title: "Shingai Shoniwa’s socks" date: 2007-10-09 18:24 status: published tags: colours, socks, the Friday Fetch-it

<p>
I just noticed how similar the colour scheme at <a href="/thefridayfetchit">the Friday Fetch-it</a> is to that of <a href="http://www.brooklynvegan.com/">BrooklynVegan</a>—this wasn't intentional. I actually picked the colour from <a href="http://www.thenoisettes.com/" title="Warning: includes obnoxiously automatically playing music">Shingai Shoniwa</a>'s socks: </p>

I already wanted a roughly-green colour, and this allowed me to title that particular shade “Shingai Shoniwa’s Socks” Green—which is nicely absurd. </p>
