I’ve put things on my Christmas wish list before – roller skates, a sweatshirt, there might have even been a misguided year asking for a pony. Seems like every little girl goes through that one. But you know what I’ve never asked for? A Bedazzler™.
I’ve never actually felt the urge to bedazzle anything. Purses, t-shirts, jeans shorts, sneakers – all seem just fine without sparkly sequins on them. Then there was a fascinating Grey’s Anatomy episode with the woman who’d bedazzled her vagina, something I’ve for sure never heard and thought well hey now, THAT’S an interesting idea. Mostly I spent that episode trying to picture exactly what it would take to bedazzle one’s girl parts because OW OW OW.
You gotta wonder what goes on in those writers’ rooms.
Now that we’re homebound in corona days this seems an excellent time to take up Bedazzler™ crafting. Seems like Mia’s bed could use a little bling, and Phoebe’s kind of a girlie girl. She’d probably appreciate a little extra sparkle on her collar, or maybe one tiny gemstone on each nail. Say it with me with jazz hands – the BEDAZZLER™!

Do you remember the AT&T commercial where the father’s in the AT&T store with the two girls and the younger sister gets all the older’s hand-me-downs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Y8UsbacKo

I never had a Bedazzler, but I did a lot of bedazzling shoes, T-shirts, sweatshirts, whatever was fabric and nearby, for a few years. I do like a little bling, although I do less of that nowadays.

I missed that episode of Greys. Something tells me I am feeling a little fortunate cause my mind immediately goes to writing the reaction of the first person to be bedazzled by being witness to the artwork. None of my business really. Thanks for the laugh and nice job with the prompt.

Thanks, John. It definitely made me think of how doctors see crazy things all day long and have to put on their professional face. Tough job.

OW OW OW is right! Our granddaughter asked for the toy version a few years ago for Christmas. I am not sure she ever bedazzled anything!

Sounds like one of a million Christmas toys that sounded better than the reality… 😆

I was never the one for it either. But a friend of mine is crazy for anything that shines and glitters!

Being in a completely male house now, bedazzled stuff are in a rarity. But secretly i quite fancy having a go on an old T-shirt.

Shoot, I say go for it. If you ever manage to get your hands on one that sounds like a terrific way to pass these weird homebound hours.

I actually owned a bedazzler. I did one vest. It took hours. I wore it often but never used it again. It ended up in a thrift store sonation bag along with lots of other unused items.

I have this theory that only 3,000 of the things were ever sold and now they’re just recycled through the market through garage sales and consignment stores. 😆
