The conservative Real Estate Industrial Complex in San Francisco — which has no taste in anything! — dictates that anyone who wants to sell their home paint it black and grey, or black and white or black, grey and white. They claim that’s the only way the home will sell to (conservative) buyers because homes in funeral colours of black, grey and white are the only homes that will sell. So most of the homes in San Francisco look very drab and depressing. Some, because of their design, look like a mortuary.

Yet I look throughout Sur América (South America) and I see homes painted in beautiful colours and the Latinos use of beautiful colours throughout their lives.

Then there are the people who take part in the latest fad of wearing all-black clothing 365 days a year. I’ve been told it’s so that these people don’t have to waste mental energy on what they will wear each day as far as matching colours and so forth. They claim it’s easier to put on all-black clothing. (Why not all red or all blue or all green? Why all-black?) Frankly, I never spend much time on matching colours and I never wear all-black. As Dame Edna said to some of her guests who wore all-black clothing, “Tell me, what funeral did you just come from?” Exactly.

Then I see all of the interiors of condos and apartments on live cam shows that the 20s and 30s age group live in. Their “colour scheme” is black and grey. Walls, paintings, art work, couches, tables, everything in the room: black and grey (sometimes white). Sometimes black, grey and white. I wonder how they’re able to see mold growing on their walls — especially in the bathroom and kitchen — when everything is black and grey? One of my shallow relatives was brainwashed by her friend that everything in her home should be black and grey, so she repainted accordingly. She used to be all about pretty colours until she was brainwashed of what colours are “in.”

Why are all of these people so terrified of the beautiful colours we have on Earth? I would find it very depressing to be around black and grey all day and every day. And black and grey and white are very conservative colours. I don’t like see Orchestras and Choruses in all black or black and white. It looks very conservative, but I realise that performance attire is part of one of the silly traditions of the classical music field.

And there are some older people who have taken part in this ludicrous fad. They’re now wearing all-black too which makes older people look even older than they are, in my opinion, especially people with all grey hair. Do they not realise how “old” they look in all black or black and grey? If they want to look older, they’re accomplishing that goal by wearing funeral colours 365 days a year and making their homes look like a mortuary.

Has none of this occurred to these silly-fad-obsessed people, regardless of their age?
