I bought the book. I was so inspired by the first pages that I almost got into my knees in tears. I started immediately to ask myself “does this spark joy?” And I realized that that stupid book didn’t… so I threw it away. Now, my house is still a mess and I’m down 20 bucks :D
For those that don’t know: From Wikipedia………… Hammer pants (frequently and mistakenly[citation needed] referred to as “parachute pants”) are customized/modified baggy pants tapered at the ankle with a sagging rise made suitable for hip-hop dancing.1 They were popularized in the 1980s and 1990s by rapper MC Hammer.2 They were inspired by harem pants which originated in the Arabian Peninsula and introduced to Western fashion by Paul Poiret around 1910.
MC Hammer often wore them during live concerts and music videos.
Hammer’s specialized clothing line would come in a variety of colors and were usually shiny and flashy-styled, as seen throughout his hip-hop career during talk show appearances, concerts, music videos and again on his own TV reality show in 2009 called Hammertime.34
I refuse to even consider taking advice from anyone who says that you only need to keep 30 books.
I had more than that when I was 7. Really, a person’s home is – and should be – a very personal space, and Marie Kondo has no idea what anyone else needs in that space.
As to ‘sparking joy’ – I have a lot of things that don’t spark any real joy, but I’m not ditching the broom, mop, dust pan, washing machine, dryer, etc. They may not make me joyful, but they help keep the house clean.
Ever wonder if any of her followers have picked up a mop, said “no joy” and tossed it?

Hammer Pants were a designer’s attempt to find a convenient place to store snacks…
