Glitter on, you crazy Neon


                All that glitters is neon. That’s the word on the internet-based street. It has certainly been a while since I wrote about one of my internet besties, none other than Neon Glittery. Located in an obscure part of the great United States, she toils away behind a hot camera, taking sweet pictures. She paints, writes, makes music, and generally her output makes me feel sloth-like. Wish I could write music or poems, I’m working on it. But I can’t compete with Neon’s swag especially regarding her ridiculously beautiful website. Her site has fully drawn animals, exquisite detail, and is easy to navigate. I have a bookshelf background for mine and you can sometimes click on stuff. 

                Neon already had swag. Her swag is legendary. She walks into the local soda pop shop and everybody whispers “It’s the glitter queen.” People have to pay her to use things like neon and glittery as she’s pure art. Only she has mastered the concoction of neon with glitter. Finally, after so many requests, she has decided to grace mere mortals with art-based swag items. 

                Joining with a big cartel (hopefully a kind one) to distribute T-shirts to the T-shirtless Neon wants to clothe the cool country, finally creating an alt lit dress code. People have tried for these dress codes before, like those all black turtle necks, but I think this has a bit more traction. Glad she’s decided to translate her art into T-shirt form, perhaps one of the most relevant art form known to man. Personally I dig the bird T-shirt, but that’s because Neon is close to her fellow animals.  

                What if T-shirts aren’t your thing? First of all, you’re crazy. You need t-shirts to cover up your shame (no offense to my nudist colony readers. Keep on living the life.) In case you have no shame you probably possess some kind of shelter, preferably one with flat walls and a ceiling. Does that describe the luxury you live in each and every gosh-darn day? If so are you in luck! Neon has decided to distribute en-masse of her Frank, whose backstory I won’t go into here. Suffice it to say Neon meets more interesting people in her dreams. My dreams usually consist of rainbow colored unidentifiable objects asking me for directions to the bus stop.

                 Her writing continues to come out all over the place. According to her she has tons of blog posts just waiting for a single press of a button, than presto, new material. One of them appears on her blog “What is this even” which goes over the joys of love and the ocean, two of my favorite things. LetPeoplePoems features an excellent, absolutely awesomely amazing piece called “totes rant”. This poem is known as a ‘crowd pleaser’ as crowds of people sing its praises. The best line in it must be “i’m not mocking our generation i’m flirting with it”. To me and millions of sloths that’s life changing stuff. 

                Put glue on your life and roll around in some Neon Glittery.
