Ali-Kat

I am color obsessed… On the subject of pink. Although I admire Emily’s dedication to pink, I loathe the color (but not on her, my mother, or Krusteen of course). As a child I was dressed in pink most of the time, and quite frankly it just doesn’t go with my red hair or pasty skin. I have sworn off pink for life, including for my offspring, no matter the sex. I told my college best friend that she would know I was truly mad at her if she ever received anything pink from me in the mail. So what did she do? She showed up at my wedding shower with a pink balloon bouquet. Well played Jen, well played!My obsession extends beyond pink however. I refuse, on principle, to allow the color of my car, or paint and accessories in my house, to clash with my red hair and pasty skin. I look bad enough under the fluorescents and color choices in public places. I even go so far as selecting game pieces that match me best. And I own many orange articles of clothing because no one wears orange better than I do.In high school, I was teased mercilessly by Phil and an old boyfriend for knowing all the names of the various shades of green. For a long time they mocked me about “Candy Apple Green”. I also keep my hanging clothes organized according to the rainbow (you know, ROYGBIV) so that I don’t have to think too hard about matching in the morning.
