Dark Sparkle is the potent mix of the mysterious and the dangerous that makes something irresistibly attractive. It’s what causes people to push their limits to the point of insanity, what spurs exploration of territories both physical and metaphysical,, that unexplainable quality which arouses curiosity in the dark side. Some days, Dark Sparkle is your alter-ego; other days it is your most natural feeling form. Dark Sparkle is Mona Lisa’s smile, tarot cards at prom, mother’s milk, the apocalypse. Dark Sparkle is an adventurous way of life–audacious and bold as BRC itself.
