People who wished they could have swapped chimed in, too, about how they had finally bought themselves the color they had really wanted, years and years after the fact.
#Kitchenaid artisan colours how to
People started swapping tips on how to airbrush machines in custom colors, or listed what they had and what they wanted and where they were located, finding matches in the replies. Responses poured in from divorcées, widows, the still-married-but-finally-owning-my-preferences everyone had a tale, a KitchenAid that was a magnet for complex feelings around the identities they had forged in their relationships.
When I tweeted that I wished I could swap my empire-red KitchenAid mixer with another divorcée for a new color (teal, please), I had no idea that there would be such a well of emotion around these appliances. i want like, teal.- Eve Ettinger October 27, 2021 I would love to do a kitchenaid swap with another divorcee who wants the same thing but a different color to reset memories. With 11,000 likes in 48 hours, the response suggested that saying the thing we’ve been ignoring collectively allowed everyone in the room to let out a long sigh of relief. Sometimes, though, one of the throwaway thoughts that I toss up on Twitter hits a tender spot, and last week, it was a tweet about my KitchenAid mixer, whose red paint does, now and then, remind me of my ex. And even when the marriage ended, it kept spinning. It was a gift that, at the time, made me feel deeply loved. I feel fond of it. I’ve been divorced for a number of years and now it’s not tied to my former marriage as much as to the relative who gave it - I was a big baker in college, and they knew that I would want a good tool for my creations. Empire red, I’m told, and it was a wedding gift.
