Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:At first I thought this was a typo, then I read your description, Sue! You’re so funny!!! ROTFLOL
Great combo of gorgeous, masculine colors for our demure GGP lady to surround herself with!
On Jul 02, 2009 at 5:54 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I’m glad you got it! Men’s jewelry can be so difficult! Thanks!
On Jul 02, 2009 at 5:54 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Ever noticed that a man’s favorite color is blue? just ask one!
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:09 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:You are so right on both comments, Sue! LOL
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:10 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Maybe men can only see the color blue and everything in the world appears to them in varying shades of blue……. Hmmmmmmm
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:18 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Interesting thought! i’ll bet you dinner that Bob tells you it’s his favorite color!
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:21 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Which Bob? ROTFLOL
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:27 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I already know my Bob chooses blue…scared to take the challenge?
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:34 pm #
Wemai Coffee Chick says:This was funny!!!
Good that my pick could inspire!! BTW that Magic Agate, how is it?? Talking color….my husband likes only black…like one of his heroes: The Man in Black! LOL
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:35 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Mine will say blue also! You’re on, Sue!
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:35 pm #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:He will say that his second favorite color is yellow.
On Jul 02, 2009 at 6:45 pm #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Great pick!!!!!!
My ex would say RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was his favorite color 28 years ago, and it’s still his favorite color. He does look good in it…
On Jul 02, 2009 at 7:36 pm #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:This is getting interesting! Wenche, I picked black just for your man – and, i don’t know about the magic agate; found it by accident, but it looks pretty neat!
Bob’s second fav color is sage green – Chicky D, I find it amazing that your ex would say red! Anyone else want to play? Inquiring minds want to know – what is your man’s favorite color??
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:24 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, I have a confession to make. After 34 years of marriage plus 2 years of dating, it would appear that I do not know Bob at all! LOL When he came home tonight (he was out of town), I asked him to tell me his favorite color. Of course, he looked puzzled, so I told him we were guessing what our guy’s faves are. I didn’t tell him anyone’s answers. I said just tell me your fave color. He thought for a couple of seconds and answered “yellow.” Well, I guess I kind of know him, because I told you that would be his second fave color. So, in an effort to prove that I had just reversed his top two choices in my mind, I asked him what his second fave color is and he said “red.” So now I’m thinking “Who are you and where is my real husband?” ROTFLOL So I asked him what his third fave color is. He just stared at me and finally said “I guess it would be blue.” Then I told him the whole story. We both laughed and he said it was close between red and blue for second place. Men — can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em.

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I almost forgot — Sue, I owe you dinner the next time we are together!!! If Tad tags along, he has to pay for his own meal! ROTFLOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:29 am #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:It’s my theory that men’s favorite color is red then blue or green (all dark and saturated). It is my experience that women’s (especially young women) favorite color is blue, baby or sky, fallowed by purple. That’s what I think!
LOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:30 am #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:in general!
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:34 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Lynn, I owe you dinner! He said yellow??? Wow, i’m getting a whole new insight to guys…Chicky Cat, I think you’re right that guys pick saturated colors and women lean towards pastels, but I think by all of our picks that beaders prefer them all! LOL!
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:35 am #
Kitty Chicky Cat says:True! So long as it’s the color of a rock we love it! lol
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:37 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:What really cracked me up is that if you looked at his collection of shirts, the majority are some shade of blue, then some shade of yellow, a few with greens, and 2 red!!! LOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:39 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Sue, I thought you meant that if I was wrong, I would have to buy you dinner! LOL Well, either way we’ll have a blast!!!
And I’m still not paying for Tad……
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:40 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Hmmmm…when I met Bob, the only colors I ever saw him in were blue and black – black t-shirt and blue jeans!

ChickyD aka Debra says:Cleve wears a lot of blue, but he accents it with red. He wears a lot of red, too. It’s really funny. The girls gave me money for my birthday to replace my 15-year-old down coat. Kimberly emailed me some suggestions from Lands End. I bought an olive one in the end but told Kimberly how disappointed I was that they didn’t have red. She said, “What IS it with both Papa and you and RED? He wanted a RED coat, too.” Well, it is a nice cheery color for a winter coat. But it’s also Cleve’s favorite color. Always has been.
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:48 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:I think guys look sharp in red – i just see it so seldom! Maybe it’s a regional thing! But I’m with you, Chicky D, red is my favorite color! Even my kitchen is red!
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:52 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:It’s funny — Bob has dark brown hair (graying now) and I’ve thought he looked really good in red, but he would say he didn’t think so. That’s why I was so surprised when red came in at #2!!! LOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:52 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:I love red, but I when I make jewelry or buy summer tops, it’s always aqua or turquoise or sea foam. I just love colors that remind me of the sea!
I used to dress my middle child in red all the time because she’s a blond, and I think blonds look fabulous in red.
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:56 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Cleve has olive skin and had black hair. It’s premature gray/white now.
You know, this is really OFF TOPIC, but the American purple shell rondelles are in the BGBM. Just thought I’d let y’all know.
I’ve added another mermaid connector to my cart… Like I NEED it….
On Jul 03, 2009 at 12:59 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:Lynn, I think all guys look good in red! you tell Bob i said so! Chicky D, i’m with you on buying clothes or wearing jewelry – I lean towards the soft blues and turquoise.
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:00 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:OK, I just clicked over to the BGBM and there is nothing there that even remotely resembles an American purple shell rondelle. LOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:01 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I love soft blues and turquoise!!!! We could all go away together and share one wardrobe. Well, at least the jewelry!!! LOL
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:01 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:Well, imagine that???????!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anything cool on your own personal BGBM?
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:02 am #
Cotopaxi Chickie Sue says:likewise – Lynn, we are too slow – no purple shell rondelle on the BGBM!
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:02 am #
ChickyD aka Debra says:It’s still on mine.
On Jul 03, 2009 at 1:04 am #
Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:OK, I have no purple shell rondelle and no green moonstone. I want the Texas version of the BGBM!!!!!! LOL
