I couldn’t resist this weeks queries about our fashion choice in color. Darkness is all colors as I discovered far back in Highschool art class as I mixed all the colors together into one cup then proceeded to paint my black masterpiece. 'Punk black bear in a coal mine.'
”I fell in love with Black; it contained all colors, it wasn’t a negation of color... Black is the most aristocratic color of all... You can be quiet, and it contains the whole thing.” ~ Louise Nevelson
“Black birds tend to like shiny things.” ~ The Bloody Raven.
Answering @ifarmgirl's first question.
What is the most dominant color in your wardrobe/closet? Was it a conscious choice, or did it just turn out that way over time? Feel free to give us a sneak peek!

I can almost hear Danny, "You could use a little more color in your life Kerris."
“Without black, no color has any depth. But if you mix black with everything, suddenly there’s shadow – no, not just shadow, but fullness. You’ve got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that’s real” ~ Amy Grant, singer.
The origins of my favorite shade of dark. The less brilliant high-school students tend to have their own identity wearing something black that often went with the silvery punk spikes. We were proud of being our misfit group of academic outcasts. Most of us were more talented in the performing, visual, musical and literary arts rather than the classic Reading, Riting and Rithmatic disciplines. Besides, it's safer to rebel in numbers.
"Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy—but mysterious. But above all, black says this: I don’t bother you—don’t bother me." ~ Yohji Yamamoto
I do have two outfits that are mostly red; A vintage 1950s styled Valentine dress and a Chinese silk Cheongsam. And I can admit here, and only here, to my Hive brothers and sisters having a few light black and white summer outfits that say Black-ish attitude without feeling too overheated under the scorching sun.
“...psychology says people who love black color have the most colorful minds.” ~ The Mind Journal.
Shoes? All black, some with red accented like the my Demonia platform Mary Janes. And this is only the tip of the shoes & boots iceberg.
”Black is such a happy color darling." ~ Morticia Addams
"I wore black because I liked it. I still do and wearing it still means something to me. It’s still my symbol of rebellion—against a stagnant status quo, against our hypocritical houses of God, against people whose minds are closed to others’ ideas."
~ Johnny Cash, Canadian Country singer.
And as for our Judge's second question.
Would you consider remarrying or having another partner if you are a 71-year-old widow/widower? Why or why not?
I did try on a wedding dress at a Thrift shop just for curiosity sake and stared at a mirror.
Too much white!
Clashes with black lipstick.
I get too much attention.
Then I though about Danny.
He was 69, much older than I thought.
And that didn't matter in my heart.😭
Oh Danny! I'll leave this hanging here.
I don't think I'm quite over him yet.
And by the way, it's Hive Power up day.
Powering up... 🤔 200 HP!
Stacking Precious metals and Crypto for those dark stormy days!
