A couple of weeks ago, six
Children’s Fairyland employees chose to have sparkly metallic strands attached
to their own hair. I was one of them. And we’re not alone. Others (mostly
women) who have chosen to have beautifully colored, iridescent
strands woven into their tresses include members of Flex Gym on Piedmont Ave., partygoers in
Marin, and regular patrons of an East Bay beauty salon.
Very Fairy Events was in town twice
recently, for Fairyland’s Member Appreciation Day, in late August, and our
adults-only Drawn Together arts event, in late September. At those events we typically
offer such delights as face painting, hair chalking and henna “tattoos.” Lately,
though, we’ve noticed that the fairy hair strands are really catching on.
