The same obsession with authenticity informed Kechiche's decision not to hire an intimacy coordinator for the 10 days it took to film all the sex scenes, as well as not tell the actors when exactly the cameras were filming, even when they asked. That was the real deal!

So what gives? Although it makes little sense in English, it's actually just a direct translation from French!—"Le Bleu est une couleur chaude". Obsessed with authenticity, director Abdellatif Kechiche (he/him) insisted on preserving this translation for international audiences.

Okay, I've collected myself. Now let's talk about that hair on Emma (21). It's the titular "warmest color", right? Wrong. Not only does that designation belong to yellow-orange—blue is actually the *coldest color*!

Every lesbian remembers the tickle in her panties the first time she saw that 14-minute sex scene. But as this color wheel demonstrates, the "warmest color" is actually much closer to *yellow-orange*.

thoughts on lingerie

LINGERIE IS ANTI-EROTIC A good painting finds only insult in an ostentatious frame! Desire me, lingerie says—an expectation we can only meet, since expectation refuses any gift beyond its own meeting. Lingerie's only surprise is its unveiling, through which its wearer declares it—rather than her desiring self—the site of surprise. For this reason, lingerie appeals to men disgusted by the contingency of female desire, as well as women whose desires can't but accomodate them. Lingerie is a monotone yes, a talisman against the fickle woman outside the room. Eroticism is the dance between the covered and the uncovered, the woman who wants and the woman who doesn't. Lingerie offers a way to avoid that dance by wearing its supposed cultural signifiers. By its lacy logic, a woman only becomes less naked at its removal. But plain underwear? This is the woman I first saw! On a train, in a crowd, anywhere but here and yet somehow, here she is! All the more impossibly here because she wears the uniform of the indifferent elsewhere. Here: a circle we'll never square, except by the edges and curves of each other's bodies, and even then...

We assume "an" arose as a variation of "a", because it's used less frequently (before words beginning with vowels). But "an" came first! We started omitting the N before words beginning with consonants around the 13th century.
