Purples that I love

The idea is, you leave a comment here and I give you a color. Then you come up with 10 things you love that are that color and post them in your journal. If you want to, link to your answers here in the comments. It been done before, but comes back around every now and then.

[livejournal.com profile] gailmom gave me purple (wow, I'm surprised).

1. Deep purples in the sky just as it is becoming night

2. My well-worn and falling apart <purpleshirt> sweatshirt

3. The purple flowers that grow near the bus stop by the Arboretum

4. The barks of the trees in this van Gogh painting. You can't tell from the online image that they are purple, but they are. It's what caught my eye the first time I looked at it.

5. Purple icing.

6. Purple sex toys - my favorite vibrator and [livejournal.com profile] gailmom's Share come to mind.

7. My new maxi dress from Target that has a primarily purple pattern.

8. My desk chair

9. The Color Purple by Alice Walker. A touching book with a fairly decent movie adaptation.

10. The color itself. Ok, I know it's kind of a cop-out but I really just love purple. It has this really rich vibrancy that I can't seem to get enough of.

You are a mean poop. Burgundy is hard!

1. There were these beautiful wine/burgundy colored sheets I wanted, but the thread count was too low for my princess self. Still, just beautiful.
2. Burgundy as a part of a fall or winter wedding color scheme.
3. This burgundy shirt I have that is uber slutty but pretty cute.
4. Burgundy street. Yes, pronounced differently, but whatever. Often parking there when there isn't parking other places. Mostly due to the side of the quarter it is on.
5. Burgundy textiles in a Victorian styled house.
6. Wine that has a lovely burgundy color to it.
7. Burgundy nail polish.
8. Burgundy lipstick (given the right occasion, of course.)
9. Burgundy velvet goth clothes.
10. And last, but certainly not least, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. I'm Ron Burgundy?

I like that #s 6 and 10 both have vibrancy. :D

What makes #7 a "maxi" dress? ::googles:: Oh, it's the opposite of "mini." I'd never heard that term before. Guess I'm not a target market. :)
