When the beauty fades, when the lines appear, when the hair grows thinner and thinner.
{Oh! When did the young girls become so beautiful?}
That's when I reach for the sparkle.
A distraction, perhaps, from the widening middle.
A detour from the wrinkled hands.
Perhaps all you'll see is my sparkle.
Yes.....my sparkle
I'm thinking of wearing a turban. For real.
My hair is not looking its best. And I think that turbans are, well, stunning.
But you have to have real confidence to pull off a turban. I think it's time to reinvent myself.
And since it is Summer, why not a turban with a swimsuit? {Okay, that might be pushing it.}
What do you think? Would you ever wear a turban?
