"Sparkles by Maxine"
Maxine Simeone told ABC action news; she started making hair accessories when she was eight or nine.
A bead fell off a hairband. So she glued it back on. She drew some dresses, too. "For Lady Gaga and Beyonce!" she says.
She recently asked a shop owner in Clearwater, FL, if she could sell her creations inside -- and they said, "yes, of course!" Now, you can find her accessories under her brand, "Sparkles by Maxine," at a Clearwater store called the Poolside, located in the Shoppes on Sand Key.
You can also find Maxine's creations on ETSY. She would like to expand her brand, get in more stores, maybe even start a men's line. Making people happy with "Sparkles by Maxine" makes her day, and she hopes it makes yours.
Wearing your Sparkles by Maxine headband shows that you believe in the talent and value of people with disabilities. #Sparkles and social inclusion… it's an eye-catching combo!
