Lush bath bomb and glitter = trouble.

[JazzieJeff]

I've got glitter in my lady garden. It isn't coming out. Ive tried everything, hopping in the shower, towelling it vigourously, it's not cutting it.

It was one of those royal wedding bath bombs with ticker tape and festive glitter in it. I was enjoying it ever so much up until I started washing, and discovered to my dismay that the glitter went much further than previously anticipated. The stuff is hanging on for dear life. Its like having shiney crabs. (not that ive ever had crabs, but if they were shiney, I bet this is what they'd look like).

For God's sake I thought I'd spruce myself up on my afternoon off to look nice for DH when he gets back from work. Instead, I've got some sort of accidental vajazzle.

Look girls, look!!! We're in MN Classics!

Not only that, but exciting news from the land of Twitter! I got Riven as a follower! That means she of Riven fame is watching us [csmile] at least, I think it's the same one. I think that might mean she's alright. Everyone wave at Riven

Anyway, back to the theme of the thread. I have got a jar or Whole Earth organic smooth peanut butter. I feel it should be organic when faced with the erm, job in hand so to speak. But how to apply? I've just had my nails put on this week, so fingers are out of the question. A butter knife perhaps? Should I spread the affected area? I'm going to have to work up some courage though. I'm not sure about all this. There is however, some sticky stuff remover advertised in Lakeland. It says it removes all kinds of troublesome things, like labels from jars and chewing gum from hair. Glitter in a lady garden must be linked in to all this, surely. Or glitter on a bathtub?

[JazzieJeff]

Volcano bombs wah? please explain....

Some good news; I went to the beach this afternoon [csmile]

Some bad news... I went to a sandy beach this afternoon iyswim [chmm]

[wahwahwah]

Not sure what they are really called - we call them volcano bombs. They are green are fizzle up all over the place when they get wet - and make a terrible tide-line in the bath!

[LadyClariceCannockMonty]

at 'fingers are out of the question'. Have you got any of those wooden spatula things that you get for applying leg wax?

[angell74]

I am sorry to laugh at your predicament but I can honestly say that you have really made my afternoon.... my kids are looking at me like I've lost it.

If I was you I would just embrace the situation and claim it was a deliberate patriotic act! :o

[ChildofIsis]

The lakeland sticky stuff remover should do the bath a treat. It's made from some sort of citrus stuff. All natural and no chemicals. I've used it on school uniforms.
I'm not sure you should use it in your 'garden' though. Maybe you could e-mail and ask them. I bet it's a question they've not had before1

[TrudyVotion]

Ah dear >wipes tears away<

I don't have time to read all of this now as DH is making those "why am I looking after DS while you're doing nothing?" hmphy noises, but I did think you could just shave off your lady garden. If you use DH's shaver that will ensure you spread the glittery love [cgrin]

[chrisonabike]

Feel the sorrow of (uncircumcised) XDP who after a glittery bath had a bit of sparkle 'under the hood' for ages

I might re-fire-up by twitter account just to follow your vajazzly progress, OP

[HipposGoBeserk]

Wonderful thread .

I once permanently dyed my bath blue with a Lush bath bomb. Bastard Lush. Bastard divinely tempting delicious Lush.

[SoupDragon]

Confessions, please use a glittery bath bomb just before you give birth. Your baby will sparkle!

Jazzie - I hope you (or your DH) do not have a peanut allergy. Can you imagine explaining where you'd "eaten" the peanuts...

[BellaBearisWideAwake]

laurie, did your husband have glitter in his goatee for the reason I think he had??. And no one else has commented on this??!!

[mojojojo838]

I've (quite possibly) never posted or responded to a thread here before but, oh my - what a pick me up, and did I need a good laugh today. Sorry it's at your expense, but I am crying laughing :o

[jbcbj]

oh, i have not laughed for a while and this has broken the duck - amazing, thank you so much!

love kreecher's plant in the plug hole - have visions of something from Little Shop of Horrors appearing....

jazzie, could you dye it and pretend it's all part of one big plan to....er....redecorate?

[JazzieJeff]

glad everyone is smiling so much at my misfortune





It's not the erm, furrier parts that are the problem btw; it's the recently shaved parts. The glitter seems to be stuck onto the skin there and enjoying hiding amongst the stubbly re-growth. The trouble with shaving it again so soon is that I'll get dreadful rash (sensitive skin, and one bruises like a peach so waxing is a no no) I can't, in all honesty just go and whack a load of peanut butter on my special area sober. I'm going to have to have some I think. In the meantime, I'll get onto Lakeland for some of that sticky stuff remover for the bath.

[CatPower]

This might sound crackers, but what about some sellotape on the less furry areas? Nowhere near as sticky as waxing but should be sticky enough to pick up the glitter.

Definitely one for after a wine or four, I don't think it's a task for sober hands.

[pjmama]

Shave the lot off!

[diabolo]

I'm with pjmama

And it will make for interesting night-time's for a while.....

[killerheart]

These posts have made me and my daughter cry with laughter...we will NOT be buying any.....ever!!!

[HooverTheHamaBeads]

Sticky roller? One of those what you roll on your clothes to pick up lint?

[JazzieJeff]

[cgrin]

[JazzieJeff]

Oh good grief, I'm all over Twitter [cgrin]

[heliumballoons]

jazzie Sorry but I have just ROFL @ the whole of this thread. [cgrin]

jazzled verjazzle.

Needed a laugh today - thankyou.

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

Oh lordy, I've just got one of these today!

[JazzieJeff]

Burn it jareth BUUURRRRRNNNN IIIITTTTTT!!!!

[whomovedmychocolate]

It's made of zinc, glitter isn't it - can't you just get it off with a magnet? The metal attracting thing, not the kitchen people?
