Tiara's to ear piercing

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: too crowded

...If you are female and have magpie tendencies then this Aladdin’s cave of trinkets is for you. If it’s a pink sparkled tiara you’re looking for or your ears pierced then look no further, with 360 shops scattered around the UK there isn't a Claire’s Accessories very far away. These shops can be easily spotted at weekends and school holidays as they are packed solid with girls spending hard cash. Their appeal seems to be to cater for all ages from 3 years plus but with more of an attraction to the 12-15 year group. So what’s in it for the more mature shopper? Plenty, there are rows and rows of earrings, necklaces, rings, stick on eyelashes, tattoos, hair clips and accessories, nail varnish and a thousand other items. Their shops seem to be always small and packed to the ceiling with every body adorning...

Elton Bares All

Advantages: Elton is human
Disadvantages: Elton is also Kevin The Teenager

...PMS and a brand new credit card. Clothes, Art, Glasses. Nothing is safe from him. During his attempted holiday stay at Cap Ferrat in Southern France he takes you on a tour of his wardrobe. This is a room and a half of racks upon racks of suits, jackets, shirts and trousers, 6 drawers of glasses - arranged according to colours - and 2 tiaras. There is also a table full of vitamin pills and a large fridge/freezer stocked with his own food, especially M&S breakfast muffins. He admits to taking all this with him when he goes on holiday because it makes him feel at home. Y'know, like <singing> "Wherever I lay my 65 suits, 50 trousers and 43 silk shirts, that's my home." There are more tantrums, more interviews, songs, footage of him having severe breathing difficulties during a stage performance, yet going back on to complete the remainder...

Review of Tantrums and Tiaras

Leopard print, tiaras, eyeliner and feather boas

Advantages: Its the Manics
Disadvantages: Travelling, queuing and cold

...already there, the fans who have queued up for ages, some of them since early morning. Most are adorned with leopard print, feather boas, tiaras and eyeliner (and unfortunately, quite often a can of Stella too...) . In a way its our tribute if you like, to the Manics themselves, where they came from and who they used to be. There is a lot of pressure too, if you don't wear a big cat print, if you haven't polished your Toys R' Us tiara, if you don't know the 11th line in "Stay Beautiful, then you are not a Manics Fan. Not a proper one anyway Those two hours waiting in the December cold wearing just T-Shirts and lashings of eyeliner seemed to last an eternity, but finally , slightly late as always, the doors were flung open and the queue started to move. It didnt take too long to get to the front, a q u ick search by security and we...

Bow Bangles a little girls heaven

Advantages: Not too expensive
Disadvantages: My girls would spend forever in there

...A trip to Nottingham with my girls has to include a visit to Claires Accessories or Bow Bangles. I prefer to call it Bow Bangles as that describes the shop so well. As you enter the shop you are greeted by a young lady offering a basket (I have yet to be greeted by a man). The greeter also tells you of the best offer. More often than not the offer seems to be ear piercing but yesterday it was 3 pairs of hoop earrings for £1. The shop is every thing a young girl could want! They sell GHA as my husband insists on calling them. Every thing you could want to put in a girl’s hair. Bows, hair clips, hair bands, hairpieces, hair ties and tiaras. My oldest wore one of the Tiaras for my sisters wedding a few years ago. Jewellery is displayed invitingly around the shops. Earrings, (some I mentioned earlier), nose rings...

Sleeping Sound

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: none apart from hard to open loll

...Well you are going to start seeing quite a few reviews of Barbie products from me, as my as my daughter has quite a collection, every time she sees something Barbie I have to buy it. So when she asked for this doll how could I refuse? The doll came neatly packaged, and very presentable; the only problem I had was with getting the doll out of the box loll. Now I know that sounds stupid, but the amount of things they tie them to the box with is very frustrating, it took me about 15 minutes just to get everything out loll. So in the box the doll came complete in a beautiful long dress, also wearing a tiara. The box also came complete with a tiara for my daughter to wear, and also a classical music cd that has never been played loll. My daughter loves this doll, and will play with it for hours, she loves brushing her hair, and just...

Things to make a girl pretty

Advantages: fun things
Disadvantages: ?

...Claire?s accessories There are a lot of these shops about. They are very small and full of lots of fun things for girls. These are things to make a girl glitter and shine to make her pretty. The jewellery in these shops is really suitable for those females a little younger than I. Although I have bought the occasional hair band or clip from here for myself to wear. Mostly I have bought jewellery for my young nieces from here as stocking fillers for Christmas or birthday gifts. Claire?s shop contains jewellery of all kinds, earrings, hair bands, hairclips, feather boas, stick on jewels, rings even tiaras (which if you dressed them up would be suitable for a bride). They sell fake flowers to put in your hair all very up to the minute jewellery all at a reasonable price suitable for buying for a party or everyday wear...
