I just killed a man with a screwdriver and I'm trying to decide what to wear to the eventual arraignment. A paisley skirt would highlight my taut, hairy calves, but green taffeta goes brilliantly with my eyes.

You could fashion a green taffeta skirt into a crude vest.

i would go with chartreuse

Chartreuse is YOUR color Schyler. Only a rare few can pull it off.

So, did you gaze into his eyes as the life drained from his stiffening body, trying to catch the exact moment when the soul departed?

I would recommend visiting Ask Metafilter.
Be sure to mention a complete lack of remorse.

In any case, aren't you looking for a mastermind's subtlety mixed with a showwoman's debonair? They're going to hold up that evidence bag. What colour is the screwdriver?

For the love of God, do I have to do EVERYTHING around here? Let's get a grip on ourselves, people.

*sighs*

Green. Taffeta. Skirt.

Red is nice, but do I want to look powerful? Would not a remorseful blue be preferable? I'd like to minimize prison time, if possible.

The screwdriver handle is sort of a deep orange, which, again, would go nicely with the green.

I'm torn.

On preview: But of course!

But gramschmidt, what was the man doing with the screwdriver?

He was dying.

Nudity is the best policy.
