POPSThings Americans don't like to talk about Read the whole article, it is illuminating to say the least. I thought this passage said it best: " If you listen to a lot of conservatives, they'll tell you that the difference between them and us is that conservatives love America and liberals hate America.... They don't get it. We love America just as much as they do. But in a different Way. You see, they love America the way a 4-year-old loves her Mommy. Liberals love America like grown-ups. To a 4-year-old, everything Mommy does is wonderful and anyone who criticizes Mommy is bad. Grown-up love means actually understanding what you love, taking the good with the bad, and helping your loved one grow. Love takes attention and work and is the best thing in the world."

POPSThe Man who Flies with the Fishes "They’re all my designs, and now we have seventeen different ones in total. In my father’s day, there were three designs, and in my grandfather’s time, only two. The customers sometimes call me “professor” but really, I think of the customers as my teachers. By that, I mean most of the designs were developed from the requests of people (little boy, big brother and dad, grandma and grandpa) who came into the shop. From listening to their vague words, inside my brain, born from those words, a color image will float up and I’ll just transpose that image onto the koi nobori (laughs)."

POPSA Fashion Color Icon: Blue Jeans "Blue jeans are unique because of their attachment to one singular color. One of the earliest precursors to jeans was the dungaree, a thick cotton material created in India in the 16th century. The makers of the fabric choose to use indigo as the dye because it was the most prevalent natural dye of the time, and the dark tone made it a good choice for wear and when frequent washing was not possible." "The first jeans came in two styles, indigo blue and brown cotton. The brown cotton never became popular because unlike denim, the material never became soft and comfortable after time." "The shade of blue known as denim is an official Crayola color."
