The first time I ever saw the word, I thought it was pronounced "foo CHEESY uh".

Fuch's was my favorite source of ceremonial herbs, candles, etc. They were on 9 Mile in Ferndale.

And the Fuchsia is actually a lovely flower.

I had fushia hair and loved it....my man is honestly allergic to any shade of 'pink'.....I refuse to wear fushia or anything close to it.

Now there is one pretty flower.

Call me an asshole but it looks like just pink.. Damn society's fancy names.

I posted this in a topic about pink in the fashion forum. Seems somewhat appropriate here, too (once again, Nerdcore - no offense if you're lurking about ):

The following is from Sarah Vowell's "American Goth", a piece from one of her books. She can frequently be heard on NPR and the program "This American Life." The entire bit is about her investigation of and initiation into the goth scene, and is very, very funny. You can hear an audio of the entire piece at This American Life - What You Looking At?, the piece starts at almost exactly 5:00 minutes into the audio file, and lasts 15 minutes.

The applicable bit:

Before we broke out the eyeliner, we all sit in a circle and go through my homework. The whole thing reminds me of graduate school seminars, except these people are smart and funny and have something interesting to say.

They outline and debate the finer points of goth theory. They all got into goth when they were in their early teens, and they are, as Indra puts it, “Sooo in their 30’s.” Step one of the guidelines is choosing a goth name. Indra says, “most of us have changed our names to be something more gothic. A lot of people legally change their name.” According to Mary, if you go into any of the goth clubs nowadays, you’ll find a lot of spooky names like “Raven” and “Rat” and “Sage.”

When I was pondering a good goth name for myself, I paged through my reference books on death and dying for something gruesome. Nothing felt right. I think it’s because I came of age in the 80’s and I’d seen “Blue Velvet” too many times, but to me, the really frightening stuff has nothing to do with ravens and rats. The truly sordid has a sunny, waspy glow. Therefore, I tell them, the most perverse name I can think of is – “Becky.”

It turns out that by saying the magic word “Becky”, I have suddenly moved to the head of the class gothwise. As Monique puts it, “You are understanding the Pink of goth. You’ve skipped a couple levels and you went straight to pink.”

The group’s consensus is that pink is the apex of expert goth, that newcomers and neophytes should stick with basic black. But those confident enough, complex enough, can exude gloom and doom while wearing the color of sugar and spice. Indra argues that pink can be, “an intelligent, sarcastic color.” Though Terrence says of experimenting with pink, “proceed with caution – I can’t warn you enough.”

As if they need to warn me. It would never occur to me to wear pink. Just as it would never occur to Michael Douglas to play a poor person.

I like to wear Fuchsia. It brings out the yellow in my eyes.
