Yay for episodes coming out fast!
I don’t know what made me think of this, but maybe the whole vamps-liking-bright-colours thing isn’t a vampire thing at all. Maybe it’s just because, in that bright blue dress, she’d be more noticeable in a crowd, less camouflaged and more likely to be singled out?
Love the podcast: you guys rock!
