Remember mood rings? As a pre-adolescent, I had one. The ability of the ring's color to change based on my emotions was such a mystery! How did it know? I hadn't yet learned about how heat is produced and carried through my veins and arteries. Now it all seems so silly. Besides, the change of color was such a source of embarrassment in school, despite it being the very reason we wore them! You didn't want anyone else to know that you had a crush, but you still wanted to see if the ring worked.
I had forgotten all about mood rings until I read Jenny Lawson's post about furniture that changes with body temperature. Uh, no thank you. Here's a link to the post, but proceed with caution. It is not for the faint of heart. Then, as I gazed out of the balcony, I saw a car that makes me wonder about its owner. I mean...someone actually chose to pay for this! A "Mood Car." It changes color according to the temperature. This morning, it was yellow. Now it is turning Mary Kay pink. You can still see some yellow remaining on the roof and trunk.
WHAT THE WHAT?!?!?
Why would anyone want this, other than to avoid a carjacking, since no one ELSE would want it? It gets a suntan, then changes its mind. I mean, I do NOT understand the appeal. Maybe it is just the paint color choices. I have seen a purple to blue car paint that is pretty nice, but I still wouldn't want it. The splotchiness of it just doesn't appeal to me.

It is on my dream list to have a car that is detailed from the front, covering about 1/3 of the car, in the style of Peter Max. Now THAT would turn some heads. Check this one out. Peter Max Mini Car. Wouldn't that be fun?
I would love to get inside the head of the owner of the Pink Reveal. Or maybe not. I tried to find out a little bit more about this paint job, but was unsuccessful. Here's more about the blue/purple, and here is a source of other colors, but nothing with this combination. That means it had to be a personalized job. The car owner paid extra for these colors. Seriously?
Okayyyyyy. SMH.
I don't get it. It reminds me of Pepto-Bismol. Maybe the owner is a successful Pepto-Bismol sales rep? It is too pastel for Hello, Kitty or Barbie. Maybe he or she at first wanted yellow, then changed his or her mind, and then thought, "Wait! I can have it both ways!"
Or maybe this was a painting fail, sold at a deep discount to get rid of it. Yeah. That's the ticket. That's the story I'm going with until I know otherwise. Mood car. Might be interesting...or embarrassing.
"How did you know I was cheating? What gave it away?"
"Oh, the pink butt cheek prints on the top of your trunk were a remarkable clue."
