You've Got My Attention

I've always been enchanted by bright shiny things. I guess I'm easy to distract. ;)

 

Here's a bit of historical information gleaned from Wikipedia...."Evidence exists that gold sequins were being used as decoration on clothing or paraphernalia in the Indus Valley as early as 2500 BC, during the Kot Diji phase. Solid gold sequins sewn into royal garments were found inside the tomb of Tutankhamun.

 

During the 1920s, after the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb, sequins witnessed a renewed popularity as a consequence of Egyptomania. The usage of sequins (typically made out of metal) were widely popularized as a fashion statement by flapper girls during this period."
