It’s blue and black.
And unless you live under a rock, you know what I’m referring to.
#TheDress.
It popped up in my Facebook feed last night: an ordinary white and gold (and somewhat ugly) dress. The caption read “Seriously guys! This is white and gold! How can you see it differently?” I agreed. It was white and gold. I googled “white and gold dress” and it seemed that most of the rest of the Internet agreed with me. There were a few protesters, but I chalked that up to Internet trolls.
I got home from work, and asked my roommate. “It’s white and gold,” she agreed. I scrolled through tweets hashtagged #TheDress, and saw a photo of a blue and black dress in flames. Ah, I thought. Clearly the white and gold opinion wins.
Then, something strange happened.
All of the dresses on my Twitter feed became blue and black.
I asked Elise again, “is this white and gold, or blue and black?”
“White and gold,” she insisted.
My brain stopped working. I poured a glass of wine. And then, the greatest idea ever was born.
#TheDress drinking game.
