Blingee

Upload a photo, bury it in animated glitter, sparkles, blooming roses and possibly a dancing Snoop Dogg, and post the result to your MySpace. Blingee was the free GIF maker behind the most gloriously over-decorated images of the 2000s web — and when it announced its own death in 2015, its fans talked it out of dying.

Body Glitter

Roll-on, gel, or powder with a puff — applied to the collarbones, the eyelids, and eventually the entire upper body before a school dance. It came in every color imaginable, and its single defining property was that it never came off. Not that night, not that week, not from your bedsheets.
