I was very taken with some of the performers strutting around in body glitter (male and female). That was huge in the '70's. What a big mistake that it went out of fashion! So I'm saying to you, let's bring it back in!
This summer, if you are out to a party, festival or club, slap on some glitter! What could be more festive? What's more uplifting?
We are constantly telling the kids about the magic properties of fairy dust, so lets heed our own advice and make our world a little more glitzy...
Who's with me? (Just be thankful I didn't decide we should all dress as South American Indians - cos it was 50/50 on that count, I was equally taken with the fluffy leg things. Just my whole big ass and lack of ripped mid-drift put me off).
Otherwise, if you see a sparkly old lady roaming the streets, come over and say hi!
Linking up with some Grace for FYBF & Maxabella loves
I'm a little reluctant to link the clip, as I prefer the element of surprise, but for those who have never been, and had no intention of going, maybe this will lure you:
Sounds Cougar-licious. I'm onboard.
ReplyDeleteI now drive a Cougar...It was so close to being Indian Summer, but I think I'll get more takers on the Shimmer....let's dazzle and bring back the last days of Disco!
DeleteShimmer is just fab huh! Love the stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love Cirque du Soleil but A, not so much. We went to one up near Brisbane and I think that the next time one comes to town, I'm going, even if I have to go by myself !!!!
ReplyDeleteNot so sure about the glitter - mainly because it gets into EVERYTHING and drives me nuts when I can't get it out - LOL
Have the best day !
Me xox
Wow,yes, I always loved adding a bit of glitter to my face as a teen. When did I become so dull and stop doing that! Will definitely be checking out Totem.
ReplyDeleteHand down all the Cirq shows I have seen in my lifetime have been the absolute best performances ever! My fave's have to be O and Ka - as for glitter - the more the better, there really is no other way xx
ReplyDeleteI found this kids body spray with glitter the other day. I thought about getting it it for them for Christmas, but maybe I could get on board with the shimmer thing instead?
ReplyDeleteI have to say.... I'm a BIG fan of glitter. Body glitter, not STUPID craft glitter. I'm in too. Shimmer me up!
ReplyDeleteI remember glitter and shimmer - back in the late 70's! That, and KISS makeup, were our fave things to do when I was a teen/pre-teen! Thanks for the walk down memory lane ;-)
ReplyDeleteVisiting today from #teamIBOT xxx
Body Glitter was big when I was a preteen. In 1999 I covered my shoulders and parts of my face to celebrate the millennium. I even had 2000 on my cheeks stuck there with body glitter!
ReplyDeleteAs for Cirque I would love to go one day. It's definitely on my to do list.
We love Cirque too, so much talent in one place.
ReplyDeleteYay for glitter, but only on the body, never in the craft room!!
Lol! I am a huge fan of body glitter. I used to wear it all the time in the late 90s. We definitely need to bring it back. Good thinking Lydia!!
ReplyDeleteI have some fabulous Napoleon glitter eye dusts stashed away in my drawer, I need to make more effort to find occasions to wear them!
ReplyDeleteGoooo glitter!
ReplyDeleteLeanne @ Deep Fried Fruit
Gosh the thing I remember the most is that you find your glitter everywhere afterwards...months later even :)
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing more uplifting than glitter!
ReplyDeleteOh my yes! I love glitter, that Cirque du Soleil show looks INCREDIBLE....some of those moves, how are they even possible?
ReplyDeleteI love Cirque du Soleil.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn
As a mother of three girls... not such a fan of the glitter but give me some body shimmer any day of the week!
ReplyDeleteMrs P at Daisy Roo
Cirque du soleil always leaves me feeling like a child. I'm so with you on the glitter x
ReplyDeleteHa ha I love what you're saying but glitter is banned in our household. But maybe if it was in makeup then I could agree to it! x
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too much glitter... as long as it is not in the hands of kids. I am allergic to kids and glitter xx
ReplyDeleteLove it! I used to regularly buy a glitter soap from the body shop as a teenager. I'd use it when I went out on the town. It left your body are beautifully sparkly. They still sell it, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to #thankfulthursday
Right I'm gonna invest in some sparkle and bring it back as well ..... stay tuned there will be pictures xx
