Glitter Outbreak in Southern California. World Health Organization On Alert.

You might have noticed recently that if you are involved in Glitterfest 2009 people, friends and colleagues are staring at you and your face. They seem alarmed or concerned. Close friends might have the nerve to say, “Is that a new makeup?” Or “You have something on your face.” Little do they know that our world will never be the same. Our cars, homes, clothes, family members, pets, hair and skin will always have an iridescent look which will never go away. A sort of sparkle; small but quite obvious. It is May 5, 2009. Glitter has appeared in many homes and studios in California and possibly other states and there seems to be no cure in sight. With just a touch on your face from a hand that has embraced a Glittered object that you are adorning it is unlikely Glitter will ever be eliminated.

What do we need to do during this outbreak? Is there a vaccine? Are there precautions to take? Are face masks helpful or latex gloves? Absolutely not. People need to accept the fact that Glitter is not going away. Even after May 16^th Glitterfest. They need to either embrace Glitter, or get a mini-dustbuster for those times their glitter-friends visit. Glitter is not harmful, I repeat not harmful. In fact, glitter can uplift people’s spirits; can help those in need of waking up and getting out of the mundane, day after day lifestyle. Even though I’m at the beginning stages, it has already changed my life.

So, if you come across one of your Glitter-friends, don’t be afraid. But embrace your friend, because in reality whether you hug her or not, you will still be bringing small specks of Glitter back with you into your home and life.
