…that bandaids are discriminatory? (There is a little tongue-in-cheek involved in this post, by the way, so nobody get crazy with the comments.)
I never once thought about this notion until Buffy fixed Principal Wood’s forehead cut on Season 7 of Buffy. The peach-toned bandaid looked like The Shining Beacon of Boo-boo’s on Wood’s dark skin (very handsome dark skin, I might add). Most of us want to minimize our owies with bandaids, not maximize them or draw attention to them. Funny, I never thought of bandaids like this before. Apparently, others have.

Wow. I never would have thought of this. Besides, I’ve seen plain ol’ bandaids in an assortment of colors – from brown to peach to invisible.

I like season 7 of Buffy. I especially like Andrew. He’s just my absolute favorite.

I read somewhere that a spin-off was considered for Andrew… Not sure if it’s true or not, but I can see why nothing ever came of it. Andrew’s a riot, though. Keeps us laughing. (As does a real life Andrew I know.)

TG, we’re down to the final two eps of Buffy [wiping a tear]. We’ve been watching Angel concurrently and have season 5 left to go. I’ve been fascinated by the themes of good and evil, redemption, and even blood as we’ve watched these series. (Future blog posts are in the making.)
Have you watched Firefly yet?
