Pink Panache

[Lorc]

I wonder if it's possible to find a pink web belt and combat boots for that real Punk look!

[canawler]

Not quite boots but here's what I came up with:

Panache, I thought of this for your wife, when I saw it.

It is a t-shirt that says, "If real men wear pink, and real men wear kilts, do real men wear pink kilts?"

Pink Kilt T-Shirt

Of course you could always order the same saying, but from my wife. This is the design I wore for the Breast Cancer 3-Day with my actual pink kilt.

Way cool!

It seems to have shrunk in the last decade (yes, he used to be even skinnier than he is now! The heart surgery he had seems to have improved his health to the point where he actually puts on weight).

Be well,

Seriously? What did you do to him?

Q: For a redhead, what's the fastest way to a man's heart?

A: Through his ribcage!

'Nuff said?

Yesterday, I had to pass an emergency call to a co-worker to call home. When he made the call, he found out that his adopted daughter's husband had just been killed in a car accident. The victim was also a co-worker. As he is telling me what has happened, he is crying. Behind him is another co-worker who is tossing paper and stuff onto the bereaved's head. Another guy and myself were trying to give eye signals to "get lost" but they weren't being picked up on. Finally, the bereaved guy turned and glared and went away.

Had to tell the other guy that he was being a clod, he's a good guy but his timing was real bad.

The good thing (?) is that the two guys had a good friendship base so the second guy went right over and apologized all over the place and they made up.


There's a lesson here.

The start of the female gendering of pink (and exclusion from the male wardrobe) in America and parts of Europe is no earlier than the 1940s or 1950s.

String gets her history geek on
Actually I would trace it back to Gainsborough's paintings Pinky and Blue Boy in the 1790s. They were very controversial because he reversed the children's color roles. It started a fashion of dressing children in those colors among the "artsy" crowd. For adults however, there were very little distinction among masculine and feminine colors and fabrics during the 18th and 19th century.

However, that is the extent of what I know on that particular culture and costuming history question. Personally, I despise pink and have refused to wear it since I was 5.

Pink is fine for male clothing. However, you have to go by your color types, like the season skin type. Some people should stay away from pink at all cost.[QUOTE=string;457496]

That MacWalmart looks a bit like Thompson Camel, or the tartan Burberry uses, except pink.
