Speaking of Love Goddesses, famous 1940s and 1950s movie star Lana Turner was known to favor the color in her dress and decor.
It makes everything on earth fall in love-how the ocean kisses land, how land nestles trees, how swaying trees always whisper sweet nothings into our ears." Pride I remember asking Madrina when she was trying to teach me this tradition why the color of love isn't pink, or red. Her key color is yellow, not the Western (*cough* White) Red or Pink, because it is the color of sunshine. You may notice a lot of yellow used: Santeria spirituality is a big piece of the story, with the Goddess of Love and Beauty Ochun (Oshun) being prominent. I gave her a hairstyle similar to Zoey Johnson from Black-ish and a bit of a 2010's treatment of the outfit worn by Jodie Landon in Daria as they are young African-American women from affluent and educated families who are striving towards their own goals. Georgia "Gigi" Darcy (Georgiana Darcy): Sweet, intern, young, naive, open to others, enunciates her words with no slang. She is noted to have more swag than her older sisters and I gave her a monogrammed top because I felt it was very her, because she likes to stand out and a bit oblivious to how her behavior reflects on her sisters (just like Lydia). Layla Benitez (Lydia Bennett): Wearing a tight top and short shorts, as described in one scene, with her jewelry and braids and makeup. She is softness, curviness, sweetness, and love. Janae Lise "Nae Nae" Benitez (Jane Bennett): I put her in some pink florals and a vintage sundress because she is very feminine and sweet, and in awe of the vintage shops near her college in Syracuse. The title of the book on the cover is transcribed in Turquoise so I gave her that and she talks about having chipped blue nail polish and a afro she likes to poof up. Zuri Luz Benitez (Lizzie Bennett): In her trademark bamboo hoop earrings and spaghetti strap sundress (that she is wearing with sneakers because she is casual and edgy, or "hood"). Sooooo I recently re-read my library's copy of Pride: A Pride & Prejudice Remix by Ibi Zoboi (and have ordered my copy online) and I find there is a lot of opportunity for illustration!
