Ooooh... shiny!
Siiiigh.
A pot of silver glitter leftover from Halloween burst in my makeup bag. It's all over EVERYTHING. Powder, shadow, eyelash curler. It reached the deepest corner of the Bag of Shadows, wherein lies the unfortunate fuchsia "Dessert by Jessica Simpson" lipstick, the purchase of which weighs heavy on my soul.
I didn't know the severity of the Bay of Glitter Invasion until I started putting on products this morning. And anyone who has ever had a run-in with glitter knows the pain involved in removal. It's like Easter grass. I'll be finding it for years. So, although it's Saturday afternoon and I look hobo-fabulous, if you catch my face in the right light, I am Dee Snider.
Instead of pointing and laughing, help me out with a glitter playlist.

No, it's not. It's just sad.

I'm with you on this one, Bassnote. Enough people slag Christmas already. Have a heart, people.

I shut it off before it was half way over. My son heard it and declared it was hateful and awful. I have to agree. He's 13, by the way. Merry CHRISTmas to all!
