Historically, red light cast by a coloured glass lantern or lamp, was discovered by ancient Egyptians and Romans, to enhance the appearance of human skin complexion. A red light source will cause skin blemishes, freckles, blood vessels, rashes, bruising etc to disappear. Giving the skin a pure and more unblemished appearance.
The ancient prostitution industry soon took advantage of this business boosting optical illusion, installing red lamps in their working environments. As organised brothells developed, paying customers could more readily identify a working girl by the red lamp glow emitted from her window.
As brothell owners and prostitution demands became demographically focused because of common demand, eg areas of high trade, business premises became more concentrated and known as red light districts.

Get the Turkish lightbulb mug.A game played on the inside of a moving car in which the yellow light only needs to be seen by any one or more of the passengers. After the presence of the yellow light is made known, all passengers must try to touch the ceiling of the car. The last individual to touch the ceiling of the car must remove one article of clothing of their choice (if the clothing is a pair like shoes or socks it counts as one piece of clothing, jewellery doesn’t count as clothing). If you can’t remove a piece of clothing you are out and have to sit there until the game ends. The game ends when there is one player left or you get to the destination. Would be a good idea to put clothes on before you step out the car.

A positive/good vibes person that is single spreading good vibes to “the streets” so the streets don’t have to be so dark and also so people can see all that’s happening.
Good thing there are people that bring light to the streets because it’d really be dark without them. I like to call them “Street Lights”.

Get the Street light mug.A debilitating sensorimotor effect commonly experienced by a hyperaware male as a result of a self-inflicted obsession with headboard reading lights that point downward at the female in missionary position during intercourse, whereby the inept man progressively looses his little soft erection and proceeds to pseudonavigate his very impotence by projecting blame on the hanging bulbs that resemble dinking male sexual organs, and by releasing a timed laughter in order to appear in control of his embarrassing limpness
