Despicable Marie Antoine dressed in puce paraded her gown, with a queenly high head, the pretty little tome soon to be cropped. When the chopper had his way, her head came off and her face turned puce. Was it purple or puke green? Maybe that’s the reason puce is so confusing. In Marie’s case she was not confused, just dead. Kathryn McLoughlin Collins for a contest about our favorite color. I must admit it is not my favorite

Dear Kathy, I guess this is funny, in a morbid sort of way... but c'est la vie... or death, as the case may be... unfortunately, Marie can no longer help us on this question... Love, Terry (Good luck in the contest... and in the other event too...)
