Purple is a very favorite color among teenage girls, so it is especially suitable that Miss Beasley (yes, it's with an "s") would appear on a purple toaster at this stage of her life.
She could moderate to a more subtle, yet attractive, color, as she grows older. ;-)
I must have arrested development, then. Purple is still my favorite color. Each cohort in our program is identified by color and I was able to convince everyone in my cohort to be the purple cohort. (I don't know about anyone else, but I was not going to spend 4-5 years being identified by a crappy color.) : )
However, I define purple broadly, and will gladly wear or decorate with lilac, mauve, etc. I will be wearing an icy lilac nailpolish for good luck when I defend my proposal on Monday. There is a purple house on my bus route and I must say I am just green w/envy. One day...
Arrested development.
