Thanks for the link…for someone who isn’t a fashion designer, I think the concept of seasonal colors from Pantone is cool, and the way they give designers CMYK color formulae is neat.
I must aver that, alas, “clicky to embiggen” was not coined by myself; it was generated by the insane mind of a British fellow calling himself “Scaryduck”, who has a ‘blog at scaryduck.blogspot.com, and is wryly and roaringly (and adultly–proceed with caution) funny. I am wontonly ripping it off.
I will, however, take credit for getting the phrase its Atlantic Crossing.
Hi Samuel John,
No worries! Your article is terrific and how nice of you to share who coined the phrase. We care most that you suggested we follow it.
Great to see you!
