Looks Like ‘Glitter Bum’ Is Set To Be This Year’s Festival Trend And We’re Worried

Megan Cassidy

If you don’t have a bejewelled bottom this summer, you’re nobody.

The arses of the nation will be shining bright this festival season, as hints of a (slightly worrying) new trend are beginning to emerge.

Penneys pride themselves on being first with all the latest fashion movements, so if their latest stock is anything to go by, you can expect a lot of glittery bums at Longitude.

And if they’re glittery, you can bet they’ll be bare.

Tweeter ‘nib’ shared a post of the ‘Glitter Force’ product, which illustrates in no uncertain terms where the gems are meant to be applied.

How do you put them on? Are they on a plastic sheet & you sit down on the sticky side & then pull? Or! do you have to get a good and willing friend to make it look pretty? Then how do you get them off? What if they fall off in the shower? Water pollution/blocked drains etc?
