the Mojo of Rojo


Red brings heat, makes flower,
and romances the heart.



Aye. There is magic in the color red. The flame of blossom, the lion's roar of Life. Red brings heat, makes flower, and romances the heart. Red is a literal come-hither, always in the foreground, bleeding confrontation, whilst the greens, the blues, the violets wait like wallflowers in the background of a picture plane.  Red is immediate presence,  commandeering a room; the color of forward motion, of conquest & enticements, irrefutable, undeniable. Blatantly remarkable, this red. Unrepentantly desirable.

yes. red rocks but you've got to know and find the right one. i've discovered that my olive skin doesn't look it's best in the gorgeous blue red that you see, but the turkish orange red, even though i like the blue-cool-red hue the best.

perhaps you rock the hue i envy! i think you should learn to sew....for me! lol. you know, if you ever need a "shopping partner" let me know, i'm good at shopping for others.

ps: thanks so much for commenting too. makes me feel like someone is reading this. xo. -Bella Q
