I know I am a bazillion years late writing this (bazillion years, one week, same thing) but here is my take on this silly Internet debate. Do you see the dress as blue and black (like me) or white and gold? Enjoy!

Lindir walked out of his room happy for once. He had his butterfly net in hand and was looking forward to enjoying the beautiful sunny day in his new robes.

"Hey Lindir!" called Legolas.

'Oh great,' thought Lindir. "Yes?" he asked aloud.

"Are those new robes? The blue and black look hideous together on you," Legolas stated.

"These robes are white and gold. I have no idea what you are talking about," Lindir said, and started to walk away. He was in too good of a mood to let Legolas ruin it.

"No they aren't! Did you even look in your mirror?" Legolas asked rudely.

"Yes I did, as a matter of fact. Did you? It looks like you forget to put in your contacts again. Your eyes are looking a little brown," Lindir argued.

"I do not wear contacts! My eyes are naturally blue!" Legolas was lying, and Lindir knew it.

"That's what they all say," Lindir said, as he finally was able to slip away as Legolas ran to look in the mirror.

There were many butterflies out that day, and Lindir had a great time catching them. It was his favorite pastime. After a while, Lindir had forgotten about his conversation with Legolas. Catching butterflies can occasionally give him short-term memory loss.

"Hey Lindir!" Elrond called.

"Yes Lord Elrond?" Lindir asked.

"Are those new robes?"

"Yes they are. I had them made in Lothlorien," Lindir explained.

"The white and gold suits you," Elrond stated.

Before Lindir could thank him, Glorfindel and Erestor walked up.

"Those robes are blue and black," Glorfindel pointed out.

"No they aren't! They're clearly white and gold," Erestor said.

"First- they're blue and black, and second – they're ugly," Legolas said as he showed up out of nowhere with bluer eyes than he had that morning.

"When Galadriel gave them to me, she said the white and gold would look good on me," Lindir stated. No one listened.

"They may be ugly, but Lindir's robes are most definitely not blue and black." Elrohir said as he and his twin joined them.

"Yes they are!" Elladan argued back.

"Blue and black!" Legolas, Glorfindel, and Elladan shouted.

"White and gold!" Lindir, Elrond, Erestor, and Elrohir shouted.

"BLUE AND BLACK!"

"WHITE AND GOLD!"

"It's four against three!" Erestor pointed out.

Suddenly, everyone was fighting. Lindir started hitting Legolas with his butterfly net just for the fun of it. Then Legolas took the net from him, and started hitting everyone who said the robes were white and gold with it. This unfortunately included Elrond.

"Enough!" yelled Elrond, and all of Imladris heard. Everyone stopped fighting and went back to what they were doing. Well, except Lindir.

Lindir, distraught from being separated from his butterfly net, went temporarily insane and fled the scene. He ran to his room, crashing into several things on the way, and changed into different robes. When he left his room hours later he was sane again – or at least, as sane as the elf could be.

That is, until Legolas came by and said, "I like your yellow robes." Lindir slammed his head into the wall. His robes were purple.
