That is amazingly "owmyeyes." I wants it! *strokes the screen*

[eadwine]

Buy all means ;) (intentional typo hehe)

[AJoifulNoise]

*sniffles* I can only dream, sadly.

Not to hijack with my interesting color tastes!

[Patrycja]

at least it stands out in your hair Eadwine!! lol

[Moiraine]

I think it is beautiful. Very original and I love the colours...

[Delila]

I love bright colors! Subtlety is for other people. :stirpot:

[eadwine]

Oh it is NOT mine! DO note that. I just linked to it because I noticed it and went ouch. :lol:

[Patrycja]

ohhhhh LOL

[Anje]

Heh, that's how I feel about most dymondwood. Then again, that's a great hairfork for a Packers fan!

[chloeishere]

Oddly, though I own a lot of dymondwood, I think the tulipwood fork I have is actually the most vivid "KAPOW" I've got. It just looks really insanely bright in my hair! But I love it anyway, I wish I could wear it all the time.

I actually have a fork (made by jimfo) out of that same lemon/lime dymondwood, and IRL it's not as bright as it looks in the picture.

For me, however, nothing can be *too* bright, only too foofy.

[eadwine]

Too what?? Foofy?

ROFL... I LOVE this word, and I've never read anyone using it here.... hahahah

eadwine, 'foofy' to me is, well... very, or overly, decorated, often intricately. Is that how you use it as well, wendyg?

*wanders around chuckling and saying 'foofy' to herself for a while*

[eadwine]

Ohh that makes sense now :lol: Thanks!!

I call that "too blingbling".

[sapphire-o]

Nah, no wood can be too bright, even the dyed ones. :) If I show you my brightest hairtoy you might need sunglasses. :D

[eadwine]

By all means, that is what this thread is for, showing off the kapows! :D

[sapphire-o]

OK, this is a crazy golden hair clip with pink and red rhinestones. One of my brightest sparkly hairtoys. I have quite a few shiny hairtoys. :) I dimmed the photo to reduce glares. It's a fakkare style clip and the spring isn't bad. A bit too small for my hair, though. I imagine it was built for ponytails.

[eadwine]

Looking NICE, that, sapphire-o :)

[Cinnamon Hair]

I suppose my glow-in-the-dark ficcare would qualify?

(just kidding, there's no such thing... but hey ficcare creators: new product design idea!)

[eadwine]

Now you got me thinking "blacklight" :lol:

[Sarahmoon]

I liked that green-striped fork!

This hurts my eyes:

The sticks themselves are nice, but the tassles are too big and bright for me.

Or these...:

Those look like curtain rope thingies *giggle*

[aisling]

I think Dymonwood tend to photograph pretty bright, the flash makes the colours come out much brighter than they look in more natural light. I know this is true for my only two Dymonwood items (Graydog). They looked much brighter in the pics but as I had been warned, I guessed the colours would be more subtle in reality, which they really are.

[eadwine]

Ohh boy yeah, that falls in the KAPOW category alright!

Tulipwood is my favorite wood :D

Thank you for this! I lost my one and only hairfork (from 60th street too) when I moved in November. I figured this would be a nice replacement. :D

Oh, oh, oh! I WANT THAT!

Vel sits and drools, muttering, "shiny sparklies shiny sparklies shiny sparklies"

[truepeacenik]

I like the Guatemala fabric scrunchies. They run away too fast, but I've had loads over the years.

For me, anything pink is kapow and ouch. Anything with sparkly rhinestones, too.

foofy: we say "floofy" here.

[kimki]

What about this? http://www.glowsource.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HCB200G

Although IMHO tacky more than KAPOW. :D

OMG, that was funny! I think I'd like it on my neice though. :oops:

[kwaniesiam]

The only thing that comes to mind for a KAPOW hairtoy is a hunter's orange scrunchie. OMG I WANT ONE NOW! :bigeyes:

[eadwine]

*giggles at the bear* So cute!

[DecafJane]

For $0.95, you probably pay for what you get. ;) :p
It looks like it would be good for a dress-up party. :)

[kimki]

AND they flash! Maybe I should wear a couple when I cycle into work?! :D

[DecafJane]

Sweet! Stylish AND safety-conscious!! :cheese:

I can imagine rocking up to work with them in my hair! :D:D

If you worked with children or easily-distracted adults, it would be ideal!
