Just read an article about what colours babies like. This could help with expecting parents to decide on what to paint the nursery, toys, clothes and furniture selection.Babies can distinguish colour from white at 2 months. They were able to detect blue and purple more than green, yellow and red.

Polychromic material news from tips-box. These materials are used in transition lenses. Scientists have been working on speeding up the process.

Gala Darling pointed me to Inside Grey Gardens - a slideshow by The New York Times.

Nothing you say or do is ever private - post from Environmental Graffiti about Project ECHELON. Reminds me of Alias.

|| Fashion in the City || Girls Night Out || Aurora Australis ||

Fashion in the city was a catwalk show in Centerplace and Downtown Plaza. Girls Night Out was a shopping event. The five of us went to Coyote for some food. I went home for an early night because of a test on Wednesday.

Frou Frou Fashionista is a luxury lingerie blog. The elegant intimates store Faire Frou Frou is a mother-daughter team based in Studio City California.

I would like to leave you with Aurora Australis images from Environmental Graffiti. The opportunity to see the Southern Lights is fast disappearing due to light pollution. These wistful and haunting images would be great backgrounds.

I made a palette from the photo by Paul Moss. The colours I chose were 'Aurora purpura, granne, castanea, nephritae' and 'gold sequin bright'. The first four were original meaning purple, green, chestnut and jade in Latin respectively. (I stuck to the scientific binomial nomenclature!)
