[Sidenote: "sparkly heads" sounds kind of like a nickname that a chick blogger would have for her readers. You know the type I'm talking about - the one who pours glitter on everything and mentions unicorns frequently. I hope this is sufficiently distinct from that, though I have my doubts.]

I think sequins make almost anything better. In fact, I’m considering adding them to my morning oatmeal. [Kidding! Maybe.] So I decided that since my uber-minimal belongings are lacking in objets d’art adorned with things that shimmer and shine, I needed to take matters into my own hands. I had a styrofoam head wig stand that my neighbor had left behind in the apartment next door to my Bushwick digs, and damn it, why wasn’t it sparkly? Well, problem solved.

It went so well, in fact, that I went out and bought two more wig stands and adorned away. And I might be inclined to buy a couple more tomorrow so I can keep going.

These things accompanied me to my Minor Leagues shows this past weekend, adorning our merch table and peeking up from behind my keyboard stand. [Bandmates Ben and Hilly are freaked out by them. Or maybe they're freaked out by the fact that I had the patience to insert approximately 2500 dressmaker's pins into each head for no good reason at all.] And next weekend, when I have some important craft show business to attend to, I’m definitely going to bring these along so they can model some of my sexy knitted hats. Until then, though, they’re going to be hanging out in my kitchen, staring down the cats and anyone who dares take a spoonful of my peanut butter.

Should I add these to my Etsy shop, d’you think? Or would they make it straight onto the Regretsy hall of fame?
