Think Pink

So October is breast cancer awareness month and in lieu of wearing a giant pink ribbon on my bonnet I've compiled some fave examples of the shade. Please, please visit the Susan G. Komen foundation and make a donation to help moms, sisters, daughters, and friends everywhere. Thanks to my homegirl Mrs. B. for the call to action.


Pal Rebecca's photograph of my pink plastic toy Rolls.


Trident gum! (Bubblicious is for skanks.)


In the Pink: Dorothy Draper -- America's Most Fabulous Decorator (true story) by Carleton Varney and Dilys Blum's Shocking! The Art and Fashion of Elsa Schiaparelli. Those gals knew from pink.


L.A.'s salmon-striped Castillo del Lago, once a hideout for Bugsy Siegel and later home to Breathless Mahoney.


Pink peonies. So worth the ten bucks a stem on 28th street.


Gwen Stefani as a pink afro'd bride in the "Simple Kind of Life" video.



And of course Mugatu's 'carnation pink' satin living room. If I had a dollar for every poor soul who's asked what Benjamin Moore shade this is ...
