Dragon Scale Gold

We went and got pedicures today... so nice.  All climbers should get pedicures, for real.  You don't have to get color (although how could anyone resist such sparkle?!) but you should definitely let them pamper your much-abused feet.

Behold the calluses left by my climbing shoes! (I need new climbing shoes!)

We renamed the color I chose, because it was something more boring than "Dragon Scale Gold", and it got me to thinking about dragons and nesting on gold hordes and how wouldn't it be interesting if dragons weren't born with scales but had to go out and get them like a hermit crab does his shell?  And they nest in gold because it's the softest metal, so their babies get a sort of "down" before they begin adding stronger scales of iron or steel... yup, it could totally be an element of a short story.
