The 'New Blacks' Pencils... Oh Yeah!

Gabe Pérez

24 Feb, 2012

They're not just pencils, they're… the NEW BLACK!!!

You know, the latest thing. Because regular yellow Number 2's are so yesterday. The New Black is all black - black graphite, black wood, black paint, black ferrule, black eraser, with ironic white imprints.

Having a roommate named Mom is the new black.
Underemployment is the new black.
Misspelling is the new balck.
140 characters or less is the new black.
D.I.Y. is the new black.
Upcycling is the new black.
Analog is the new black.
Tap water is the new black.
Hand-sanitizer is the new black.
In the red is the new black.
Hope is the new black.
El Nuevo negro is the new black.
