My first Glamour bombing:

I was walking down the street in my coat and sunglasses (think Neo from the Matrix). With a glowstick. And I saw this guy who looked sort of sad. I broke my glowstick (so it would start working), walked up to him, added a professional note to my voice and started this conversation:
"Excuse me sir. Have you seen any Fairies around here?"
"What!?!?"
"Fairies Sir. They're causing the heat. I'm hunting for them. Sargent Selkie of the Glamourbomb Squad."
"I see..." I gave him the glowstick.
"This is a fairy detector. If it's glowing, there are fairies around. If that happens, tell somebody wearing sunglasses like mine IMMEDIATELY. They are also undercover agents. Thank you sir" As I walked away he stood, looking at the glowstick and laughing.

It felt great. So I did it to every other person I saw on my walk home. If they were alone I explained that they should place pink glitter on the windowsill to keep "evil fae" out and "good fae" in. And if they had children, I commended them for keeping a "fairy watcher" nearby.

I think I like this type of bombing. Sort of random performance art. I think I'll try this type of thing again. With balloons and noisemakers and more glowsticks.

I am in love with that idea. Echoing others, but very inspiring post.

I know a girl that bombs at the local open market on the weekend of St. Patricks day in a lavish outfit, and gives out chocolate gold coins and goodies, telling everyone she caught a (excuse the spelling error!)Leprachaun. Never seen her do it, but I was proud to know such great glamourbomber. You two should swap ideas.. crimsonslumber is her user name.

That is ridiculously awesome. I wish I had the gumption (and the poker-face) required to do something like that.

YAY! I love stuff like that.

*remembers the time she and her friends ran around the mall asking people if they "frowned upon frivolity?".

that's outright genius. well done.
its sounds like so much fun.

there's been a significant lack of glamourbombing around here lately. once I'm done exams, I need to start doing some more. This gives me so many ideas.

I bet you made that guy's week!
I like making goofy faces at people on the street who look down, but I like what you did even better. :)

I would giggle if I did any of that. It's just the kind of person I am, I can't help but smile and laugh.
