SPARKLE VIDEO DAY!

I’m still on vacation so my clock is a bit off resulting in a very late post of today’s Sparkle Video. Once you see this you’ll understand how my week has been- nothing but fabulous!

This  DAZZLING video was made by the Berlin Sparkle Soldiers at Chlorophorm TV and it’s all about the Sparkle Army party last Saturday which was OFF THE CHAIN!  They did such an amazing job- I just HAD to feature it this week… ENJOY!

Thank You Berlin!

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!

It’s SPARKLE VIDEO DAY from BERLIN!

With so much to do before Join The Sparkle Army at Monster Ronson’s tomorrow night, I almost forgot it’s Sparkle Video Day!  ALMOST. Don’ t worry though- Da General would never do that to you.

This Doris D & The Pins video is one of my favorites and is a classic in every way- the music, the outfits, the gobs of smoke. In fact, with all the disco balls strewn about, it looks like Ronson’s right now- except that we have more GLITTER, SPARKLES and LASER BEAMS!

Come see for yourself tomorrow night, September 11th… and wear your dancing shoes because this party goes on all night long and remember…. MORE IS MORE!

Berlin!

I arrived in Berlin yesterday morning and the excitement is overwhelming- everyone here is ready to SPARKLE UP and PARTY DOWN!  Glitter is SOLD OUT everywhere you go and talks of outfits are jamming the cell towers! This Saturday night promises to be LEGENDARY and with so many Sparkle Surprises and fabulous things to get ready, I’m unable to post as much as usual.  To make it up to you… here’s one of my favorites to get you in the mood.

Join the Sparkle Army this Saturday, September 11th at Monster Ronson’s and dance all night with me and DJ’s Emil Doesn’t Drive and SpaceLex!  Lendless and very special guests DEN HAAN are performing LIVE and don’t forget… a 50 Euro Bar Tab prize for Spaciest Sparkle Outfit!

Sparkle Space Mission

Normally I’d wait until Friday to post a video as sparkling this one- but I just couldn’t!  Not just because of it’s GLITTERING FABULOSITIES, but also because it’s his birthday. Yup- featuring our favorite lovable nutter Monster Ronson as the SPARKLY SPACEMAN, this promo ad for “Join The Sparkle Army” on September 11 will overcome you with Sparkle Madness!

Happy Birthday Ronson.. see you soon!

It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for- the official invite for the next Sparkle Army party at Monster Ronson’s in magical Berlin!

If you have a Spaced Out Sparkle Outfit you’ve been gagging to wear- this would be the time!  Den Haan is coming all the way from Glasgow for an intergalactic LIVE performance along with Lendless from Berlin!   DJ’s Emil Doesn’t Drive and SpaceLex will keep you dancing all night and I’ll be there too- with SPARKLES ON!

September 11, 2010….   see you soon!

Captain JK & Dr. Sparkles

What better way to start the week than by paying tribute to the soldiers that make the Sparkle Army proud. Pictured here is the amazing duo of Captain JK and Dr. Sparkles- inseparable friends who joined the SA back in March 2009. They have truly embraced the Word of Glitter and work tirelessly to promote living life to the fullest. For this, we honor them today with a grand SPARKLE ARMY SALUTE!

Dr. Sparkles: How cool is it that we have our own actual REAL Doctor to look after us?  For even I, Da General, have cut myself on the sharp edge of a sequin during a long night of dancing. Having the shimmering Doctor and her bottomless supply of happiness around always makes me feel better at parties!

Captain JK: What can you say about someone who starts making his SPARKLE OUTFIT weeks in advance with thousands of gems and mirror tiles plus incorporates both the Sparkle Army and Monster Ronson’s logos into his design?  SPARKLE dam OCD is the only thing I can think of- in the most fabulous way of course!  The only downside is The Captain is also very enthusiastic about vodka- which caused him to leave the party early in blackout mode, run to the bridge and produce the most dazzling TECNHICOLOR YAWN ever seen by man!

Ahhh devotion, thy name is sweet.

Sparkle Tanks: APPROVED!

Every day we’re bombarded with more bad news by the media and quite frankly, I think these “Debbie Downers” should get out of the news industry altogether.  Didn’t they have friends growing up?  Why can’t they report on something we’re gagging to know about- like these FAB Sparkle Tanks at Express!  Now, Da General does not officially endorse brands, however, Express does get recognition for staying strong on Sparkle Wear for at least 3 years now.  Whenever I feel like I need a new bit of DAZZLE in my wardrobe, I pop in to have a look and there is always something to make my eyes gleam- whether it’s a t-shirt smothered in sequins or a rhinestone encrusted jacket.

With all the outdoor parties happening this summer- you NEED Sparkle Tanks because when the sun goes down and the lasers come out- you’ll want to be the Superstar.  Another reason- they are APPROVED!

Hello World!

“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!
