"Today of all days we focus on loving one another and giving. Let's do that. Not just one day of the year, but for 365 days... Let's love one another. Let's forget hatred and turn to those that are suffering. Not just today, but every day. Join me in healing the world and making it a better place. Thank you."
--- Michael Jackson, December 1992

Red Is Your Glory

Red is your glory

I see you

How can you be insecure and confused

When your presence is sheer beauty

I can see within you

True charisma

Depth knowledge and grace

I want to pull out what is in you

For the world to see

Are they blind

Do they ignore a stunning sunset

Beauty is not skin deep

You are permeated by loveliness

I can show you the center

You grab me by the heart

With ancient wisdom and tentative life

I can show you radiant vistas

That emerge from your soul

Feel life in your veins

Forget the future and reinvent the past

What is this planet

Full of greed and corruption

I hear your voice and have faith in your will

Let me show you possibility

Do not listen to the angry crowd

Feel your heart and trust it

It will show you the way

I want to destroy the sadness

That lives in your world

---Chris Steven Young

       Just found this interesting Bill Blass quote which states 

 “Red is the ultimate cure for sadness.” 

Interesting, isn't it?  Think I could agree to it, but only partly, because isn't it LOVE the absolute source of joy?  Oh no!  take that back please,  I stand corrected, it's MJ! :)

 "Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness, 

Ease my troubles, that's what you do ..."

This Week's Theme: RED and MJ

What is Red?

Red is a sunset
Blazing and bright.
Red is feeling brave
With all your might.
Red is a sunburn
A spot on your nose.
Sometimes red, is a red red rose.
Red squiggles out when you cut your hand.
Red is a brick 
And the sounds of a band.
Red is hotness
You get inside
When you’re embarrassed
And want to hide.
Fire-cracker, fire-engine
Fire-flicker red – 
And when you’re angry
Red runs through your head.

Red is an Indian
A Valentine heart,
The trimmings on  
A circus cart.
Red is a lipstick
Red is a shout
Red is a signal
That says, “Watch out!”
Red is a great big 
Rubber ball.
Red is the giant-est
Colour of all.
Red is a show-off,
No doubt about it – 
But can you imagine
Living without it?

-author unknown-

"Have I told you lately that I love you?
Have I told you there's no one else above you?
Fill my heart with gladness, take away all my sadness,
Ease my troubles, that's what you do ..."

All About  RED

Love and War:

Red is hot. It's a strong colour that conjures up a range of seemingly conflicting emotions from passionate love to violence and warfare. Red is Cupid and the Devil.

Nature of Red:

A stimulant, red is the hottest of the warm colours. Studies show that red can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure.

The expression seeing red indicates anger and may stem not only from the stimulus of the colour but from the natural flush (redness) of the cheeks, a physical reaction to anger, increased blood pressure, or physical exertion.

Culture of Red:

Red is power, hence the red power tie for business people and the red carpet for celebrities and VIPs (very important people).

Flashing red lights denote danger or emergency. Stop signs and stop lights are red to get the drivers' attention and alert them to the dangers of the intersection.

In some cultures, red denotes purity, joy, and celebration. Red is the color of happiness and prosperity in China and may be used to attract good luck.

Red is often the color worn by brides in the East while it is the color of mourning in South Africa. In Russia the Bolsheviks used a red flag when they overthrew the Tsar, thus red became associated with communism. Many national flags use red. The red Ruby is the traditional  40th wedding anniversary gift.

Using Red:

Use the colour red to grab attention and to get people to take action. Use red when you don't want to sink into the background. Use red to suggest speed combined with confidence and perhaps even a dash of danger. A little bit of red goes a long way. Small doses can often be more effective than large amounts of this strong color. Multiple shades of red and even pink or orange can combine for a cheerful palette.

Using Red with Other Colours:

Although not normally considered an ideal coupling, in combination with green, red is a Christmas colour — a joyful season.

Cool blues provide contrast and tone down the heat of red. Lightpinks and yellows are harmonizing colours that can work well with red if not too close in value such as dark red with a pale or golden yellow. Be careful using purple. It can be an elegant combination but too much could be overpowering.

Add a dash of red to a soft but sophisticated pink and gray combo. For some countries, including the US, red, white, and blue is a very patriotic trio even if the shades of red and blue differ from those used in the flag.

Language of Red:

The use of red in familiar phrases can help a designer see how their color of choice might be perceived by others — both the positive and negative aspects.

Good red

Red letter day - important or significant occasion

Red carpet treatment - make someone feel special, treat them as if they are a celebrity

Roll out the red carpet - same as above

Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning; red sky at night, sailor's delight - pay attention to good and bad warning signs

Paint the town red - celebrate, go out partying

Red eye - an overnight flight 

Bad red

Seeing red - to be angry

Red herring - something that deceives or distracts attention from the truth

In the red - being overdrawn at the bank or losing money

Red flag - denotes danger, warning, or an impending battle

Red Words: 

These words are synonymous with red or represent various shades of the colour red.

Scarlet, crimson, vermillion, carmine, maroon, burgundy, ruby, rose, madder, rouge, brick, blood red, blush, fire engine red, cinnabar, russet, rust, Venetian red, flame, Indian red, tomato.
