SARGE, MAUVE & CHARLIE

SARGE: Born - April 10th. Sarge comes from a small military camp just outside of Effingham, Illinois. He belonged to the local Captain who lost his eye in a paperclip accident.

MAUVE: Born - April 11th. Mauve is named for the color mauve. It's just such a funky name and you don't hear it very often, not to mention, a really cool color.

I think Charlie regrets his choice of being plaid now as the trend did end. Fear not though, as all trends do, it will come back "in" at some point and perhaps Charlie will win the award again.
