/sigh I've heard it all now. So these odd stretched ear lobes are called gauges now. I suspect that is not what the Maasai people of East Africa called them back through the centuries. I thought the leftists didn't approve of cultural appropriation.
I think the hardware to make your earlobe stretch are the gauges but I could be wrong.
Either way, the guy is way too old to be experimenting with his “look” now.
