It’s Not Easy Being Green?

No Wearing Of The Green

It’s only for fairies.

Irish born, London based professional storyteller Olivia Armstrong writes:

Before Queen Victoria insisted on a white wedding dress in 1840, the custom had been for brides to wear bright, colourful dresses that could be worn again – but never green.

Green was the fairies’ colour and to wear it could bring devastation to the bride…

Meanwhile…

It persists. I once proposed wearing green to a relative’s wedding and was firmly shut down by my Nan. She also objects to dressing newborns in green & has a blanket ban on wearing green in May (it’s the fairies’ month, and wearing their colour is ill advised!). #FolkloreThursday

Greener than thou.

Our Man In Japan writes;

Was doing my occasional Google Earth nostalgia trip back home and took these screengrabs. Thought this might be of some interest, curiosity value…I’ve heard some people say Tokyo is quite a green city. It’s not.

Update:

Tokyo in Ireland.

Yikes.

Thanks Jojo (see comments).
