True Colors Thursday - SCARLET

It's True Colours Thursday again. This week's theme is SCARLET, so, play along visit our lovely hostess, Blue and we hardly think she's a "Scarlet Woman"!

Scarlet (from the Persian säqirlāt) is a red color with a hue that is somewhat toward the orange. It is a pure chroma on the color wheel. It is redder than vermilion. Traditionally, scarlet is the color of flame. It may also refer to the color of the blood of a living person.The first recorded use of scarlet as a color name in the English language was in 1250

Scarlet O'Hara

"Nothing modest or matronly will do for this occasion!" [we think this gown is more garnet than scarlet - but we couldn't resist being southern and all]

Rhett Butler demanded Scarlett wear the gown to Ashley Wilkes' birthday party. Despite the fact that it was supposed to do nothing more than make Scarlett look like the improper woman she was, it has continued to be a fashion icon and has inspired countless reproductions.

With its feathers, rhinestones and low-cut bustline, it became a plot device within the film as Rhett sought to humiliate Scarlett by having her thrown from Melanie Wilkes' home.

Although my mom would be the one to dress like Scarlett she is definitely NOT a Scarlett - She's a Melanie all the way! [you might have to be southern to understand that one!]
