Color of the Day - Alexandra blue
Alexandra – Born at Copenhagen, Dec. 1, 1844. Daughter of Christian IX. of Denmark and wife of Edward VII., king of England, whom she married March 10, 1863.
Century Cyclopedia of Names, 1904
Alexandra blue, 1863 – The beautiful colour which has received the name of Alexandra blue,
What-Not, April 1863
Alexandra blue, 1872 – It is worth noting that ultramarine, in a very deep shade (when it borrows the name “Alexandra,” “royal,” &c., according to the period), is one of the most unbecoming colors that can be placed near the face in masses. Its brilliancy lends a yellow hue to the skin, while its deepness withholds the gray shadows cast by pale blues, which are so valuable to delicate complexions: it should be shunned alike by the florid and the fair.

Introducing - Yipe!: the Costume Fanzine of Record
I just received an email from the magnificent costumer Kevin Roche:
Yesterday my friend Jason Shachat and I released the first issue of our new online 'zine, YIPE!, dedicated to the art and craft of costume. Our goal was to produce the look and feel of a glossy pictorial magazine in every way but the "printed on paper" part.
You can download the inaugural isue as an Acrobat (PDF) file at http://www.yipezine.com .
Hope you enjoy it; this is definitely a labor of love.
Kevin
P.S. If you have the bandwidth and storage, I recommend you opt for the high-resolution (25M) version. It's really spectacular.
P.P.S. If you are interested in contributing to future issues of YIPE!, contact us at editors@yipezine.com
I just finished reading it, and I'm very impressed. I highly recommend it!
