sparkles...glitter....pizzazz...

maybe it's bcs i grew up a bit of a tomboy. maybe it's bcs i'm the mom of 6 boys. maybe it's bcs i am jealous. i don't know, but i cannot seem to understand the latest fashion love affair with glitter. i see sparkles EVERYWHERE. little girls have them in their hair, on their backpacks, hairbands, shoes, shirts.... adult women have them on painted in letters on their derriere on sweatpants (and since when did THAT become a fad?!?) , and in their makeup.... teenagers have them on their lips and bras that peek out of too-low v-neck t-shirts. i just don't quite get it?!?! is it a princess thing??

i'm not kidding. this morning as i was riding my bike w/taylor to kindergarten, i saw a little girl dropped off . she had the prettiest light blue backpack, but it was shining so brightly of glitter, i nearly careened into a truck as i was blinded on my bike. don't get me wrong, moms can do what they want in the name of fashion. just be aware that at SOME point, fashion borders on hazard.
