Glitter Girl

She's a Cyndi Lauper look-alike. had a ‘one hit wonder’ back in the day; a tune about some balloons and a bike. She's not new anymore but still a ‘hip’ artifact for sure. Glittered eyebrows, bangles, and beads, she’s what any wistful old guy thinks he needs. The spiky hair with crimson streaks peeks between lacquered tweaks of graying strands; a pixie named Trixie, revered by many 80's rock bands. We like her colorful untidiness; the prismatic stockings, her mismatched punkie-ness always the under-dressed epitome of a pop princess. She has her own style, not old just been around awhile. Notwithstanding folks still smile at her girlish wiles. Still an internet presence, still childish enough though her voice is more gruff due to toking medicinal stuff. Now she sells pain creams, and walk-in tubs as seen on TV for those with gout and unworkable knees. The renowned owner of pimped-up poodles, she maintains herself on bowls of wasabi noodles. The lady dwells above all commonsense amid a trendy affluence, way above the madding throng, forever hopeful, ever young a songbird trilling ambrosial love, of balloons and bikes and far off days when sheeny rainbows paved our more simple ways.
