Am I being cynical by thinking they're jumping on the breast-cancer-awareness marketing wagon? (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/pandora-young/the-pink-ribbon-marketing_b_760696.html#s154426&title=undefined)
I had that same cynical thought. I struggle with pink (not for its identity with awareness, that's a good thing). I was frequently dressed in pink when I was a child, and I grew to loathe it. I've been reclaiming a relationship with it this past year.
I don't ever remember being dressed in pink... maybe I'm blocking it. I did dress Julia in pink, but once she started talking (around 9 months!), that was the end of THAT. I'm trying a bit of pink here and there in my life now, though, just to push myself out of my comfort zone. I made a pair of heathered pink wrist warmers for an elderly friend who died a year later, and the family sent them back to me... I've actually become quite fond of them. Who knows? Maybe this old dog is learning a new trick...

ReplyDeleteEh. Probably.
