Red's the New Gun Metal
Corporations have decided that we like red product. So fess up. The crazy heady days of coke in the 80's and any retro throw backs to these days are now officially over- gun metal is over and most certainly, so is black.
Oddly, I was visited by a painter this evening who came by to estimate the work to our apartment. At one point during his assessment of the walls and the very eclectic color scheme, he stood and pondered the infamous red wall in the living room.
Hi words were the following: you did it, you made it work, now move past it. Without this gay snooty queen, I don't think I would have fessed up, and moved on- I owned the red wall, paid for it and cashed in for a chance at something better.
So, despite my cravings for red nanos that are politically correct and gap product that continues to be a uniform for my generation, I find myself moving on because red has become fashionable again.
So I'm cozying up a glacial direction with maybe some yellow for warmth.
The painter also mentioned that Alexis and I could think of the colors of places we've been or want to go to...we both flashed and shouted in unison: "the glacier"- so RED is out this year, been there- done that.
Hey, the last time I had smoked almonds, I was on a glacier, just thought I'd mention that.
