Story behind the "Red O"

Hey guys-
 
I'm sure this has probably been posted before so sorry in advance for any repeat post!
 
What exactly is the story behind the "Red O" in the second Goo on the let love in album and all other "let love in" related apparel (tour tees, hats, etc.)?
 
Or is it just random?  
 
Thanks goo Lovers!

I would ask Nicole, she knows everything. (If she doesn't know, I'm sure she will make it up)

We talked about this at length when the CD first came out and nobody had a real concrete answer. I did dig up the old thread so you could read through the discussion. There were some very good suggestions if I remember right.

I was just about to say "hey, I don't make stuff up!", then I read the thread Shannon posted.  I still stand by that theory...

I think it's just supposed to be fashionable or something.  It creates balance without it all being one boring color.

It also causes crazy people to change their perfectly good screen names to variously-colored O's.  :dunno:
 
yes, answer that and stay fashionable. hmm...

The red o, originally nmf016, was born on a cold and snowy December night...
 
Oh, so no one wants the story behind this red o?  Okay...

She went home, laid around until she could walk, did stuff, and eventually discovered the internet.  It was all downhill from there.  nmf016 changed her name to the red o, joined a cult, and started posting ridiculous paint artwork.  Friends and family have attempted numerous interventions.  The end.
