Annie opened the door and stood there, gaping. Everything was done in vibrant shades of red: the boldly floral wallpaper, floor to ceiling chintz drapes,..even the flower arrangements. "Im mad about red. I wanted my apartment to look like a garden in hell. All my life I've pursued the perfect red- I can never get painters to mix it for me. I'd tell them, "I want Rocco with a spot of gothic in it and a bit of Buddhist temple", and they'd look at me like they have not idea what im talking about!"
