Glitter (life)

Yesterday, on my way to work, a woman drove past on a little Vespa-type scooter. The scooters are not so common in my area. This could be in part due to the fact that I'm in a high traffic area or perhaps due to the fact that the potholes are bigger than my Honda, therefore putting scooters deep into the danger (oh my god, I'm not going to make it up and out of this pothole) zone.

But, the fact that it was a scooter really was not the most interesting part of this story. The driver was, in fact, wearing a bright green glitter helmet. Like real glitter. Shiny glitter than you typically only see on a child's Christmas ornament or on some crazy crafty lady's covered photo album. But this was on a helmet--an official motorcycle helmet.

Today's my first day with a camera phone so I have no actual evidence of the green glitter helmet. So, I tried to recreate it in Photoshop. Today's my first day with Photoshop.
