i have a soft spot

for the black dalek. he doesn't get the credit he deserves. he has a certain savoir-faire. is more urbane than the others. better read, i think, too. more cosmopolitan. the cary grant of daleks. looks like he rolled off coco chanel's sketch pad. whereas the gold daleks. reek of versace. all "look at me! look at me!" tackiness. too nouveau riche. (yes, i can even be a snob about science fiction.)

so daleks
like women
look better
dressed in black.

Thank god for the label because I was all "What's a dalek? Did he hit his head on the weekend?"

Black is good. In a country like England. The sky is black most of the year, and this nicely matches people's moods which, in turn, match people's clothing.

How do you get away with it in Australia? I saw nothing but bright clothing. I, indeed, wore cool board shorts and bright tops the entire time I was there last month. Black in sunshine does not go.
