Just curious, because I don't know if it's from a collection, shade, or something more random. 
How'd you come up with your Specktra name?

And in addition...I don't get the 'I caught you a delicious bass' tagline; I'm sure it's a joke I missed. Someone please explain!

I guess it all goes back to soupsake needing to shut down her original MAC resource site for awhile. Then it became clear that there was no intent to bring the site back (as it once was). We (MUA ppl) had all respected her and her site immensely and it's loss was felt to all.
I had contacted soupsake asking to either purchase the site from her, or maintain the site as an archive so that all the valuble (to MAC addicts!) information would not be lost.
Chelsea was feeling the same, that the loss of soupsake was really devastating for MAC fans, and she also wanted to do something about it.
One night I saw Chelsea posting on MUA how someone else should start a new MAC resource and I IM'd her and was like "DUDE LETS DO IT". So the idea was born that we would collaborate on a resource site together and now you have specktra.
Chelsea and I were MUA buddies and that's how we knew each other, but she lives in Lethbridge, Alberta and I live in Kyle, TX so we have never met each other in person although we chat on the phone.
I don't know any of the mods personally except Jessica, who is my older sister. The rest of the ladies are souls that Chelsea and I grew to know and love after their participation on MUA/Specktra.
HTH!

No, I've not yet seen Napoleon Dynamite! It sounds like a hoot, my kind of hoot.
Specktra...interesting, I always thought it was similar to 'spectrum' as in the colour spectrum and thought, well, MAC's got an e/s for every colour under the sun so it was a fitting name.
You might've chosen the name randomly, but it works on many levels...serendipity...
It is a pretty nice board, I actually joined because I was seeking an alternative to MUA. Imagine, a year ago, I don't think I even owned any MAC and oh how this grasshopper has grown lol!
