Freak of the Week: Day Trippin’

I dunno about you, but I’m not big into hallucinogenics. Especially during the day. Please keep that in mind when I tell you about this blue Pathfinder I recently saw in West Hollywood:

Nice, blue SUV right? Or is it?

I got closer and realized, this ain’t no simple blue truck:

sparkle iridescent wrap

Or is it a purple truck?

Aaaaaaaarrrrggg! I immediately begin to freak out. Why did I order the “Mushroom Madness” at that freakin’ hippie vegan joint for lunch?  What really is the green in my Green Juice? Maybe that explains the unattended brownies in the break room this afternoon– I’m pretty sure I ate three! And taking the photos only makes the problem worse, for the more I snap, the more I”m convinced that I’ve snapped and Ashton Kutcher is about to jump out of the truck and punk me.

Turns out, it’s a thing.  The iridescent car wrap.  In fact, I saw another one this past weekend:

This one’s a bit more dramatic. Both are definitely iridescent wraps and both certainly screw with your head.

Why would anyone do this, you ask?  Because it’s cheaper & easier than covering a car in eye shadow.  Because some people are so sick of matte black that anything else seems like a better idea, even if they look like a drag queen’s chauffeur.  Or maybe some people simply enjoy watching a crazy white lady pace around their car desperately struggling to remember if she took the wrong pills at breakfast.

Either way, I applaud your independence.   You are one shiny, sparkly, completely confusing Freak of the Week!
