Safe for the moment

The other day, me and my bud were discussing some GLBT event on campus and started getting silly. We tried to make fun of the stereotypical gay interior designer, but pretty quickly realized we couldn’t. Not that we had moral qualms or anything, but… well, here was a typical comment:

“Niiice. That…mauve… couch will go great with those… tourquoise…  drapes. And those… kelly green… vases will, um…umm…tickle-me-pink!”

I realized that was literally my entire vocabulary for color synonyms. Without a thesaurus or box of crayons in hand, I don’t think I can even go through the entire rainbow, much less envision a cool-colored living room accented with warm decor. Hell, I don’t even know what I just said. I think it involves something with the thermostat or somthing.

What sort of magic do they posses to make bunk beds so alluring?

Interior designers 1, me 0.

    Fushia has more of purple-y look. Hot pink and fushia is kind of hot pink and hot purple. In case you actually wanted to know…
