Marissa and Yahoo--it was meant to be

Somehow in this crazy universe, Yahoo's purple was meant to be Marissa Mayer's--here's an excerpt from a story published several years ago:

The adventures of Marissa | Modern Luxury: "She is much livelier than you might imagine, and her clothes are anything but humdrum. For better or worse, Mayer is infatuated with the color purple, and she wears a formfitting deep-purple dress by C.D. Greene with small black mirrors that catch and reflect light. Together with the bedroom’s violet walls—replicated from one of her favorite cashmere sweaters—the look announces her love of eye-poppingly bright colors and Marimekko-type patterns. At 32, the phenomenally brainy and driven Mayer—Google’s first female engineer—has already been on the cover of Newsweek, which called her “one of the most powerful women of her generation.” Among tech insiders, she is well known for her laugh—a nerdy, rapid-fire tat-tat-tat that has been made into a YouTube mashup and is available as a ringtone."

Marissa is now 37--the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company!
