Blue dress

1. An illusion.
2. A fluke of bad lighting.
3. Irreconcilable confusion.

The metaphor originates from an image of a dress which gained instant internet notoriety because the lighting in the photograph caused the dress to appear unquestionably deep-blue & black to many viewers, and obviously white & gold to many others. The dress was actually gold and white, but the human eye's perception of the shades often causes misinterpretations.

1. An amputee may still feel the missing limb, but it is a blue dress. The senses betray.

Pedestrians were in awe while viewing a hole to the center of the Earth in downtown Manhattan. They knew it was a blue dress - a sidewalk painting that used perspective to trick their eyes- but it was incredible.

The advertisement for the fast-food hamburger was a blue dress. The burger looks completely different in reality.

2. Her date's appearance was a blue dress. He looked beautiful in white-light, and frightful in dim light.

3. The comedy act "Who's on first" is a blue dress. Few people even try to understand.

Devil With the Blue Dress

Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum
Look at molly now, here she comes
Wearin' her wig hat and shades to match
She's got high-heel shoes and an alligator hat
Wearin' her pearls and her diamond rings
She's got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything

She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Wearin' her perfume, chanel no. 5
Got to be the finest girl alive
She walks real cool, catches everybody's eye
She's got such good lovin' that they can't say goodbye
Not too skinny, she's not too fat
She's a real humdinger and i like it like that
She's the devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
Devil with the blue dress, blue dress, blue dress,
Devil with the blue dress on
("good golly miss molly" interlude:)
Good golly, miss molly
You sure like to ball
Good golly, miss molly
You sure like to ball
While you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't you hear your mama call
From the early, early mornin' 'til the early, early nights
See miss molly rockin' at the house of blue lights
Good golly, miss molly
You sure like to ball
While you're rockin' and rollin'
Can't you hear your mama call
