in this day and age, when women are reclaiming the right to be girlie, pink has made a huge comeback. wait a minute. thats not quite right. pink never really went away. but pink is becoming huge now. i mean, how often did you see pink leopard print in the past?
now i, of course, think that pink the most atrocious color in existence. yes, i vehemently hate orange, but something about pink has always made me want to hurl. why must such a horrid color be associated with girls? blue is much calmer color, but it belongs to boys. ive always preferred blue. or even red. now red is a great color. but the watered down pastel version of it is the color that girls wear. red is too strong for girls; red is worn by the harlots. well, okay, thats not the case anymore. but pink is still in there!
i see so many girls now embracing the color pink. everything must be pink. everywhere i go, there are women in all sorts of pink things. yes, its good to take the things traditionally used to represent girls (back when they were considered weak/meek/sweet) and give it a new, i am woman hear me roar twist (such as the pink leopard print), but i just cant get on the pink bandwagon. simply because the color pains my eyeballs.
maybe i just hate pink because i cant wear it. it makes me look all weird and washed out. something about pink disagrees with my skin tone. pink is a very blonde color. and since im not a pale blonde, it doesnt work for me. but then, blue doesnt work for me either. it also makes me look strangely ill. but i love blue. i just dont wear it. this makes me wonder is pink is such a popular color in asian countries? color schemes are always different everywhere you go. i know that the chinese get married in red. it does not mean harlot there. maybe pink isnt such a hot baby girl color there either. im living in the wrong country. or maybe this country just needs to stop talking about melting pots and supporting non-white people and start soing it.
i should do a whole other section on racial issues. ooo, fun.
