[Nfb-krafters-korner] speaking of color

[qubit]

Actually, colors are funny -- sometimes if the design is right, otherwise 
strange color combinations can look good.  For example, I have an old jacket 
that I have worn quite a lot, it is one of my favorites, and it has a design 
that includes pumpkin orange, purple, teal, yellow, fuchsia, black  and 
white.  It's the way they all fit into the pattern. It just works.  But I 
would never select those colors to wear as mixed solids.

One thing about Michelle Obama that I started out being a little 
uncomfortable with is that she wears clothes that are a little revealing --  
off one shoulder and over the other so you see a lot of skin.  Granted she 
is a nice looking woman, but other first ladies have dressed much more 
conservatively, and I think the revealing clothes can convey the wrong 
message.  But that's just me.  I think in other respects she is doing a 
great job.  For one thing, I think her cause of battling childhood obesity 
is a great service.  I have heard some of the conservative talking heads 
bash her for her choice of a cause.  But I think she is absolutely right to 
address it.

Anyway, this is getting off topic.  Happy krafting.

That sounds disgusting even to me, and I have never seen.  It's even
more so since she's the wife of the president of the United States.
She should be a role model and show class and elligance as should any
leader or partner of one.  I guess some people don't understand the
phrases "dress appropriately" and "try to match".  Thank The Gods I'm
not an American patriot or I would be ashamed.  I personally am not
the type for dresses, preferring a suit and tie for formal occasions
and casual but presentable pants or shorts the rest of the time, but I
at least try to match my clothing, especially when going somewhere
important.  When in doubt, I go with black.
