Why Pink?

My favorite color has always been pink.  I absolutely love it; always have!  When I was young, my grandmother told me that that would not always be the case.  As in everything, my tastes would change even for my very favorite color.  For some reason, this really affected me.  I couldn't imagine, in my young mind, a time when I would stop loving the color pink.  So, I decided right then and there to always love pink...no matter what.  A weird pledge, perhaps, but there it was.  Considering my affinity for variety, this has been no small feat.  Some years back, Aerosmith had a song entitled "Pink."  When I first heard it, I remembered that conversation with my grandmother and it occurred to me that I still adore pink!  Some of the less suggestive lyrics of the song:

Pink is my favorite crayon, yeah
Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it´s like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right

More importantly, though, I named this "Pure Pink Think Tank" because the thoughts herein, my thoughts, are written from a woman's perspective.  The slant of my posts will be a feminine one and pink still seems to connote femininity or the female gender.  If you look close enough (or perhaps not even that close) gender bias will be evident.  This blog is dedicated to women, all things fun and girly, some things sensitive and serious, and to my very favorite crayon...carnation pink.
