I know I never make two posts in one day, but I just couldn’t wait one moment to share this with all of you! What you see in this photo is Fantasy FX , the most fabulous invention since glitterized sliced bread. Given to me this evening by NYC nightlife legend, Adorable Tim, this can allows for on-the-spot Disco Smoke anytime.. anywhere!
We prayed, the Disco Gods answered.. now all I need are those lazertits!
I expected to see a lot of interesting and creative things last weekend at the Maker Faire in Queens NY, but never in my wildest imagination did I expect this! The Sparkle Army spirit is alive and well and living on a high-bike owned by a guy named Justin. I originally saw him ride by in the the daylight and was excited to a see a completely mirror-tiled bicycle, but it wasn’t until the sun went down that I got the whole dazzling story. Luckily, I was armed with a video camera because words just cannot describe!
Justin’s Disco Bike features:
This is a man who truly knows what he likes and has created a SHOW-STOPPING PARTY ON WHEELS and all I can say is: RESPECT! What’s even more fabulous is that he’s not finished, as you can hear through my unofficial voiceover interview with Justin. He explains his next step is a projector that will shoot images downward onto the ground as he rides- pretty cool! Of course, I had to ask about a smoke machine, which it does not have… yet. I hope that’s next on the list- whaddya say Justin?

Join the Sparkle Army last Saturday in Berlin was spectacular! With nothing more than art supplies, a staple gun and gallons of glitter- Monster Ronson’s was transformed into an intergalactic spaceship filled with the most beautiful Spaced Out Sparkle Soldiers the universe has ever seen! Also, mandatory effects like multi-colored laser beams, overloaded disco balls and gobs of smoke were dazzlingly successful in their mission! (sorry about the tickets from the fire department Ronson.. we’re still cool, right?).
I truly had an amazing time doing my favorite things: dancing chatting partying, and now I MUST thank all the people who made my dreams come true:
Monster Ronson- the man, the myth, the legend. Without him, this party could not happen… at all. You are a true friend for many reasons, but especially for putting up with the moods and demands of an aging diva!
Rebi- genius of lighting and sound, master of the staple gun and hundreds of other things- your contribution to this party is BEYOND just a thank you!
Soldiers Daniel & Mika – for awesome Sparkle deco and being the Special Sparkle Effects Master!
Denise Redder– event photographer and Laser Portrait Specialist!
Kate Ehrhardt – for super Spaced Out Projections!
Sadie-the makeup lady for Sparkling the Soldiers up proper!
the Zentai Experience- for a Super Spaced Out Performance and being gorgeous freaks of nature!
DJ’s Andre, Spacelex and Emil Doesn’t Drive for amazing sets and making a Sparkle Queen dance all night!
Lendless- for sharing their very first live performance of shimmering disco jazz with the Sparkle Army!
Den Haan- for coming all the way from Glasgow Earth and rocking Ronson’s into an unspeakable orbit!
and to all of Monster Ronsons staff that work so hard to keep the cocktails and everything else about the party going!
and to Sparkle Soldiers everywhere… THANK YOU- THANK YOU- THANK YOU!

“Hello World!” Yes, this is the generic post title supplied when you first start a blog, and instead of deleting it, I thought it quite approriate for the maiden voyage of Join The Sparkle Army! Having my very own platform to cater to my whims, fancies and obsessions has been a goal for some time, but so many things kept getting in the way (parties, dancing, dancing and parties!). While it does take Da General a little longer sometimes- the results are always smashing- don’t you agree? I promise that this blog will be devoted to only the most DAZZLING and SPARKLE-WORTHY topics. Best of all, you will no longer have to be on myspace or facebook to get your Friday Sparkle Video OR information on any upcoming events (a.k.a parties we are having!). So my Soldiers, I devote this blog to all of you- for without you, the Sparkle Army could not exist- so SPARKLE PROUD and remember: MORE IS MORE!
