Make Me Laugh Monday – Glitter Spray for Crafts Finds a Higher Calling
It is no secret I am a huge fan of glitter.
No secret.
I love her. Almost as much as my firstborn son.
Almost. *feels shame*
So. Saturday night I got to get outtathehouse. I went to a costume partay.

I actually don’t know what I dressed up as… an over-aged homecoming queen? Glitter herself? In the pic above you see ME, Lisa and Lisa. A.K.A. Shizzle, Shizzle and True THAT!
One thing I do know is I was wearin’ some shoes that just about ended my career as a person who uses her feet for existing:
I know. Worth. It.
Aye… but the glitter. My friend Lisa made a spray glitter run for us.
Read: SHE bought the glitter.
Read: No glitter in the usual body glitter section.
Read: She found glitter spray in the craft aisle.
THE CRAFT AISLE.
This is us high on craft glitter spray fumes:
Minutes before we headed out for our evening of sparkly fun… we stepped outside to glitter-up.
Me as I spray glitter on Lisa: “Turn, turn, turn…. Oooooh! This is NICE glitter spray. I really like this kind. Wow! WOW!!! This is so sparkly!”
Lisa: “Do you think it smells funny?”
Me: “Whu? *pauses spraying* *begins spraying* NAAAAAAUWWWW!”
Lisa: interrupting her spin… “Are you SURE?”
Me: “Uh. Well. It does smell different. And I’ve never used this brand before…”
I look at can.
The directions said something like, “Good for use on METAL… PLASTIC… WOOD…”
*blinking*
She looked at me. I looked at her. We looked at we.
Snort fest. The whole, “StopstopstopI’mgonnapeeeeee” *snortsnortsnort* “conversation”…
I looked at Lisa. The level of her sparkle was impressive. She had gold glitter. Aphrodite demands gold. I said, “Guuuuurl. That be HAWT!”
I asked, “Does your skin feel funny?”
She: “Nnnnnnnooooooo.”
She: “You should do it.”
We reached for the can of my silver CRAFT glitter spray. And I spun beneath Lisa’s skilled spraying wave of poison silver glitter glory.
I don’t know what will happen because of our wild night of basking in the loveliness of crafting spray glitter. I do know this…
CRAFTING SPRAY GLITTER IS BY-FAR THE SUPERIOR BODY GLITTER. HANDS CANS DOWN.
My world has officially been rocked.
I find I am at a crossroads. Do I use spray intended for bodies, or do I use Awesome? You tell me. I cannot see clearly… *ahem* prolly because I still have poison in my eyes and lungs.
P.S. I have a little post up at Mom on the Spot. Finally, for all you locals… a little somethin’ about a local corn maze! And there is still one day left before I close up my $100 Visa gift card giveway (thanks to Febreze NOTICEables) and a week left for the $100 Visa gift card giveaway from Wonderbread! Hop on over for your chance to win!

That sounds pretty! I love glitter on all of my fashions because it makes everything fancier. I think being fancy is more important than being safe.
Girl! I found some awesome body (yes, intended for the body) glitter spray! You should have seen me and my girl yesterday! We were glitter-tastic! There is still glitter hanging in the air in our living room. Alas, it was unavoidable due to the rain during our preparations yesterday…
As I sprayed myself down, I thought of you, my Glitter Goddess!
A very successful “Make ME Laugh Monday!”
Never dabbled in the glitter myself. So tell us, did it come off easily??? I’m guessing that you are still sparkling.
It did come off. I scrubbed. But the evening found me passed out from the noxious fumes and wine consumption, so my pillow is all glittery. Guess I better change it, but is kind of nice to wake up all sparkly. It was SOME Glitta Spray though.. shellac if you will.
I think there have only been a few cases of people dying from too much glitter. There was that sexy chick on Goldfinger (murdered, if you will), and one of the actors playing the Tin Woodman in a Broadway version of Wizard of Oz. In both cases, their WHOLE bodies were covered and they suffocated. I think if you keep the soles of your feet glitter free, you should be safe.
First, Happy happy Birthday to you! The next year is so much more sparkly than the 36th. I believe if you look up Hallmark, the 37th year of birth is “sparkly”.. I find myself gravitating towards everything sparkly in my later years (I will be 47 on Halloween). There is a new book character out called “Fancy Nancy” for children… I had to buy the readers so I could read to my son (yes, my son) who can’t verbalize b/c he has autism and must endure me reading “fancy nancy” stories to him at night b/c it makes mommy happy… Poor kid… pathetic mom… I love everything that shines and sparkles… only one thing higher than glitter.. that would be diamonds! lol Have a great day! I’d sing to you but I think I’ve tortured enough for one day ….
It didn’t matter what you dressed up to be. The 3 of you looked fantastic in the first shot; the glow and radiance on the faces.
Looks like fun to me. And we all look better with a little sparkle:)
Sounds like this is just the item for you:
