Tuxedo Cardigan Corset Leotard Tuxedo Answer: The "tuxedo" was named after Tuxedo Park, an upstate New York countryside enclave for Manhattan's wealthiest citizens. The story has it that one evening Griswold Lorillard, the son of the founder of Tuxedo Park, and his friends came up with the idea to wear a short black jacket without tails to the club's first Autumn Ball in October 1886. The new fashion was a hit. When male guests would visit with families in Tuxedo Park, they were intrigued by the jackets that men wore and would ask their tailors to make them a jacket “like the ones worn in Tuxedo.” Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Gone with the Wind The Wizard of Oz Casablanca Lawrence of Arabia Gone with the wind Answer: Gone with the Wind was the first color film to win an Academy Award for Best Picture. At the 12th Academy Awards in 1940, Gone with the Wind won a total of ten Academy Awards (eight competitive, two honorary) including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Editing. It received two further honorary awards for its use of color and equipment. It would take a long time for Hollywood to fully embrace the technology; it wasn't until 1956 that all five Best Picture nominees were color movies.

Banana Blueberry Cherry Orange Banana PHKRAUSE the answer is BANANA dgrimm60 Answer: Xanthophobia is fear of the color yellow. Xanthophobia is derived from the Greek word “xantho”, meaning yellow and “phobos” which means fear. Like other fears and phobias, it can cause panic, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, and nausea. The common cause of this phobia is traumatic experiences involving the color yellow, like getting stung by a bee or perhaps getting hit by a yellow car. Sufferers of xanthophobia fear anything yellow, including bananas, lemons, mustard, the sun, or even just the word yellow.
