Thread: sparkles, glitter, everywhere

Tweet

so seriously. What is up with all of the glittered Halloween stuff? I don't remember seeing so many sparkly things for Halloween before. I can understand cutesy stuff I guess, but I'm just going to blame all the glitter and sparkles on twilight's sparkly vampires. I actually enjoyed the books, decent story line, plot, etc. The sparkles just get to me.

I don't mind the sparkles so much. They're a fad and they'll go eventually. But in the meantime, at least people are decorating!

For the "alternative lifestyle" haunter, maybe?

Sorry...Ive been traveling around the country quite a bit lately and well....the glitter just tends to fall off at times. However Im only responsible for the purple glitter, the green, black and silver that is NOT ME!

I don't know... I thought the glitter started becoming more prevalent before the vampires took over. I think of it as more glam/goth than vampire and I think Martha Stewart had a bit to do with it too.

Ohhhh you make me laugh, woman.......

I think the glitter is a bit much (12 on a 1-10 cutsy scale) but as was stated, at least it's getting some new people into the haunting business... lol. Sadly it's a trend the rest of us will have to live thru for the greater good of Halloween.
But funny thing. I was standing in a Target the other day and I turned to the wife and sighed... everythings all glitter. At that moment a total stranger walked right up to us and said something like: "YEah, it really sucks doesn't it?
I almost fell over laughing that an offhand comment created such strong emotions in someone that they had to vent to a total stranger... lol. I dont like the glitter but realize it'll pass, and it's basically a matter of personal taste anyway. BUT some people REALLY hate the stuff like it was Halloween crytonite or something...lol. Cait

I can tell you right now its NOT ME!!! I dont crap glitter hahahahahahah

Personally, I love the black glitter skulls and such. I can take a small amount of the silver, as long as it doesn't look like a disco ball, but I am NOT a fan of the hot pink and lime green skeletons and pumpkins at Target this year! Love the black though...

And I think Martha Stewart is more to blame than Stephanie Meyer. She's been pushing this stuff for the last several years.

I STILL blame 'Twilight'...

D@!&%*! 'Sparkly Vampires".....
