Honeysuckle Optiput

Get ready y'all.
The 2011 color of the year is here.
Pretty soon this color choice will be saturating markets of every description.

 Leatrice Eiseman, of  the Pantone Color Institute, made this beserk statement:
" In times of stress we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle Pink is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going, perfect to ward off the blues"





Excuse me Leatrice,
I think adrenaline release is the body's response to stress and you want to stimulate more of this?

Okay then, honeysuckle it is .

Of the collection shown here,
my favorite is the take out carton.
I hope it is biodegradeable.
If not we will see the landfills from space.






I wonder if Leatrice  has one of those skin tones which glows when accented by Honeysuckle Pink?
I do not. I can don that color and  be instantly transformed into the Queen of splotch.  And for those who have bright olive complexions? Well, jaudice will be their new "in" look.

I read this will be THE bridesmaid color for 2011.

Poor girls.

They will have to make a new movie,     
"The 28th Dress" .
It will be a horror movie.

 Everyone knows the thing teens and tweens need most in this world is more stimulation. Right, a little more adrenalin activated excitement.
To go with this rash of "must haves" in pink
Visa is on board
with the introduction of the newest Honeysuckle Pink credit card.
Are you feeling inspired yet? Stimulated to spend on the trend?

See those hip slung skinny legged jeans?
The reality coming to a future near you is:

Very round teens
In tight pink jeans
Oozin out  from above
Showing  tattoo love
Allover their pink extremes!





Yeah, we are all looking forward to this Leatrice.






                                             Worse things are coming!
 

The last appointment  of FishyDesigns with a StepfordBarbie desiring a "lipstick pink" bedroom with a curtained bed alcove with mirrored ceiling was in the 1980's.  I declined her custom.

This room is beautifully designed, with good  balance of scale, light, textures. But honestly
do you not expect to see Doris Day in there too? I feel kind of sorry for the poodles which will be dyed to match.

Next week, I am off to Market.  I have a bit of anxiety that I will be trapped in packed elevators and showrooms with buyers exhibiting adrenalin stress overloads from the assault of Honeysuckle Pink
in every corner of the massive market buildings. I will endure company reps in a state of mania from spending a week encapsulated in Pepto Bismol Pink as they again and again guide people to view every conceivable object in this intense color .

O.M.G.

 Seriously.
Does even one of you know a single human who would willing occupy this pink on pink on pink room?

 Pink Lemonade Honeysuckle
Is a beautiful , sweet smelling, bee happy flower.

 For every Spring of my life I can remember,
I look forward to that very first whiff of Honeysuckle. I have adored Honeysuckle as an attraction for birds to my gardens. I've loved the smell , the look, the introduction of a fine season to be.





Never once did I think it should take over my life.
