Great question! I've never considered this before as I never connected the two. I use ick as an expression equivalent to yucks, like when I see the slimey mess in the sink after DS1 has cooked a delicious meal. Squick was used for a subject or image that made me uncomfortable, so yeah, "sleeping" pheasants squick me and I have no doubt that I'd find dressing them IRL icky, but I don't use the two terms interchangeably.

If you do a seach, there are some sites that say squick was born from marrying squirm to ick. Maybe. Who knows? I like the explanation on fanlore.org which gives a possible etymological root and history for the word, and juxtaposes squick against trigger. I read tonnes of fanfic, so this was of especial interest to me.

Sorry for going OT. A few feathers to bring us back:

Those birds are gorgeous.
There is always the reliable term, "grossed out." Apologizes if I said this before, but I read that Armani was selecting his models for a show and for some he said, "gross, gross." That cracked me up. The poor models were probably just too heavy.

Just a cheap thrill. I have no idea how I became suddenly obsessed when I never felt an interest in this one before....I think it is the irony of the name combined with the imagery on it and the colorway name....more later.... :coolio:

One more feather scarf. It wouldn't be a feather week without joining in the MP and FP Festival! I managed to get that feathered little Phoenix head on the side of the scarf...

MP has been quite an education for me. These two cw are currently my fave. When I started collecting this design, I didn't even like the one with the yellow background. I wanted the neutral cw that everyone was raving about. Ms B/W Phoenix is a travel staple because it can go everywhere and matches with everything, but now I'm more fascinated by her rainbow sisters. Maybe it's the Chinese culture - our phoenixes are always a riot of colours. I'm waiting for H to create an MP in fiery red & gold a la Fonteyn in The Firebird.

The first brighter multi-colours never worked for me so I was really pleased to find the 2 'extra' re-issue colours and bought both (both silk 90s). I couldn't have wished for 2 more perfect cws, like an H prayer answered.

Totally agree! That re-issue duo was the best. I'm on the lookout now for the gavroches. Some of the cw duplicated those of the 90s, but some were completely different (advice given by MarieTouchet). I am developing a terrible weakness for the little scarves.
