I was on holiday in Morocco and in the middle of nowhere some random strangers suddenly shouted out ‘T4!’ It was so out of the blue; l was terrified for a minute!
Let’s cast aside notions of red counties or blue counties and recognize that these are artificial divisions.
Certainly Roseanne Barr has power, but it seems like it’s more acceptable to be heavy if you’re lower middle class and blue collar.
Not too long after ‘OITB’ debuted, I was at NewFest and I saw ‘Black Is Blue,’ a short film by Cheryl Dunye about a Black trans man trying to make it in Oakland. It was the first time I could recall seeing a Black trans man on screen and this was in 2015.
My father Eric had a magnetic presence. He was about 6ft 4in, with dark hair and pale blue eyes – and very attractive to women.
I would straighten and dye my hair. I’d wear blue contacts to school. I got to a point when I was 16 and I realised this isn’t me and this isn’t who I am and I just cut that all out. I really owned myself and who I was.
Like catching a glimpse of the McDonald’s golden arches after a night out, when I see the blue and white Boots sign in the distance I feel comforted.
Kelley Blue Book is raising awareness for distracted driving and trying to grow that awareness for people to make our roads safer. The biggest issue is people texting and being on their phone while driving, but it goes further than that. The safety and the awareness is so important.
Her mother was a Christian Scientist who didn’t believe in calling doctors. So when my mother caught whooping cough as a baby, stopped breathing and turned blue, her mother revived her by spanking her on the bottom. She saw life itself as a gift and saw her own survival as precious and a matter of chance.
When I was young we had a collection for the Welsh disaster at Aberfan and we also had a school campaign for Biafra. It is a wake-up call for kids – a way of understanding that it’s not all ‘Blue Peter’ for everyone and that maybe they can help.
My parents had this massive record player in the living room, a ‘blue spot grand’ they called it… it used up an entire rainforest to make this thing, and it had all these records in it. Some were rock, some were reggae, but a lot was blues – Ray Charles, Chuck Berry and all that stuff.
I listen to lots of blues records and some of them are funny. BB King’s ‘How Blue Can You Get’ is hilarious.
We were all in love with the club. We went to bed with Sampdoria pajamas on, while going to the Bogliasco training ground in the morning was always a joy: the blue of the sea on one side, the green of the hills on the other. Wonderful.
When I was a kid, you know, the Playskool plastic courts that were white backboard, blue base that you put water in and the rim was dunk breakaway. That was one of the first gifts that I actually remember – only because I broke it the first day I got it. So that sticks out in my head a lot. It’s one of the best gifts I ever got as a child.
I can’t tell people that are watching how fabulous I feel to have been picked by Blue Origin to go on this trip. I’ll love every second of it.
I was feeling kind of lonely and started singing All alone at the end of the evening, and the bright lights have faded to blue.’ And it went from there.
My mother-in-law and I have really worked on our relationship. It did not happen out of the blue. What works for us is that both of us are very strong women, we walk the line and come to a meeting point. We do not necessarily agree on everything but the one thing we agree on is the fact that we love each other and our intentions are right.
If you’re attending a serious occasion, a nice burgundy, navy blue or black tux would be perfect.
Putting on that powder blue uniform was truly a dream come true for me and my family. Because I was so personally connected to UNC basketball, I had a particular understanding of what responsibilities came with the opportunity that was presented to me.
My generation, we really have to step up to the plate and vote. Tweeting is great – people say, ‘Oh, I don’t want this or that’ – but at the end of the day, tweeting isn’t a ballot. Just saying that you don’t like someone on Twitter is not going to turn a state blue or red. You have to vote.
All my songs depict a slice of life and how youngsters perceive it. My song ‘Blue Eyes’ is exactly the kind of conversation a 21 or 22-year-old guy will have with the girl he likes.
