Savage Saffron is so much more than a condiment to spice up the rice. He is fearless and courageous, bold and unwavering in his resolve, but more importantly, he is truly authentic, a one-of-a-kind maverick whose influence on modern popular culture is quite...
Remarks on Color: Savage Saffron
Remark’s on Color: Denouement Daffodil February's Hue
Denouement Daffodil is a real downer and the first person to leave the party, proffering reasons like “I must go home and feed my guppies,” or “I can’t concentrate because my nose hairs are making me sneeze.” Always quick to wrap things up and never one for a winded...
Remarks on Color: Resolute Red January's Hue
It’s that time of year again, when the mistletoe has wilted and bedraggled Christmas trees line the city streets, slumped against dumpsters like drunken sailors. It’s that time of year when Resolute Red makes BIG plans, none of which will ever be realized, but it’s...
Remarks on Color: Perspicacious Periwinkle December's Hue
Perspicacious Periwinkle is an avid reader of The Tarot, having once predicted the sudden death of the world’s oldest rhinoceros in Zambia, and a cataclysmic wind event that no one witnessed off the Cape of Good Hope. It is safe to say that PP as she calls herself on...
Remarks on Color: Insouciant Indigo November's Hue
Insouciant Indigo doesn’t care. In other words, he simply does not give a rat’s ass about anything or anybody. A lifetime of ever darkening dreams has laid him low once and for all. To add insult to injury he’s never been popular with the ladies, being mostly...
Remarks on Color: Weird-Ass White October's Hue
Weird-Ass White has a secret death wish, a deep and unwavering desire to fall headlong into the arms of night with its ever-widening black mouth swallowing her alive, but being the good girl that she is, she never lets on. Instead, the world at large swallows her...
Remarks on Color: Mischievous Mustard September's Hue
Mischievous Mustard often shows up where he’s not wanted—on T-shirts and dress slacks, in the car (like the time Joe Morrison ate a hot dog for breakfast on his way to work and dropped it on his brand new leather seats), at the corners of Virginia Ramona’s mouth...
Remarks on Color: Iguana Green August's Hue
Iguana Green went traipsing thru the undergrowth, the stub of a burned-out cigarette hanging from the side of her mouth and a bottle of Jack tied to her tail. It had been a difficult week in the verdant jungles of Southern Brazil. Just a few weeks prior she’d been...
Remarks on Color: Rambunctious Rojo July's Hue
Rambunctious Rojo, or simply, “Big Red” as she is known in more conspicuous circles, has taken to the open road in search of LOVE – not just any old love, but the kind of love that electrifies the blood – brooding, elliptical, soaring, wild and unbidden. Rambunctious...
Remarks on Color: Hallelujah Hot Pink! June's Hue
Hallelujah! The queen of everything has finally arrived! Never before has the church social been abuzz with so much excitement and activity, and this year Hallelujah Hot Pink is in charge of the punch bowl, which she repeatedly spiked with Cristalino Tequila when no...
Remarks on Color: Ukrainian Blue and Gold May's Hue
Collectively, we are so much more than colors. We are the beating, impregnable heart of our country – now brought to our knees in the fetid air, on the bloodied streets, yet if you look up, we are the cerulean sky and the golden amulet of the sun. Now we flee in dirty...
Remarks on Color: Raven’s Tail Black April's Hue
As famous architect Mies van der Rohe once said, “God is in the details!” So, when Raven’s Tail Black overheard a conversation between two unassuming strangers, describing her alternately as “Coal Black,” “Carbon Black,” “Midnight Black,” and by far the most...

Remarks on Color: Lounging Lavender March's Hue
Lounging Lavender, or simply L.L. as she is known in the “hood,” which isn’t really the “hood” at all, but more like a dilapidated garden for displaced and aging shrubs, begins her day with a daily routine of sun beams and purified water. To say she lives a life a...
Remarks on Color: Mourning Dove Brown February's Hue
Imagine existing between two worlds, neither here nor there, neither one thing nor another, brown, then pink, then a shimmering iridescent green. Life is very confusing for Mourning Dove Brown, as she is continuously changing color depending on the light, the time of...
Remarks on Color: Recalcitrant Red January's Hue
Recalcitrant Red has gone on strike once and for all, having shirked his usual duties which include the setting of campfires, blood drives, Naugahyde sex parties, riots and any activity where the devil is set to make an appearance. Recalcitrant Red has turned his back...
Remarks on Color: Cringing Cucumber December's Hue
Cucumber is so much more than a tea-time British delicacy, served on white bread with loads of butter, yet Americans cringe at the thought! Cringing Cucumber, as she is known in the States, decided to open a specialty shop in the heart of Manhattan, serving all manner...
Remarks on Color: Timid White and Bruised Sand: A Conversation Remarks on Color
Considering the world today, it’s no wonder you’ve begun to peel, to pull away from your respective homes, to hide from the tremors, quakes and quick-sands of the living world. We are all guilty of something. We have all fallen under at some time or other, curling in...
