I might be toying with the idea of being Hubertus Bigend for Halloween.

    a nominal Belgian who looks like Tom Cruise on a diet of virgins' blood and truffled chocolates.

Bigend wears an International Klein Blue suit in at least a couple books. This is useful to me because my wife is a rippin' tailor. She's already made me a suit jacket in white and blue stripes to be Ponyo's dad; not sure how dodgy this fabric is but I'll bet I could make this happen.

And then I found the paint.

So. Hubski. Considering I didn't buy a legit Yves Klein back in 2001 for $18k (I couldn't have spent a tenth that in 2001) that I saw go for $13m ten years later...

...what should I paint International Klein Blue?

elizabeth:

    you can now paint your walls with a color very close to the French artist’s International Klein Blue

how close is "very close" ?

i'd paint some midcentury modern chair, place it somewhere convenient and yell at anyone that tries to sit on it.
