Today I passed up "Vampsterdam" and "Diva in Geneva" in favor of "Romeo and Joliet".
I liked the other names better, but I felt the red undertones of this shade drew the eye to the polish and away from the toes themselves more than the purple hue of the Vamp or the Diva. If any of you know the executives at OPI will you please ask them to invite me to sit around the table where they come up with the names for their polishes. I'll pay my own way to get there and I won't talk during the meeting. I just want to see the environment that fosters such creativity.
Add to your list: the wall paint naming committee! sherman williams etc.

My father used to tell about the meetings they had to come up with the names for the colors of carpeting! Hilarious!

My husband used to have to come up with street names for the subdivisions they designed. OYE! That is a difficult thing to do...you have to be sure not to offend anyone (political correctness in street naming, ya know?)
I could come up with some doosies when it comes to naming nail polishes. Let us hear a few of yours.

Having finally made the pumpkin oatmeal day before yesterday, and having given it "provisional" approval because I loved it but there is enough for another fortnight at least, I admit to being quite remiss in the pumpkin latte division. Am I doomed to forever lag behind you in culinary pursuits? Well, so what? I enjoy following in your footsteps even if you did choose Romeo and Joliet over Vampsterdam. :-)

Must agree, OPI has names that are great fun!
