Growing up, one of my favorite movies was 'Pretty in Pink'. I wanted to be Molly Ringwald so bad!!! I even dyed my hair red at one point. Looking back i probably looked a little more like Ronald McDonald than Molly, but still to this day i harbor a deep, deep love for the color pink. Pink evokes romance, love, femininity and sweetness, and for me everything is just Prettier in Pink!
Some pink facts from wikipedia:
*In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s. From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary. Since the 1940s, the societal norm apparently inverted so that pink became appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.--- hmmmmmmmmmmm*Most flamingo species are pink in color due to pink pigments in their diet.
*Seeing pink elephants is a euphemism for drunken hallucinations. The concept was used in the Disney's animated film Dumbo when the title character accidentally becomes drunk and sees a parade of pink elephants
*A pink lady is an alcoholic beverage made with gin and grenadine syrup and may include other ingredients. A pink squirrel is made of white creme de cacao, creme de noyaux and cream.---mmmmm sounds yummy!BUT beware--see above!
*Pink Ladies was the name of Betty Rizzo's (Stockard Channing) gang in the film, Grease --another fantastic movie!!!!
*And of course the pink ribbon is the international symbol of breast cancer awareness. --- wear pink and support a cause- sign me up!
