Ivor
IVOR/
LISTED BUILDING RESTORER
I got this lighter at 7-Eleven. I own three orange items: a lamp, a bedspread and this lighter. It makes me feel sweet and juicy.

I bought this keitai at a phone shop. As soon as I saw it I liked it; it' sexy, and I bought it. I have a good selection of orange things, including things I wear close to the skin... Orange is romantic! It reminds me of sunsets back home in Cyprus, at the place where Aphrodite was born. Orange is warm, it's hot, it's juicy!

ARTHUR/
MILK SNATCHER
I got this orange thing from a friend of my Dad. It kind of matches my skin, don't you think? How many items do I own? One at the moment-I'm only five days old, but I hope to get more in the summer. How does it make me feel? Milky, of course. Now put down the camera, Dad, and let's get to Aux Bacchanales pronto.

Orange Bounty

If brown is the new black and gray is the new brown and black is the new gray, what's the new blue? Orange, of course. Not orange skin which is so last millennium (discerning kogyaru take note), but orange clothes. Bright is right; dull is dead (for now). Our roving reporter gets the juice on your orange crushes: Where did you get your orange thing? How many orange items do you own? And how does orange make you feel?

I bought this jacket at a flea market in London. I own about five things this color. Orange makes me feel happy and genki!

This sweater came from a flea market in Shinjuku. How many orange items do I own? About five, I think. Orange makes me feel warm and bright.
