Really? Wow, I've never heard of that interpretation. I know I have an article somewhere on flower meanings although I doubt it’s a popular practice nowadays (outside roses).

If you think that is true then I am rich!! All they did was just do colour schemes. jeesh

Is anyone able to list every episode/time where she is wearing something else besides that jumpsuit? I know that in April's Fool she wears a lavish ballgown but even that is in yellow (which really, really isn't her colour). I recall an episode where she was wearing a pastal purple type colour top it actually suited her...

At least they dressed her better in the movies.

Four Musketurtles she was wearing a dress. For some reason I remember the dress caused her to get stuck on something during the episode. Maybe that's why she always went with the reliable jump suit.

My opinion on the Yellow Suit... honestly, I like the color yellow; it's my favorite color in fact (I gave Seurat a white bandana rather than yellow, though, for two reasons: the shades of yellow I tried didn't seem to look right, and when they did look right, they looked either too much like Michelangelo or too much like MNT Gaiden's Renoir. I wound up picking white, since the only other white-bandana'ed turtle had blue - or should I say Azure? - skin, so there'd be no mix-ups. But I digress...). I think the color yellow served some pretty good purposes, though, for April. It made her stick out more, for one thing. As previously stated, all the Turtles got their own colors, and in a way, April has her own color (Perhaps she, rather than that kid Zack, should really be called the fifth turtle!), and it sticks out from the green better. I also agree with the statement that any other color might be a bit too sexy-looking for a kid's show (Imagine April's outfit in black... no way would they show that on children's programming. Okay, you can stop imagining April in black, now. Seriously, stop it. Hello? Anyone home...?).

Also, think of it this way; most reporters you see on TV wear bland, figure-hiding, professional-looking suits. Would April be better off in such an outfit? I doubt it.

I can't help but wonder what such an outfit would look like in real-life. Would it get the same reaction as we have to the cartoon version? Would the material it's made of make a difference? Would male viewers not care as much depending on how tight the outfit was? I think I know the answer to that last one, but otherwise, I'm not so sure. I will confess, I don't know much about fashion.

i actually prefferd her old suit then to what she looks like in the new show....

The continuous yellow jumpsuit fetish April had i fuss about little. Although, you question yourself for someone with a really good job, so why wear something like a suit? She did look better in the "April Fool" episode dressed as a princess, dressing in that yellow jumpsuit all the time is not that classy with her cleavage showing. Too much of that in real life makes you look like a bit of a slut.

<<Here's the hottest April, me thinks.

I'm a fan of the original outfit. While I did kinda get tired of seeing it episode to episode I have to admit I was mesmorized by her cleavage.

[Sage Ninja]

uh, I never noticed Aprils cleavage. That jump suit was really unfeminie on her, I liked the outfit she wore during the red sky arc of the series. Although a pair of jeans would have looked infinatly better on her than that mustard yellow pants...such bad taste
