Bringing the Pockle

I’m gearing up to go to Magna cum Murder Mystery Festival, and that means new fingernail polish.

Hey, it can’t all be about food.

I got this bee-youtiful stuff called Spoiled by Wet N Wild, which sounds like a lot more fun than nail polish has any business sounding. It was only a buck-ninety-nine, so that was a plus. Please, don’t anybody tell me what they put in it to make it so glittery, ’cause I don’t wanna know. pocklyIt is, as our next-door grandson would have said when he was wee, very pockly. He had trouble with his s’s and his r’s.

It’s odd, but my nails are longer now than when they were painted blue, but the brown polish makes them look shorter than the blue polish did. Don’t you think that’s odd? Well, I think that’s odd.

So I will wear my pockly nail polish and my pockly fascinator and my pockly scarf and dazzle my fellow Magnets. Gentlemen, don your goggles.

    Ver-ly inter-reeeesss-ting. I had my nails done yesterday – not for your festival, but for the Texas Book Festival in Austin Texas this weekend. Red, bright red. Maybe the flash of color will attract book buyers to my booth. Ya’ think? Maybe I should’ve gone with “pockly.”Oh dear!

      No, bright red is always good! I did red for my previous book, which had red on the cover, then blue for the blue one, now brown and pockly because I won’t be hand-selling at this festival. Yeah — go for the red!
