I was goofing around at Sephora yesterday and found a glorious package of "Boo Boo Bling". They're these plastic jewels that are supposed to be placed overtop of bandaids to make bandaids a little less...bandaid like. I'm not sure who would actually buy them. (Obviously me!) They remind me of the sparkly tattoos that I used to think was the coolest thing since sliced bread...when I was 13.

A lightbulb went off in my diabetic head. I had to purchase them. I felt the need to explain their intended use to the checkout lady and just got a strange and confused look. I guess I thought I was being clever by using them to decorate some mechanical body parts as opposed to real body parts.

So, I decided to bedazzle my diabetes gadgetry, because everything is better with sparkles.

Among other things, I was a costume designer for dance for a gazzilion years. But my very first performance in 1964 was a Fokine Festival (Les Sylphides, Spetre de la la Rose and Scheherazade). Bling is Bliss!!!!!
