Sparkle Ashtray Key Chains: APPROVED!

It never ceases to amaze me how adding glitter to an object I could care less about turns it into something I can’t live without.  Just look at these adorable portable Sparkle Ashtrays I picked up in Iowa (of all places!) which also happen to be Key Chains.  Fascinating isn’t it? Especially because I don’t smoke, however the idea of having this number handy for my friends that do smoke seems so fabulous.  Picture this- you’re at a party and someone is searching madly for an ashtray before they make a mess on the light-up dance floor and then KABLAM!  I whip out this baby, to the delight of my audience, and am at your service!  Yes Soldiers, good manners are very important and I think that adding this dazzling item to my repertoire of charm is priceless because it not only catches those unsightly ashes, but it sparkles, it carries keys and it’s APPROVED!

Kitty Glitter Slot Machine: APPROVED!

This amazing vision was spotted in Las Vegas by devoted Sparkle Soldier Aaron while he was on one of those drunken weekend trips he likes to go on every weekend.  Luckily for us, all those cocktails didn’t get in the way of his sharp dazzle-scope eyes and now we have proof that Vegas is still a worth while trip even though the Liberace Museum is closed.  Knowing that two of my favorite things, kitties and glitter, have been immortalized in this electronic deity has me planning for retirement early.  I can’t think of a better way to lose gobs and gobs of hard earned money than playing the Kitty Glitter Slot Machine because it purrs, it sparkles and it is APPROVED!

Disco Bathroom: APPROVED!

What’s the most amazing thing about the newest artisanal food shop in NYC, the Donut Plant? If your answer is that “even during a recession people are willing to pay $2.75 for one single donut”- that answer is WRONG.  The right answer is that inside this shop, which by the way, sits under the legendary Chelsea Hotel, is the most awesome Disco Bathroom ever seen! Completely mirrored tiled walls are adorned with delightful spinning disco balls and lit so sparklingly, it can only be described as KABLAM! Sadly, there’s no music pumping or smoke billowing when you flush the toilet, but I left them a note in the suggestion box. In the meantime, I’ve got my iPod and my “Disco Smoke In A Can” so I’ll be back to the Donut Plant because the donuts are delicious and the bathroom is APPROVED!

Disco Ball Shoes: APPROVED!

Can you imagine the power of wearing these shoes, reflecting disco-tastic light from your feet everywhere you go? Having people swarm you like a superstar, wanting only to be by your side because YOU ARE the PARTY?  That is some downright Superhero sh*t to me!  I came across this mystery photo on the internet and all I can say is that I will not rest until I find this pair of “Disco Ball” shoes and make them mine.. MINE… because they are fabulous and they are APPROVED!

Glitter Microphones: APPROVED!

I bought these Glitter Microphones in early October when they were displayed with the Halloween items but to me, they screamed “Fall Fashion Accessory!”.  Always one to trust my instincts, these glorious numbers have been making the scene with me everywhere.  I’ve found them appropriate for all occasions including, but not limited to: parties, happy hour, Skype dates and any time you feel like conducting cameraless interviews with total strangers.  Because of the “More is More” code of ethics we hold dear, I made sure to buy a few.  After all, you never know when you and your friends will break out in song and, although a beer bottle works just fine, how much more fabulous is it to whip out one of these? I can assure you- it’s pretty dam fabulous and after testing them for a whole month, Glitter Microphones are now declared a necessary part of any Sparkle Soldier’s wardrobe because they are APPROVED!

Warning: Carrying Glitter Microhphones as a fashion accessory may result in extra attention and bewildered looks from others which may eventually lead to extreme jealously and possible theft from those who didn’t think to buy their own.

Sparkle Skulls: APPROVED!

One of the best things about October is SKULL SHOPPING! With the abundance of holiday items made for Halloween, some cool stuff actually slips through and you can find yourself buying for all year round like these Sparkle Skulls– J’Adore!  What’s not to love about these colorful, glittering monsters who embody the secret that behind every fabulous Disco Queen is a slightly evil Punk Rock Girl?  I picked some up in various fun colors as well as silver and black at Lee’s Art Shop on 57th Street. You better get there soon because they are HOT and they are APPROVED!

Sparkle Shoe Botique: APPROVED!

I realize that Botique is spelled incorrectly, however, it’s the only thing I remember about the store where I spotted SPARKLE SHOES GALORE! There is no way to encounter this kind of RHINESTONE ONLSAUGHT and come away with your faculties in order!  I’m still a bit dizzy from the experience and don’t even remember what street it’s on so you’ll have to find this place yourself- “Something” Botique on East 11th Street.. maybe East 10? Wherever it is- it’s APPROVED!

Empire Sparkle Heels: APPROVED!

The press release for these limited edition shoes came out in Spring and the official photos did not do them justice.  On Monday night, I strolled past the GEOX store where these shoes are smartly displayed and I immediately felt lightheaded- stars swooned around my head as a flurry of sparks lit up my eyes! “Sparkle Confusion” soon set in, as I wasn’t sure whether to focus on the fully SEQUINED UPPER SHOE or the RHINESTONE ENCRUSTED HEEL shaped in honor of NYC’s own Empire State Building. What a fabulous tribute and purely magical idea!

The only problem with these shoes- which do I choose?  Leopard, black and purple sequin- all are my favorites and all are APPROVED!
