Absolutely gorgeous

FWIW, "mauve" was one of the coal-tar dyes developed in the mid-19th century that made eye-wateringly bright clothing fashionable for a few decades.

It was an eye-popping magenta purple

HOWEVER, like most aniline dyes, it faded badly, to a washed-out blue-grey ...

...which was the color ignorant youngsters in the 1920s associated with “mauve”.

(This dress is labeled "mauve" as it is the color the above becomes after fading).

They colored their vision of the past with washed-out pastels that were NOTHING like the eye-popping electric shades the mid-Victorians loved. This 1926 fashion history book by Paul di Giafferi paints a hugely distorted, I would say dishonest picture of the past.

Ever since then this faded bluish lavender and not the original electric eye-watering hot pink-purple is the color associated with the word “mauve”.

Play Fortress 2

It’s 18 boys who at the park one day decided to play a game of fighting! Split up into a Red and Blu team, pretended they were mercenaries in a war trying to take down the other team! They loved playing so much that now they all either play at the park, or they will choose someone’s backyard to go play in.

Loadouts!:

Scout(6)- little league baseball bat

Soldier (7)- a PVC pipe he found and he later manages to duct tape into a potato launcher (with some help)

Pyro(6)- a lighter (they aren’t suppose to have that 🤭) ((no, she does not light anyone on fire, he just makes a woosh sound with her mouth and the others play pretend))

Demoman(7)- pinecones and pinecones+gum

Heavy(8)- A log he found, lunch Мама packed him, fists

Engineer(7)- a little robot he made that can shoot BB pellets

Medic(7)- the first aide kit he took from the closet

Sniper(6)- pebbles and a slingshot

Spy(8)- a pencil (to ‘backstab’)

The grand parade
