Marrakech: and the Moroccan slipper or babouche

Oh, it may not be in the medical books, but mark these words:  sequins have curative powers. 

Preliminary findings from clinical studies currently underway in Marrakech demonstrate that sequins can be used to treat a wide variety of modern day ailments --  from crabby moods, to snapping unnecessarily at one's spouse, to sweating the small stuff. 

Never mind those paragons of good taste who poo-poo  sequins at every opportunity.  Indeed, the blogging girl had noticed that it was those very poo-poo-ers who seemed to suffer from high degrees of  irritability.  'Nuff said.

Although scientific advances had not yet allowed for the ingestion of sequins intravenously, other means of application seem to provide almost instant diminishment of problematic symptoms.  Particularly promising appears to be the wearing of sequinned babouches, or Moroccan slippers.  The only reported side effect is an accompanying giddy, light headed feeling. 

One six-year old tester, who had recently scraped her knee when riding her bike without training wheels, put on a pair of Moroccan slippers and immediately shrieked, ooooh, pretty, sparkly, princessy....!

A medical miracle. 

Applications of sequins via internet remain highly experimental of course.......

Psst, a gift of Moroccan slippers with every purchase of a sequined Moroccan wedding blanket.  A double whammy for those suffering from mild forms of depression.

Anything sparkly always brings a smile to ones face regardless of age. I have a turquoise satin bag with silver & turquoise sequins from Bali hanging on a white wall for curative purpose. Let us in on price if no purchase is made on the blanket. I love the black with turquoise sequins - although the Lilac is also precious. So Spring Like.

Ohhh I have the light blue ones on right now!!! And a pair of lavender ones sitting right next to my bed! Do you have any fuschia ones Maryam? I gave mine away :(

I'm touching that sequinny screen and feeling better already!

[My Notting Hill]

I needed some sparkle this afternoon -thanks!

[Jennifer Jeffrey]

Curative powers indeed! Just looking at them on my screen here made me smile...

My inner princess is feeling giddy already. Thanks, M.

That six year old is a sage! She knows the power of the sparkle. I am awaiting those stunning wedding blankets, so that I too can be infused with the magic of sparkles.

I advice anyone reading this post to make a mad dash to those wedding blankets. Feel your health immediately improve with something sparkly.

[tangobaby]

Such a smart girl! She will find that sparkly things will make her smile for her whole life. (I think I want the blue slippers.)

And I'll bet that sequins have far less calories than chocolate... ;-)

[Heather]

I have pink ones and they really are wonderful. I wish I could wear them everywhere. PS: What do we do when they wear out and we don't need another wedding blanket (grin). Maryam - you are going to need a link on your blog just for ordering slippers!!

[High Desert Diva]

Oh hell Maryam! I must find some friends to go in on an order with me....I love the colors of the ones you have pictured here. Then again, maybe I need a different pair for each day of the week. I wonder if this could be considered a business expense? Ha!

I'm hardly a glitzy gal, but I agree, when I put on my sequined slippers, I feel like a princess and all the troubles of the world go away when I gaze upon my tootsies.
I could use, like, 15 more pair in various colors, though.

[Marianna]

I wear my fuscia slippers in my massage therapy office and I can attest that they are definitely mood elevators and oh, so comfy, too!!

[Faye]

I really want some of these but I can't put together a large order locally. Is it possible to coordinate an order in the U.S. among several of us?

[Ana]

I already have three pairs (white, blue and fuschia), but I'm already lusting for the green, black and lavendar. I don't think you could ever have enough!

[studio wellspring]

[Pethra på Inredningsbloggen]
