i just can’t get enough
Three entries in one day? Am I crazy?
My friend Casie asked me these questions in an attempt to figure out what her “style” is - she’s a designer and wants to create her own personal brand of smoove. I answered for her, and then she returned the favor! I thought her insights about me were really interesting, so here they are …
1. If you were to describe Me in five adjectives, what would they be?
I couldn’t do it in five. And since I made up this game, I pick six:
bold, jovial, artistic, dramatic, gregarious, affectionate
2. If I was a color or set of colors, what would they be?
Dark green, bright orange, and dark purple. Together they make a unique, daring statement that you can’t ignore and can’t stop looking at. They have echos of disco and early MTV, but the combination can be fresh and unmistakably in style when worn with confidence and without reservation. No matter what—these colors are always interesting.
3. If I were an abstract shape, would I be rounded or pointy? Tall or short? Thin or fat? (and no, that’s not a trick question.)
You would be curvy and more short than tall. And the shape would be covered in alternating stripes of vibrant colors. It would have many different “arms” that keep on branching out with endless beautiful colors. In fact, the shape is shaped kind of like a “funnel cake.” There is no middle, beginning or end—just swirls and swirls that go on forever.
4. Now pick a real shape (like rectangle, square, circle, oval, diamond, rhombus, your choice ; ).)
You would be a classic circle yellow smiley face.
5. If I was a texture, what kind of texture would I be? (as in like; wet cardboard, cotton, a shiny metal surface, puff paint on a sweatshirt, scotch tape, etc.)
One of those dark red, soft velvet seat covers you sit on in nice theaters. You know the ones I mean? They’re smooshy and fun to feel?
6. If I was a food, what kind of food would I be?
A dill pickle. They’re the best part of a hamburger and the thing everyone stares at in wonder at sandwich shops. I used to eat entire jars of dill pickles. Not your typical snack, but festive, and so much fun to eat!
Questions? Comments? Concerns? Snide remarks? Your opinion matters!
weeeeeerrrd. I used to call the P-E-B Pickle because it’s fun to say, and he called me cactus. He said “because you are lovely and eternal but very hard to hold”
Barta. if you were a food, I think you’d be a key lime pie.
Gilly - hey, I didn’t even think of that! It must be universal. There’s something inherently picklesque about me. (I hope it’s not the warty green smelling of vinegar part.)
How interesting that you bring up pickles. I just recently watched the Good Eats show on pickling.
Personally, pickles always struck me as slightly sassy more than anything else…which fits you just as well as festive does. (=
I think a yellow smiley is too NORMAL for you, alicia……maybe a fuschia one.
Pickle!
(Everyone thinks so.)
