D'you like it? It's 'McDonald's arches gold'!

Hey gang! What's up?

Weather's cray on my end in Toronto, weather's cray on the guys' end in St. Catharines. Love to our family and friends who are being rained upon, flooded out, blown around and generally bothered by this wrath of Mama Nature.

I was cruising Pinterest tonight like a stereotypical female in her mid (to late) 20s on a Monday, watching Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho with my roomie, and I was reminded of this, for approximately the kwillionth time.

 Recognize this colour?
Tiffany Blue? Robin's egg blue? Sky-unaffected-by-hurricane-Sandy blue? 

Fellow facebook friends, pinners and valued members of our brand-obsessed society, this is our friend turquoise. Your preferred wedding colour scheme or accent on a plethora of non-Tiffany made accessories is turquoise. There's nothing wrong with that, either! It will look lovely with your gowns, tuxes, et cetera, and everyone will tell you what a lovely party planner you are. Heck, it looks great with the rhinestones on the watch you bought at that weird convenience store that also cuts keys and has those weird birdcages with the bird robots inside of them. But it's turquoise.

Not too far from seafoam green, and just down the road from teal. I'm just trying to change the world in big ways that matter, one irksome misnomer at a time.

Lurv,
Chomps
