Fluorescent Four-Leaf Clover Necklace

Red Rover and clover.  So many puns, so little rhyme.  What's a blogger to do?  Oh yeah, that's right, make a list:    

Red Rover

Classic '60s tune "Crimson and Clover"

The Mars Rover

Mars the Red Planet

Red Rover

I always liked the rhetoric of the schoolyard game Red Rover.  Because, colors.  But the game in practice?  Not so much.  Running around with a bunch of Capri Sun-buzzed crazies and risking grass stains on my stretch pants was never a good time.  

You know what was and still is a good time?  Stickers!  You may have noticed the rainbow, star, and Yeah! graphics slapped on this post's outfit pic.  (For some reason, "Yeah!" was the only word available, so I obeyed the laws of improv and went for it.)  They're my (and your) PC's version of stickers, and I was excited when I found them.  I use stickers in real life; why not use them in fake life too?

It's the little things.

Classic '60s tune "Crimson and Clover," The Mars Rover, and Mars the Red Planet

"Crimson and Clover" is about the past and peace and love.  Whereas the Mars Rover and, indeed, Mars the Red Planet, are about the future and the unknown and possibly death and destruction, either ours or the Martians'. 

So, also some not so little things.

All together now!

Whether you paint the planet red, preach peace and rainbows, or sport any other color combo, at The Tote Trove, you can always come over. 

Unless you're wearing head-to-toe-denim.
