BLINGALICIOUS WORKSHOP – APRIL 10

Sunday 4pm to blingy-heaven-goodness! in Redwood City at Kip’s Compound

Learn the secrets behind the Magical Red Shoes! Put some Ooo-la-la in your Ooompha! You'd never believe how easy it can be! Blondie is your Playa Fashionista, Kip your gracious hostess-with-the-mostest, and Heidi your convoy camel boy.

What to Bring: Things to decorate: Your tired, your weary, your yearning to be sparkly shoes, boots, corsets, bustiers, parasols, umbrellas (wanna-be parasols) hats, bras, undies, skirts, shirts, whatever... With a long pole, a holiday ornament and some sparkly ribbon, you can create a staff to accessorize your outfits. Add some lights to it, and turn heads as you strut the playa.

Things to decorate with: Bring your parts and pieces, your gemstones, your beads, chains, mirror sequins, fringe, beaded trim, coconuts, whatever. Bring your single earrings, or pairs that you never wear, as they make for great adornments. Have any battery operated flashing body jewelry? Small flat holiday decorations are great clothing decorations as well. Be sure to
bring some extra to share and trade.

Your supplies: This includes your glues. Bring your hot glue gun, your basic adhesive glue and your super glue - just bring all of your glue, and Blondie will show you what works on what. Her personal favorites include aquarium 100% silicon glue, Elephant glue, Velcro glue, and a good super glue. The package will have a list of what items that super glue works best on. If it includes GLASS, then you have a good super glue. You may want to look for super glue that uses a brush to apply it, as that is the easiest to work with. So is a gel, which is a must for any fabric applications. Also, bring your Buttoniere if you have one. Staplers and scissors and tape if you think you need them. Bring your own rag if you are working with anything messy, and are
anything like Blondie. She glued herself to her living room floor, TWICE !!!!

Food: Potluck as usual - or we'll order in Chinese! (Who wants to cook when there's bling to play with!) Bring a cup. Bring something for Kip to drink. Bring something for Blondie to drink. Bring something for Heidi to drink. Wait, er, fine. Bring something to put in your own cup (and in ours).

** Special Announcement ** Michael & Gwen of Michael's Light Toys have the coolest blinky sh!t in the world, and will be coming all the way from Walnut Creek to this pahrtay. They will be bringing much needed and beloved blinky baubles for your costuming at reasonable Burner prices! (Cash preferred, but local checks ok if we know you) Since when does the best blinky sh!t (light bling-bling) come to you?!? Since Now! Yayyy!!!!! Bring light bling.

Still need more bling? We'll convoy to bling-central for other types of bling (the bling-without-lights store). This is where to get beaded trims, bells, sequins, glues, etc. Bring your credit cards or cash, as they may not understand that gifting economy of ours......
