pink has soul ...
The shyest color and the boldest, pink has soul.
It's the color of the underside of a twilight cloud. A puff of cotton candy at a summer fair. The inside of a seashell. A baby's ear. The nose of a kitten.
The rose of a shy admirer. The blush of a flirt.
Signs of this pink renaissance: Custom-pink Vespas are one of the most sought-after transportation vehicles -- it's not a standard color, so many women are buying them white and repainting them pink. Pink watchbands were the rage last Christmas, from plastic Swatches to diamond-encrusted Cartiers ...
The sweet and playful side of pink makes it a signifier of fun and kid stuff. Bubble gum and strawberry milk shakes. Pink lemonade. Hello Kitty. Half the contents of a box of Good and Plenty.
Grown-ups learned to have fun with pink, too, in the form of sweet cocktails like Cosmopolitans or sloe gin fizzes, Pink Squirrel and Pink Ladies (gin, grenadine and egg white, shaken and strained before serving), pink champagne and rose wine.
In New Age color therapy and aura study circles, pink is said to be soothing on all levels, physical, mental and emotional.
