Its great to have more females in cardistry, so be sure to give your girlfriend as much encouragement as possible and invite her to join up here at UC as well.
If you want to be encouraging I can say that we often prefer to be called women.
I don't want to open a can of worms by going into it, so I'll just leave it at that it's much nicer.
That being said, purple's my favourite colour but I too have trouble finding sufficiently custom decks in purple. RSLancaster would probably know-- he likes custom courts and iirc purple decks. I'd recommend Aurum first, and if you're not averse to decks that aren't purple, I'd recommend the Seasons decks as being immediately eye-catching; they drew me in right away.
Thanks for the plug, neon!
Yes, custom courts are my thing, and Purple has been my favorite color since childhood (as I type this I am wearing a Purple Camouflage T-Shirt and hat (my
Purple Camo pants and bandana are in the laundry), a Purple lanyard on which hangs a purple keychain, on which is my purple key to our front door and the key to our mailbox. That key is not purple, but has a purple rubber thing around the head of the key.
On the desk before me are the following purple items:
A small pair of scissors
A larger pair of scissors
A Sharpie pen
A Whiteboard pen
An oversized ballpoint pen
A highlighter
A pen/pencil cup (holding the above)
A pair of reading glasses
A back scratcher
My cell phone
My iPod Classic (in a purple aluminum case)
A three-ring binder
A Kleenex box holder (Inside of which is a box of Kleenex, also purple)
A stuffed Purple Psychic Rat
A small Photo album
...and probably more, but it is getting dark in here.
Under the desk are the following purple items:
A Rubbermaid three-drawer dresser
My Purple Camouflage Bible Carrier (inside is a KJV Bible witha purple faux-leather cover)
A small wastebasket (matches the Kleenex Box cover)
a small throw rug
...and again, probably more.
Sadly, in spite of my "Purple Cred" and "custom court cred", I am woefully behind on recent decks.
In fact, I only stumbled upon this thread by searching for "Aurum" after seeing its box in the "Look what I just got" thread and wanting to know more about it.
