Glitter Gal

Once upon a time, in art class during my 5th grade year, we were all asked to decorate a Santa that would be hung in the local McDonalds. We could color it in with crayons, markers, colored pencils and we could put glitter on it if we liked. Well that dumb looking Santa for McDonalds just wasn't good enough for glitter. Several of my friends and I decided that a much better, much more beautiful place for it would be our pretty little heads. So we scattered glitter all over our hair. And we were sent to the Princpal's Office for it.

That was one of the most mortifying experiences of my life (up to that point at least). We all sat in the Principal's waiting room, nervous about what she would say, bad-mouthing the crazy art teacher for sending us to the office for putting glitter in our hair. I mean, come on, glitter? Really? We didn't think it was that big of a deal, and neither did the Principal. She told us to be more careful and only use art products for art. And on our way out, the secretary whispered that she thought it looked cute.

And you know what? I'm pretty sure that just a few months after that, glitter hairspray was all the rage.

From that moment on, we girlies called ourselves "The Glitter Gals," and 13 years later, I'm still loving glitter, any way it comes.
