During that wonderful golden age of local children's television, many talented people pooled their skills to enthrall and edify the impressionable, appreciative viewers. Yet with no disrespect intended toward any of the others, one person stood out in his ability to spin gold out of straw: Bill Jackson.
Bill's legion of fans still cherish his amazing adventures with the memorable puppet characters that sprung from his fertile imagination on programs such as Cartoon Town, The BJ and Dirty Dragon Show, and Gigglesnort Hotel. These programs remain as fresh and entertaining today as they did when they were first broadcast, and belie their meager budgets and restrictive production schedules, thanks to Bill's artistic integrity and his coterie of hard-working crew members.
Now, Bill steps out from behind his familiar TV persona to reveal a poignant personal journey filled with struggles, heartaches, and triumphs. "The Only Kid on the Carniva"l chronicles the indomitable spirit of a young man who became one of television's most creative and gifted talents, and does so in a boldly engaging manner that touches the heart and the soul.
As always, Bill Jackson does not disappoint his audience.
Ted Okuda, "The Golden Age of Chicago Children's Television"

Subtle but gorgeous
Color: Golden
I’d buy it just for the perfume bottle - just adorable. The glitter is light and gives a delightful shimmer on skin and hair. Not saying exactly how old I am but I remember the 80s…if you older and just want some sparkle THIS IS IT. It’s light cover and sheen is just enough to add some glam without looking like you’ve just come off the pole… If you are heading in that direction just use an extra couple of puffs of glitter and you go girl… Will likely buy more colors, so fun!

Love This Shimmer Spray!
Color: Silver
Absolutely love this glitter spray! I bought this for a party and it worked even better than I expected. The glitter is super fine and gives a beautiful, high-end shimmer without looking chunky or cheap. The spray nozzle is really easy to use and distributes the shimmer evenly on both hair and skin.

Shine bright!
Color: Golden
Shimmer is brilliant. It stays on longer if you add lotion to "seal" it in place. Small enough that it am not afraid it will hurt my eye if some gets in. Bonus that it has a refill. Bottle is super cute and glass.

Spray a couple of coats for more sparkly look
We’ve been using this glitter spray for my daughter’s cheer competitions, and it has been a huge hit! The sparkle is absolutely beautiful and very bright, holographic, and eye-catching under the lights. It really helps her stand out on the floor. A little goes a long way, and the spray applies evenly without clumping. What I love most is how quickly it dries and how well it lasts throughout the event. It stays put without making a mess or rubbing off easily on clothes. We’ve used it on her skin and hair with great results. Honestly, all the other kids notice it right away and end up wanting some too after seeing how sparkly it looks! Overall, this is a fun and effective product for competitions, performances, or any event where you want that extra shine. We’ll definitely keep using it! Update: This is the second time purchasing because we ran out sharing with our cheer friends.
