I Love Me Some Glitter

August 29, 2008 by Jillian
I heart glitter.  Always have.  Always will.  It’s sparkly and fun, and really fabulous if you wear it well.

OMFG: SARAH PALIN

August 29, 2008 by Jillian
First, I must acknowledge her little one wearing a tiara with her arms folded in a very surly manner.  LOVE HER.  She’s going to rule the world someday.  I’m sure of it.
