Éclat

é-clat ('clt)

adjective
1. Fame and/or success through achievement and/or effort.
As of last night, I am an éclat amateur novelist, having completed my first draft of my first novel!
2. Conspicuous success.
My night was full of éclat celebrations because my best friend got his film in a local film festival and the band we went to see won an M award, whatever that is, but... YAY!
3. The archaic definition of this word is scandalous notoriety.
I think all of the éclat celebrators secretly hope for a little of that in the future... *wink-wink, nudge-nudge*

Synonyms: acclaim, celebrity, distinction, fame, glory, honour, kudos, luster, mark, note, notoriety, preeminence, prestige, prominence, successful, winning!

* I've noticed that I don't listen to a lot of celebratory music, but felt a need to include something, so here's Celebration Guns by the Stars.
