They still need to conquor red and black. LOL!

By the way, for what it's worth, I seem to live my life in plan B.
I have tried to contact Henry, but maybe he's not checking his email?! If I do hear from him or his minions I will update y'all. AndI am sure you have found that sometimes Plan B turns out better than Plan A...though in this case it is proving to be considerably less convenient!

I read TanyaL's comment to mean that blue jeans are
designed to fade, as that look is valued by so many people, and that if the manufacturers wanted jeans to be totally colorfast they could do that with the new dyes.
