Embracing all things pink.

When I was 18 my mum made me a pink birthday cake. I was horrible to her, how could she make me a pink cake? Of all the colours to pick!
As a young girl I’d had a pink bedroom, my best every birthday cake was a lovingly made pink fairy castle. But somewhere in my teenage years I developed a moody, goth-like demeanour that obviously, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, did not embrace pink.
My teens and early 20’s were pink wilderness years and it was only as I was reaching 30 that I started accepting that deep hidden secret that I had tried to deny for so long – I was a Pinky Girl at heart. So much so that my friends were required to join in with a Pinky Girl party – pink food, drink and clothes.
The PinkPlanet blog is part of a creative need to express my inner most pinky thoughts and a realisation that while I don’t need to be surrounded by everything pink, but a bit of pink goes a long way to making me feel happy. So my first new year’s resolution of 2010 is one that I know is going to be easy and fun to keep – to buy, make, research or photograph one pink item a month and share the pinky happiness with the PinkPlanet followers and I hope that you enjoy the pink too!
