...Jawlensky, another Blaue Reiter, wrote of the years 1905-06, "I understood how to translate nature into color according to the ardor of my soul." His drawing became schematic, as color carried his paintings' emotional content. In Helene with Dark Blue Turban (1910) the clash between the cold fuchsia background and the warm red of Helene's blouse delivers an electric charge. Emotion and ardor fill the collection, as if Gabrielle and Werner Merzbacher had said to themselves, "We like this picture," rather than, "We must have another Matisse." This concern for each painting gives the collection its tautness...
Rainbow Randolph (Robin Williams), the beloved kid-show host, is ruined and then fired when he's caught taking bribes. His re-placement is the title character, a fuchsia-coated rhino under whose skin lurks the politically correct, morally perfect but terminally nerdy Sheldon Mopes (Edward Norton).

For 40 min. two barefoot attendants poured a pungent green oil over my brow in a gentle back and forth motion...
...Williams prepared for the role by watching tapes of an interview with Jeffrey Dahmer--"to get his conversational tone; it was so calm." Death to Smoochy is a comedy but not a light one. He plays a TV clown who, incensed at being replaced by Smoochy, a big fuchsia rhinoceros, tries to rub out his successor...
...entered the popular hacker vocabulary. The Chinese side plastered homages to Wang Wei, the fighter pilot lost at sea after a collision with a U.S. surveillance plane, on government, media and company sites across America. Pro-U.S. hackers promptly returned his image, retouched to show Wang wearing fuchsia lipstick, mauve eye shadow and rouge...
