What color is this dress?

Critical poll of the day:

I put gold and white, because that's what I see, but I know it's really black and blue.

What is this all about anyway, this is the second time I've seen this question? A little background info please?

I like how some images are edited:

The dress, no matter what you "see" has shades of blue in the light fields, and black in the dark fields. So that if you chroma-adjust the original image, you get the other two dress images. The light sections, if you pull a pixel, or group of pixels out, and place them over WHITE, they will show blue, but, if you put them over BLUE, they will show white. Same as the dark with black and gold.

I'm a Black and Blue, I appear to be in the minority.

SPOILER ALERT! Those dressed in the above pic are the same...

*EDIT* For full disclosure, most internet memes are completely lost on me. I don't listen to pop radio, so, anything involving songs in heavy rotation I usually won't know. And, I don't Reddit, or Instagram, or Tumblr, and my Facebook stays under 100 people, with Internet Memes being one of the things that gets people removed.

Honestly, I only knew of the llamas on the llam from the llaw because I came across the sped up version of the chase set to Yakety Sax. Which was HI-larious.

• 7 million Facebook fans
• Friskies commercials
• Lifetime movie
• numerous TV appearances
• Book
• most popular celebrity at SXSW
• tons of merchandise, t shirts etc sold at Hot Topic
• own end cap displays in Hallmark stores (etc stuff plushies, xmas stockings)

I think you are confusing celebrity with the people you know about. Those are not the same thing. Hell I have grump cat mints sitting right here on my desk right now...

The "?psid=1" was breaking it. Not sure what you use the variable for on your end, but, I have noticed that the image function here really wants your image to end in .gif, jpg, or another know image file extension.

"Most popular at SXSW" is sad...
