Ice Cream Flavor or Paint Color?

Miss Cellania — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 17:46:35 +0000

Colors and flavors come in such a variety that they need super descriptive names. Can you tell which of these twelve names are colors of Pottery Barn paint and which are flavors of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream? I went by the rule that if it sounds really delicious, it’s probably paint. However, I didn’t score all that well, so don’t take my advice! Link

She Painted Her Car with Nail Polish

Miss Cellania — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 20:35:57 +0000

Jill Bell of Urbana, Maryland repaired a scratch on her car with a dab of nail polish, and liked the look so much that she painted her entire car with it!

Over the next 13 months, from September 2007 to this past October, she completely covered her car in a quilt-like pattern – as a quilter, she found the multi-pattern paint job fitting, she said.

Bell said she collected between 100 to 250 bottles of nail polish, but did not have an exact idea as she simply used bottles from anyone she could get it from.

“Lots of ladies in my church donated nail polish, and lots of ladies at Weight Watchers, too,” she said. She said it would be nearly impossible for her to estimate the dollar value of all the bottles, as each brand cost a different amount – anywhere from under a dollar to $5.
