@alexasteph  aww, cute kitty! Love this picture, he is so expressive!

[Titian06]

@alexasteph - I love your orange cat!  What's his/her name?  I had a tabby tan and white cat.  I named her Titian after the color that the artist Titian made famous.  (I believe the color is now burnt sienna.)

I also agree about burnt orange and coral; they're great colors.  Most of my orange blushes are actually coral.

[alexasteph]

@Titian06 This is Simon. He’s such a weirdo, but orange cats have that reputation! He sneezed in my face this morning before I even got out of bed. We have another tabby who’s

more brown, named Drogo after Khal Drogo from Game of Thrones.

10/26: Orange: is it an under-rated color?  What's your favorite shade?  How best to use it for decorating, fashion, beauty?  I do not like orange haha. I looked up this thing that said 130 Orange shades and their hex codes, I stopped scrolling but I did like Bittersweet, Desert, and Honey. I think the more brown orange would be good for landscape decorating. 

[Titian06]

10/26: Orange: is it an under-rated color?  Yes!  I love orange!

What's your favorite shade?  Neon orange for nails (Zoya Oakly) and orange-red for lips (KVD Archangel).

How best to use it for decorating, fashion, beauty?   Nail polish and lipstick.

10/26: Orange: is it an under-rated color?  What's your favorite shade?  How best to use it for decorating, fashion, beauty?

I love all shades of orange especially the more rusty orange.   I love pairing orange with navy blue or dark brown at this time of year.   

[Samtian]

10/21: Gothic style: yay or nay? Yes yes yes!

10/22: What do you think Halloween will look like in the future?   I think it's dying out sadly. True Halloween that is. 

10/23: Most unique use for candy corn? ? No idea.

10/24: Share creative ideas for leftover candy. I just like eating it. 

10/25: Best animal to chill with on Halloween night? I'd love to chill with a fox. 

[CynthieLu]

Ooh a fox?? @Samtian 🦊 that sounds fun.

I picture he or she being scamper-y and getting into mischief and silliness. 

[Samtian]

@CynthieLu Oh that would be perfect!

[Titian06]

10/25: Best animal to chill with on Halloween night?  I might be a little biased, but I think a black cat and a black and white cat are best!  Really, whatever pet you have is best! 🥰🐾💖

[CynthieLu]

Having a relaxing night with rambunctious Linus and Remi sounds wonderful @Titian06 😊🎃

[alexasteph]

Oct. 25: In the spirit of Halloween, a black cat obviously. I however, don’t have a black cat but I have an orange one and that’s a Halloween color too. 

[CynthieLu]

Ahhh orange is definitely a Halloween colour @alexasteph 👌

[Titian06]

Love your answer, @alexasteph ! 🧡🐾🖤

[CorgiMommy]

10/25:  best animal to chill with on Halloween night?

Obviously the ones that live with you!  In my case three adorable corgis.

[CynthieLu]

Yes to that 💕 @CorgiMommy. You with your troop of adorable pups sound like a super sweet evening. 

[Titian06]

Great answer, @CorgiMommy ! 😘🐾💖

[Titian06]

10/24: Share creative ideas for leftover candy.  Leftover candy?!? 🤣  I take it to work.

[CynthieLu]

Waste not, want not @Titian06 😁

10/22: What do you think Halloween will look like in the future?  i hope it looks the same, it's one of the holiday traditions that kids really love

10/23: Most unique use for candy corn?

My kids have used it to make Halloween art projects at school

10/24: Share creative ideas for leftover candy 

if it's leftover, it's gross, so garbage it goes. Or you could put it in a bowl for people that come visit

[alexasteph]

Oct. 23: I don’t like candy corn so I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it in any other way than my husband does like it so I will get him a big container of it to last him the season. 

Oct. 24: I am not familiar with this “leftover candy” you suggest exists.
