extension Tim is beautiful to me.

5 web sites say pearls,... two web sites say shells.

Pearls seem to be the conclusion.

Second entry below has Tim Miller's quote as he addresses the wearing of the pearls.

■○■○■○

Tried Duck Duck Go,.
"helenoppenheim.com

Sign of the times.  Former RNC Spokeman, Tim Miller, wore a simple strand of pearls when the MSNBC Contributor was being interviewed yesterday./ I think we can now safely say a man wearing pearls is mainstream!   After all, he is, or was, a Republican, even if a “never Trumper.”  Some trendies who have worn pearls over the last year are – from top to bottom – Romero Jennings, Director Makeup Artistry for Mac Cosmetics, backstage at the Frederick Anderson S/S 2022 New York Fashion Week Show … Kenneth Delio Loo,, Entrepreneur and guest, at the Tombogo  S/S NYFW Show  ….  Model wearing his own pearls backstage before the Tanner Fletcher F/W 2022 NYFW Presentation, hair by Mike Martinez for Cutler/Redken"

Here Miller acknowledges his pearl necklace but fails to give personal reasons why he chooses to wear pearls and not maybe shells ?

(snip)
Tim Miller has not addressed the pearl necklace inquiries.
Tim was fully aware of the fascination surrounding his pearl necklace and even got in on the conversation on Twitter. “The pearls are taking daytime cable news by storm,” Tim tweeted, in response to a fan who said he was “living” for the reporter’s fashion choice.

Tim has not explicitly revealed the reason why he wears the jewel but that has not stopped fans from coming up with theories of their own. One Twitter user suggested the piece is a “chakra necklace,” while others believe that Tim simply likes to “accessorize.

12. Not the biggest most important issue of the century.

But I have long thought that this neck accessory was shells, after watching him numerous times on the Bulwark, other blogs, and media appearances.

The above comment # 1 sparked my curiocity,... shells or pearls?

4. drumpf's health...

I don't care about drumpf's health. I do care and worry about the unqualified, dangerous, incompetent people he is placing on his cabinet and in other, government appointee positions. After drumpf loses his tiny mind, after his body fails or after he passes on the sheer weight of these people will drag America into a shitstorm of vast proportions.

And all of this is aside from the fact that his "vice" president is jd vance, a much younger, smarmy smarter, crueler, more confident, yet ignorant fool who believes his "unfortunate" childhood and subsequent success makes him eligible to judge, rule and decide our futures.

And this ignores the elite oligarchs who own all of this.
