Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for December 06, 2016

I accidently swallowed some sparkle from a Christmas decoration the other day, and it got caught in my throat. I’m not going to be taking that vitamin again anytime soon.

next winter, Phoebe should come prepared with sunglasses when Marigold sparkles her

The human form of vitamin sparkle is a controlled substance in most places.

Humanity has by-and-large forgotten about the need for sparkle vitamins. However next time let Phoebe put on some shades first.

I don’t think that’s a safe vitamin. I have always believed that if it sparkles too much, it is bad for you. Just look at the warnings certain animals give you through their colors, like the poison dart frog.

I went to the Aquarium today after class. One of staff was feeding the octopus. She climbed up the handlers arm and just stayed in the cradle of her arm while being fed fish and crab. The handler petted her and the octopus turned a light blue. “They can taste us through their suckers and tell us apart. We like each other.” Sparkle me Mari . . . AU -

“Vitamin Sparkle” sounds like a vitamin Twilight would concoct and name after herself.

re: Octopus information above: Y’know, subscribing as I do to the necessity of “believing six impossible things before breakfast” in adding joy to life, and while I do love Unicorns, the things like the octopus stories, from real life, are the best. They help me believe those “six impossible things” because, obviously, there are more things in heaven and on earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy. Or our fancies!

You can (almost) get the same results with a strobe light.

Actually, “Vitamin Sparkle” sounds like the name of a character from the Dick Tracy strip.
