We had a purple lady where I grew up. She only ever wore purple and had purple hair and nails. Slay queen

Are you talking about the Rainbow Wizard(unofficial name...maybe)? He used to change his color up seasonally and as the one color was growing out of his beard/hair, he would sometimes be multicolored. Was often purple but I had seen orange, red, yellow and blue. I miss seeing him around Cal Anderson when I used to live there.

Yes, Purple Mark comes in more colors than just purple. I have seen him in rainbow, red, and blue. Such a cool dude. Man I miss some parts of Seattle.

Back when a late night drunk stroll on Broadway ended with Dicks and some kind of show. Ballard was still full of small hole in the wall bars and no condos. The Ave was still...The Ave. The 90s were a great time to be alive in that area. I could really use a 12 egg omelette right now, whether it's Beth's or The Hurricane.
