I admit it, I admit it, I was just too fried on Friday to post ANYTHING, so here's a little one for Friday...I hate...
The color orange. Orange is just such a garish color. When one thinks of orange it conjures up images of parking cones, construction signs, ugly safety jackets, life vests, and orange prison jumpsuits; none of which are chic, fun, or even soothing. Who wants to wear a color that reminds them of what convicts are forced to wear in jail? I certainly don't. The pretty orange California Poppy might have saved the color, but you can't even pick it, it's illegal! Oranges are orange, and though they are a yummy fruit, I absolutely HATE peeling them because they get all that oily orange crud all over your hands, and has anyone checked the sugar content of orange juice lately? It's through the roof! Isn't juice supposed to be both tasty and healthy? See, even orange fruits make some mighty tricky juice. Carrots are orange, and those are crunchy and make a great snack, but you have to peal them with a special tool and eat too many and you'll actually turn the color orange, like a perma prison jumpsuit. Pumpkins are orange, and how delicious is pumpkin soup and pumpkin bread? Mmmmm. But then again, there's so much preparation required to turn that pumpkin into delicious soup that I avoid it all but maybe once per year. Finally, we have only to look at Lindsay Lohan to know how awful those spray-on tans make people look: oompa loompa style orange skin isn't flattering on ANYONE, not even Lindsay and her (most likely fake) boobies.
Since I can't think of anything orange that I truly L-O-V-E, I will tell you what color I do love...
I love...
The color PINK! I really can't explain to you how much I love the color pink. Pretty much, if it's pink, I will like it. Just take this gorgeous pink peony pictured above; it's so pretty that I could just gaze at it all day. When there are pink flowers in the house I sometimes find myself staring at them and heaving a great smiley sigh because they just make me THAT happy. Pink clothes are fun and flirty, pink sunsets are magical, pink watermelon tastes probably how the clouds in heaven taste, pink bicycles make me giggle and want to ride around the neighborhood like a school girl, and rosy pink flushed cheeks mean I have just been on a long and glorious run, been kissed by my sweetheart, or just frolicked in the ocean waves in summer. Even the best cottage cheese in the world (Knudsen's lowfat cottage cheese) has a pink label! Pink, pink, pink! It's such a fun and happy color, how can you help but absolutely love it?!
