Causse, a former advertising executive, has replicated other iconic colors, such as the original rust shade of the Eiffel Tower, the black of Beluga caviar at Caviar Kaspia, the green of a Citroën 2CV and the bright white of the sand...
...With the ever-influential Iowa caucuses scheduled earlier than usual (on January 3), and both party's races hot enough to melt the butter cow at the Iowa State Fair, this place will remain full of presidential candidates, from Mitt to Rudy, Hillary to Barack, Huckabee to Edwards, maybe even Dennis (Kucinich) and Ron (Paul), for weeks to come...
