In honor of Rio de Janeiro's famous Carnival, which, believe it or not, is once again upon us (March 13-17: http://rio-carnival.net/rio_carnival/carnival_in_rio.php), an illustrated history of the sequin. Who knew it all started centuries ago, with currency? And that it was rediscovered with the opening of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922 ~ just in time for the glitter and glam of the Jazz Age (aka the Roaring Twenties)?: http://moreintelligentlife.com/content/lifestyle/line-beauty
