title: Accessing Rails Models or Helpers in SCSS
body: <p>I'm using Rails 3.1 and SCSS in the Asset Pipeline. Is there anyway to access Rails helpers or controller data in the SCSS file? Something like...</p>
  
  <pre><code>#main {
     background-color: #{current_user.preferences.background_color}
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I know I can set my own <code>$variables</code> but I'm not sure how I would populate them from the controller's data.</p>
