I can dimiss that entire list. In the source I clicked on "noir" (thinking there might be wit involved) and found an article on The Blair Witch Project! Noir, not.

I've been wearing black for decades. It's a San Francisco thing.

So, the old saying:

The pot calling the kettle black,.. means it's really pink? :confused: :D

Abby, black goes with smoking. I mean, a woman should not wear pink or yellow and think anyone's gonna light her fag. P.

Is that a hint? :(

I have one with a strap on, me dressed in a black suit, suiting to this thread, of course the dildo needs to have been held more erectly. I will talk to my personal computer geek and see if she can re-size it. Not literally of course ;)

P, I couldn't agree more.
It has to be black. Like you, I've been wearing black for years. My favourite non-colour.

Makes me feel very slightly bohemian. Then someone makes me giggle with a stupid joke, and the suave, sophisticate flies right out the window.

But I keep trying.

Amen and halelujiah you'd be surprised how much I hear it in a day.

" First Red was the new black
then pink was the new black which I suppose really made it the new red now maroon is rumored to be the new black
but my bets are on orange but hey black is the new red."

People actually say things to me like that, meanwhile I'm fantasizing being thrown from the design house meeting in some freak seat ejecting accident which I come through unscathed.
