Dress Yourself in Reds

Do we eat apples because they're sexier?

Yesterday the Guardian said red art sell for much more at auction than non-red paintings and that they're 'sexy'. According to Sotheby's art expert Philip Hook, the colour red also sells. Plugging the upcoming sale at Sotheby's of Mondrian'spainting Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue, he told reporters that the more red a painting flaunts, the higher the price it is likely to fetch.

I'm now on the lookout for Aixoise emigres like this gal in the Metro. Mille Red Riding Hood is a long way from home. Hope she doesn't meet M. Loup/wolf...

There was TONS of red at L'Art du Jardin in Grand Palais - Merci's red car loaded with complimentary colored greens...

A red tomato/carrot bouquet...

And a red 'flower' chair at the show. Just don't sit on it. You'll crush it!

Mom and son look-alikes toute en rouge

Dad is matching bébé at the show. It would be appropriate to dress yourself in reds at a garden show full of greens. It makes color sense doesn't it?

Though it seems odd that a 'Keep Calm' sign would be in tomato red?

Red trench coats are out in full force in Paris. It poured today...

Friend Patricia looks swell in front of this turquoise wall.

Provencal strawbs last night.

And sighted today the 1st fraise du bois/wild strawberries of the season at Maison Stohrer on rue Montorgueil

Just a touch of red will do in Paris. Looking very rouge et noir with this smidge of a red skirt and black boots.
