"as shiny as a new pin"

my mother used to say that
(obviously, she was referring to ordinary dressmaker's pins,
as opposed to the fun 'n' funky coloured ones I have)

it could refer to my house right now - the last remaining teens (the ones who slept over) swept, mopped, hoovered and polished their little hearts out this morning and there was I thinking that the house was actually pretty clean and tidy after last night's efforts (I think I'm being prepped for the next party - apparently I am the only mother who will actually let her daughter have a party) (now, if I was going to tell you about what happened during the party you'd be agreeing with the other mothers - but WE ALL KNOW that "what happens at the party stays at the party")
.
perhaps it's a subtle hint from my daughter that I need to improve my householder standards?
.
nah!

What happens at the party, stays at the party.

I'm with ya on that one.
And I'm all about those flashy funky pins!

I'd find a use for 'em!

I'd quite like some shiny, funky, fun safety pins but I haven't seen any of them anywhere. (and dressmakers pins just wouldn't do the job, however fun they might be)
