Gay but not gay

Remember when GAY was the new BLACK? Well now, it's turquoise. Seems very gay to me. This soothing blue/greenish tint is the color of the year according to Pantone, LLC who is apparently the world authority on color and decides such things.

But this whole deciding the "color of the year" thing facinates me though. How does Pantone choose the lucky one is? (BTW last year it was mimosa yellow. Also resembling a whole-lotta-gay since we homos love to brunch on the weekend and love mimosas!) Anyway, why is the color of the Carribean ocean "in" for 2010? Heinz has been using turquoise as the color of their Baked Beans cans since 1901. And of course Andy Warhol used the color in his iconic pop art when he painted Turquoise Marilyn and Turquoise Liz. Incidently Hugh Grant (notice the bluish/green tint on a lot of the boxes here) owned Turquoise Liz and sold it a year or so ago for some nice chump change. You can certainly find this vibrant hue on various porn boxes too like one of our favorite titles is Trunks 3. Hell you can even buy a leotard in the 2010 color of the year.

In the realm of fashion though, this bold and beautiful shade will certainly pop. It has been said that women can wear the the color as is, but men should go with a pale tone or one that has more blue in it. I say whatever to that. Gay men can wear whatever shade they want to! Why just today when I was getting my haircut, a cute little fag boy was rockin' bright turquoise pants and put some of the same color in his hair too. And our favorite singer/songwriter Aiden James just posted a pic of himself this morning on facebook wearing a turquoise kitty with lazer eyes. (He is soooo cute!) So in celebration of the 2010 Color of the Year, we are changing our logo... just for this post.
