    Blake Lively.

    To me, Beige Lively is the very definition of “fetch” - people keep trying to make her happen, and she’s just not going to happen. Because she’s the epitome of beige.

    Yeah, she’s kinda cute in that girl next door way. And there’s a reason GFY nicknamed her Boobs Legsley. But…that’s where the fun ends. Being blonde with a hot bod doesn’t equate to being exciting, it’s pretty run of the mill. And I know, I know, someone like Jennifer Lawrenceis much the same in terms of appearence…but the difference is, JLaw is a force of talent to be reckoned with, with a hilarious, down to earth personality to match. Blake…not so much. She’s acclaimed without any talent to back it up with (Weinstein influence, anyone?), with people (eg Baz Lurhman) even comparing her talent to that of Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan. I’m yet to have seen a performance that she hasn’t mumbled her way through yet. She’ll marble-mouth her way through a movie/episode and by the end, your brother will probably want to do her. Again, the fun ends there.

    I don’t know. I guess I just tire of someone as blank as Blake Lively being forced upon me at every opportunity.

    It’s not to say that the actresses on this cover (and in the folds) of this cover are all beige - a majority of them have turned out amazing performances in the last year. But at its essence this cover is boring. It’s telling us what we already know - that Hollywood is uninspiring, predictable, and forever lacking in diversity, both in age and ethnicity. So no - Rooney Mara isn’t beige (for now) but collectively, as a whole entity, as the representation of what Vanity Fair is telling us is ~HOLLYWOOD~ then… this shit is Cosmic-Vanilla-Egg Cream-Dentist’s Office Walls-Beige. Or, in other words: True Beige.

    I feel bad for Katherine McPhee, because she keeps trying, and still no one cares. Her new show, Smash. It’s about a struggling performer desperate for her chance in the spotlight.  Well. There it is.

    Is there actually anything in this world more beige than awards season? I mean, here we have an event - be it the Golden Globes or the Oscars or the SAGs or whatever - designed to gather all the eggshell and desert sand from every corner of the planet to one place. 

    Don’t get me wrong - there is something entertaining about all that glitz and glam once a year. The actual awards, the funny monologues, the unscripted moments of fuckery, the upsets and surprises - that’s all fun (minus the lack of diversity, arbitrary nominations, and millions of money shelled out on this stuff).  It’s not really the ceremonies themselves that are beige, but the hullabaloo that goes around them. 

    Have you ever watched red carpet footage on the E! Network? It’s mind numbing. Here you have these two bland people, spray tanned within an inch of their lives (Giuliana Rancid and Ryan Seacrest), saying things like:

    “So what’s a typical date night for you?”

    “Are you wearing a blue tie because blue is your favorite colour…or?”

    “You’re just like your character…the sassy maid…aren’t you?” [to Octavia Spencer of The Help]

    “We have people planted all over the red carpet so that we DO. NOT. MISS. Angelina Jolie’s dress.”

    “Did Diane Lane she get younger?”

    It’s nice to see an actress in a pretty dress but these people on the red carpet treat their 30 second interviews with the likes of Charlize Theron, Stacy Keibler, Piper Perabo, Claire Danes, and Nicole Richie as if they’re doing war coverage. I’m sorry, I just cannot bring myself to care enough about a bunch of beige actresses in expensive dresses.

    Happy New Year From TCB

    A Happy New Year and a hearty Hello to all our beige followers (and active haters), I hope the new year has treated you well thus far. 

    We at The Colour Beige have been on something of an unofficial hiatus (also known as being lazy) but it is our resolution to bring you back more commentary on the beigest of the beige out there! We are currently going through our message box and picking through the lovely and not so lovely messages and submissions (thank you!). We will begin posting in the coming weeks - but we need your help! Feel free to send in suggestions for beige candidates via our Ask Box - this can be people of any gender and any profession - actors, musicians, chefs, politicians, whatever! You can also nominate tv shows, movies, ice cream flavors, states of being…whatever you think is beige! If you find a quote, youtube clip, or funny picture of your beige person/thing - feel free to submit those, too. 

    You also have the option to submit your own beige posts - please see the Submission page to view criteria for sending a submission. 

    Just to clarify, saying someone is “beige” isn’t to say that they are a horrible icky person and we wish they would die (well, in most cases). You can be beige and tolerable (like Emma Watson). You can be beige and not so tolerable (like Sarah Palin). It’s possible to stan for a beige person just as much as it is to not be a fan. If someone you stan shows up on this blog and you feel strongly against it and it ruins your entire day/life/existence - please, by all means, send us a message with 10 reasons why you think they’re NOT beige and we’ll be happy to post it without comment. But we still reserve the right to throw shade at whoever we like! Sounds good? Great. 

    Looking forward to your submissions and spreading the beige love all around! 

    Best, 

    The Colour Beige

Beige.

The word encapsulates boredom and monotony. Unlike red, yellow, or violet, beige has no real identity. There are are many shades of beige, but they’re. still. beige.

Beige takes no risks and even when it does, you can still tell that it’s an undercover beige acting as a maroon. It’s almost cute.

Beige relies on its blank and dime-a-dozen looks to get work and fools itself that it’s talented because everyone wants to kiss beige’s ass. Sometimes, beige is even talented, but rests on its laurels and never steps out of its comfort zone.

We all know and love a beige and you know what? It’s fine. Beige is safe. Beige is soft. Beige gets the job done.
