Fucksia, it's the new pink.

My best friend is getting married in March so we've been doing the standard shopping for bridal gowns,  bridesmaid dresses, yellow calla lillies... no white and pink tiger lillies (except they're not actually called tiger lillies, they're Persian lillies)... no back to yellow calla lillies... BLAH! 

Somehow she came across this online discount dress retailer, so I was browsing their bridesmaid dresses.  Anything to get out of spending $200 on a dress I will wear once.  Really, it doesn't matter when any bride says "we'll do this dress so you can wear it again," you're not going to wear it again.  It's a bridesmaid dress! 

She wants the dresses to be grey.  GREY!! Not light grey so you can get away with silver.  Dark ass gun metal grey.  Very difficult to find cute dresses in grey, but whatever. I'll get a cocktail dress so I can ACTUALLY wear it again. Ha Ha!

Whilst perusing the colors, looking for this shade of grey that apparently doesn't exist in the bridesmaid world, I come across this lovely organza fabric shade of pink, only they've aptly named it "Fucksia". SURELY this is a typo.  As it turns out, they also offer satin dresses in "Fucksia".  As well as chiffon, taffeta, and even "silk-like-satin." 

I wonder if I can convince her to change her color from thunderstorm-on-my-wedding-day grey to fucksia pink...

In retrospect, this should have been a big giant red flag.  Because she bought her damn wedding dress from them.  And it was wrong in so many ways.

Lesson: Don't buy things from websites that make up their own colors using colorful language.  Unless you just want to have a vulgar colored dress.  In which case I suggest Cunter green.  They don't have that one, but they should.  I might buy it.
