No! Nooooo! Nooooooo!

I saw a horrid commercial on TV and I guarantee this toy is going to be the "IT" thing for all girly girls this Christmas season. It is the I Love (actually it has a heart where the word love is supposed to be) Glitter Barbie. Are you serious? Glitter? Glitter for the doll's hair? Glitter that must be fastened to the doll's hair by "gel"? I am not even exaggerating a little bit when I say I started babbling "no no no no no no no no no" at the television. And guess what? My girls haven't even seen the commercial yet! Nor to I intend on them ever seeing it. In the Bungalow from now until Christmas we are going to be TV free. Ok, not really. Crap. I swear, if any of you lot (that includes you, Mom) buy my daughters anything with glitter I will hunt you down. Capeesh? Beacause the only words scarier than an unexpected "babe, I'm pregnant," is "LOOK, MOM, IT'S GOT GLITTER!!!!"

My hubby thinks I'm mean bcause I will not allow and have never allowed glitter in the house!! If I get a glittery birthday card or christmas card, it stays in the envelope!! I despites the stick-to-everything-so-you-sparkle-in-the-sun sticky shit that is glitter!!

Sadly, my 5 yr old has seen the advert and ooh'd and ahh'd at it and declared 'I want that' (as she does to every other girly advert on the telly). She WON'T be getting it. I shall take a very large gun and point it at Santa's head if she gets one for Christmas. I hope he's listening

"I swear, if any of you lot buy my daughters anything with glitter I will hunt you down."

Of course, we would NEVER do that to you, Kat. What was your address again? Just for the holiday greeting card, obviously...Hey, Cap'n! Psst! I have an idea! *snicker*

Just kidding. I swear.
P.S. (love to be referred to as "you lot." Very UK.

Not.even. I'm so grateful my daughter is way beyond the Barbie phase. Now all she's interested in is Ken.

Don't you love it when you go to an important meeting and there's just a hint of glitter next to your left nostril? The stuff gets everywhere.

Tune the TV into to BBC channels and then lose the remote. No adverts. It's the main reason we watch BBC here.

Oh, and don't let them near the Argos catalogue either!

Yes, ma'am, no glitter for Kat! I'm making a note so I won't forget. Glitter is like the little girl toy version of nuclear waste...shiny, glowing and nearly impossible to clean up :)

Glitter and man cold? Is fate paying you back for something?
