Robins Egg Blue

When I was a kid I can remember going to art class and working on a piece of pottery that I could not wait to paint Robins Egg Blue. It was by far one of the uglies pieces of pottery you have ever seen but I just knew that the Robins Egg Blue glaze I was putting on it was going to make it the most beautiful piece.....I just knew that color would make all the difference. I glazed that puppy up and had the teacher throw it in the kiln. I could not wait to get to the next art class to see my master piece.....which turned out to be a really ugly piece of pottery the shade of Robins Egg Blue.....so much for the color making the piece.

Flashforward 30 years.....now at the age of 41 I must be thinking the same thing about Robins Egg Blue. Only this time the Robins Egg Blue color is not on pottery but actually my undergarments. I knew the underwear and matching bra must have caught my eye....and I also know that I must have been thinking that color was going to turn this out of shape 40 something body into a master piece. Damn color. Needless to say a trip to the mall with ones 14 year old daughter proved that Robins Egg Blue does nothing for a flabby old body.

Ah...the horror! I was standing in the dressing room taking off my capris and my shirt. Getting ready to try on a dress that again...I thought would hide all of my imperfections....Then it hit me. I was standing there in my Robins Egg Blue Bra and Robins Egg Blue granny panties and it was not a scene that should be witnessed by those with weak stomachs. I have to give it to my daughter....she really held it together and her 14 year old tongue which could no doubt have harpooned the sight in the mirror. Note to self, if Robins Egg Blue did not improve the ugliest piece of pottery in 6th grade it certainly isn't going to improve the 40 something body of a Champion Eater.
