Yeah, I'm a big nerd but I work hard at creating such catchy titles....So, was thinking today about the nature of red, how it makes me feel and how it is seen as a symbol. Stop sign or warning sign is one of them. Heard from a parent the other day that their child's school has stopped using red pen to mark school work because it 'has negative connotations', seriously? You need a little fear at school anyway, bring it back I say!...maybe that's why I got fixated on it....No, probably more because it invokes passion, lust and devilish behaviour, and trust me there were absolutely no high school teacher crushes involved in that decision! Filthy minds you have.
Chinese see red as a symbol of luck, good fortune, happiness and prosperity. It is used as a traditional wedding gown and to wrap New Years gifts in, very apt for this time of year. Plus my birthday this week....red gifts are most welcome. To see what can be wrapped up in a silky red ribbon check out my Wishlist - Link on the sidebar.
