she came up with the design herself.  I am so proud it her and it.

Michel Pastoureau is a very entertaining writer, but tends to be a  
bit how shall I say this flamboyant? about some of what he  
says. I have a couple of his books, including _Blue: The History of a  
Color_ and right at the very beginning it contains some passages that  
appear to demonstrate that he either is not aware of, or is  
deliberately ignoring, some of the significant research on the  
cognitive history of color concepts (or so says the scholar who gave  
it to me).

I went to work as a Goth! I used an old Gunne Saxe dress I don't remember
how I got, it's been waiting in the costume closet for a good 10 years, I
bought a decent-quality wig, lots of makeup... I was expecting comments such as
"That's different", or "it really changes you"... what I
got were "Wow, you're beautiful!". Maybe I should become a Goth
for real ;-)

Last Saturday we had a party, where we had to dress as movie characters. We
dressed as Shaun of the Dead. My bf was Shaun, and I was a zombie. Great fun
there too! It's weird how it scares people when you were weird colour
contact lenses.
