Never trust a woman who wears mauve, whatever her age may be, or a woman over thirty-five who is fond of pink ribbons. It always means they have a history.
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1891

Nice quote, BB. Always rely on OW for witty conversation.
He is the man whose last words were “either this wallpaper goes, or I do”

And the wallpaper’s still getting the last word 🙂 thanks, John
nice quote, I liked the part about pink ribbon and women over thirty five 🙂
Thanks, Amira 🙂
Got a chuckle out of the Oscar Wilde quote.
He was a sharp one, Charles 🙂
Good quote, but I must be thoroughly untrustworthy !
Me too, Gilly, hehe
The first photo has a great combination of colour and texture. I love mauve or plum type colours 😉
Thanks, Gabe – me too – but the other half’s not too keen on purple (not sure why – perhaps, like Oscar, he thinks ‘harlot’, haha) When I was younger I had a funky purple suit (pants and jacket) with black polka dots (well, it wasn’t long out of the 80s!) which he hated. We had a burglary and they stole all his clothes, but none of mine except the suit – mmmm…suspect, wouldn’t you say 😉
very suspect – hahahaha (and what were you thinking – black polka dots ;))
actually now I come to think of it, your suit would have matched my clown pants (white with black vertical stripes, and a bit puffy at the top – haha)
They were clown pants, too, haha – pleated, very baggy and high-waisted with a big black cummerband
The height of fashion in the eighties – haha 🙂
Well, I did buy it in the 80s 😉

Still smiling over that quote. love it. 😉
Perhaps he was just jealous 🙂
Ay! Oscar was always the jealous type. 😆
Great quote for the theme, BB.
Thanks, Nancy – OW’s always good for a laugh.
Trust aside … that purple looks terrific alongside the blonde hair.
Thanks, Geoff 🙂
Great quote to go with the photos. A little goes a long way when it’s perfect…
Thanks, Sued51 🙂
I love all shades of purple, wear them a lot and am completely trustworthy. Hahaha. Whoever the purple-wearing-lady is in the photo, she has the most gorgeous hair. HOT!!!!
Selma, are you the original Purple People-Eater?! Does Max know? 😀
Thanks for the compliment 😉
Well, Oscar would know.
Yes, he would, Kate. haha
I really like the colour in that first one.
He also said, ‘Never trust a woman who tells you her age – she will tell you anything.’
Velvet lends itself to purple, doesn’t it? Something a little decadent about both…
I think Oscar was the canonical bitch 😆
😀
Great post for the theme my friend 🙂
Thanks, Jake 🙂
And here’s to having a history!
Oscar certainly had one! 🙂
