Easy!  All of 'em!  That's her trademark, like Hitchcock's trademark
of a brief non-verbal walk-on, or Russ Meyer's trademark of women
with Very Large Breasts.  Admittedly, you can't SEE the glitter/snow
in a lot of the videos, but the stagehands were throwing it around
backstage, and "It really looked marvelous, even though you couldn't
see it on camera.  It leant such a festive mood." (From an interview
in Trouser Press last year)

Geez, a LOT of my "unofficial" KT videos have snow, but I don't think
it's the type you're talking about...

- Stev0 the amazingly accurate

"Oh, and did I tell you I'm DEFINATELY going to tour in '95?"
