In a stunning revelation that has left fans and scientists alike baffled, beloved local celebrity Glenda Glitterpants announced yesterday that she possesses the extraordinary ability to fly – but only on Tuesdays, and only when wearing polka-dot socks.

"I’ve kept this secret for years," Glenda confessed during a live Instagram stream, as a small flock of confused pigeons circled overhead. "People always ask me how I stay on top of the entertainment world. The truth is, I just take flight. Literally. Mondays are for prep, Tuesdays are for takeoff, and the rest of the week I’m strictly terrestrial."

Her agent, Bob "Boatswain" Jenkins, attempted to clarify the situation, stating, "We’re still working out the logistics. The insurance company is baffled, the airline industry is jealous, and the sock manufacturers have started a special line called ‘Flightworthy Footwear.’"

Meanwhile, fictional neighbor and amateur flying enthusiast Barney Flapjack expressed cautious optimism: "I always suspected Glenda had something special. Last Tuesday, I swear I saw her hover over my garden gnome. Now I’m thinking I need to invest in a helmet."

In what experts are calling the most bizarre celebrity announcement since the Great Selfie Stick Scandal of 2017, Glenda's confession has sparked an immediate surge in polka-dot sock sales and a new hashtag, #FlyOnTuesdays. Whether this marks the dawn of a new superhero era or just a really elaborate publicity stunt remains to be seen. For now, fans are advised to look up in the sky every Tuesday afternoon – but bring your own snacks, since Glenda insists flying doesn’t come with complimentary peanuts.
