June 27, 2021 - COTW

For today's COTW post, I decided to go a bit more subdued. This color is called "Vintage Turquoise":

The complementary color is called rose gold. Both of these colors are much duller than I normally go with, but they are really pretty anyways.

Complementary color palette of 6DB6AD. Complementary color is B66D76

I actually happen to have a sweatshirt in this color but I can't find a picture of it... (I got it at Kohl's)

These COTW posts are basically me documenting my rabbit holes, but it's fun anyways:

( i'm getting this info from wikipedia, not copy and paste-ing)

So, apparently "vintage" is a wine term? I don't drink wine (i'm 11. duh)  so I'm not particularly interested in this...

Found it! Vintage is basically the style of old stuff, mostly about 2 generations old, normally used in reference to design, interiors, and clothes (thank god it's not a style of FOOD) .

Vintage is especially popular in fashion. The dress below is available on Amazon for $29.99


It's a dress in the a style of a 1950s cocktail dress. This is the vintage style, whereas the dress below is actually vintage:

sorry i couldn't make it smaller

This looks like something a relatively upper-class cocktail dress, right? It's also a 1950's style. Notice the difference between the two. The amazon one is less detailed and much simpler. The 1950's cocktail dress has a lot of little beading if you look closely. The style is much more pleated, and it looks much less machine-made. If looking for vintage, take to the google!

 I remember mentioning that Lela's greatest fear is CHALK . Why? That's exactly what I'm about to explain: Lela is normally pretty tough. It takes a lot to rattle her. And she has never forgotten a dance. She executes all the moves flawlessly, remembers everything, and she's one of the best ballet dancers in the Town. She has forgotten her dance once, though. The was 9, and in the Sunny Smiles Dance Company Winter Performance. They were doing a special version Waltz of the Snowflakes scene from the Nutcracker, and Lela had been cast as a new addition to the scene, the Snow Queen. All the snowflakes fawned over her as they all danced around the stage. She was thrilled. Then came the night of the performance. She came out just a bit late, and didn't do her best performance. Her spins were wobbly, her arms bent when they weren't supposed to be, nothing was going right. And then it got worse. You see, SSDC had the brilliant idea of using chalk as snow, instead of pa...

 I made this really cool rebus. Try to figure it outon your own then you an check it using my explanation below: (🐋 -al +n )   (l+  🧊 c = f  ) (5 5 5   f = g) ( ♂ -bo   +ou)    ( 🍋+s) ,  (🎂c = m)   (🦵 -g +m/a + de) ! whoo! This one is tricky.  let's start with the first group/word;  🐋 -al +n whale - al = whe whe + n = when l+  🧊  c = f l + ice = lice lice (c = f) life 5 5 5 = fives fives (f = g) gives ♂ -bo   +ou boy - bo = y y + ou = you 🍋+s = lemons     🎂 = cake (c = m) make     🦵 -g +m/a + de leg - g = le m/a = m on a = moa le + mona + de = lemonade Translation: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! Funny spin-offs: When life gives you lemons, keep them, because, hey - free lemons! When life gives you lemons, squirt someone in the eye. When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it. When life hands you lemon...
