This Fresh Breath Barrette Brooch is an homage to the super colorful, striped Aquafresh toothpaste I coveted as a kid. Even if the dentist visit freebie toothpastes I used to style it are Crest and Pronamel. I guess the dental community regards Aquafresh about as highly as my mom circa 1987.
Thankfully, when I'm playing dress up, I've got the full range of the rainbow at my disposal. So, I broke out tie-dye, plaid, and stripes bold enough to scare the mauve off a hygienist's scrubs. In particular, the turquoise of my bamboo bag brings back memories of the Sparkle Crest I once so loved and, yes, was allowed to use. It tasted a little like bubblegum and made my bedtime ritual feel as enchanted as Cinderella's. Post prince, of course. When Cindy was still an indentured servant, I imagine that she had gingivitis to rival Godzilla's.
So, thanks, Mom. For the Sparkle Crest. And all the My Favorite Muffins that made it so necessary.
