Is it just me, or do those pink bamboo bracelets look like a bony skeleton hand has a death grip on her forearm?

I must say these colors do appeal to me more than the darker reds of the 50's era.

DICK PINK!

Hee..."blasé apricot" for the unintentionally hilarious win. Somebody must have gotten a thesaurus for Christmas that year!

Not just you! Took me a moment to figure out what that was.

I always puzzled over Blasé Apricot when I saw it in the drugstore! Other lipstick colors have adjectives all about passion or romance or allure, and then....blasé. Why? Why would you want to imply boredom, unconcern, indifference? It will never make sense to me.

I really really want to see blasé apricot as an animated character.

But it's French! That means it has to be exotic and alluring!

Low down pink is probably my favorite shade (isn't that code for "secret lesbians"?) but I love nouveau peach.

You're thinking of "down-low pink".

Totally! Gives the whole ad a scary subtext.

I didn't even notice she had bracelets, but now, EEEEK.

If you think these color names are reaching, take a look at the names on the current OPI (http://www.opi.com/) sets.
