 Pink. Tuesday, July 18, 2006 Say what you want but pink is a uniquely fun color...I wore a pink tie to work today. I am comfortable in my manliness...much like the male flamingo. I'm sure I've only been called 'queer,' 'fag,' and 'homo' a few dozen times today under the breath of a few not so in the know. Not much different than any other day I reckon. It's tough being pink. I ain't whining believe me, I could give a shit and when you were a punk in the early 80s you come prepared for name calling, the like most can't imagine in this day and age. Remember when having a funny haircut or weird clothes actually offended people to the point of violence? Of course, prejudices still survive and pink prejudice is one of those things that is taught from birth, boys blue, girls pink and never stray...so I guess today, in my own corporate world I'm being a rebel--with a pink tie from Target...yawn. I could go hang with all the hop-hippers with their 5XL pink tees and pink Yankees caps I guess...what is up with that by the way? And the prison white Reebok trainers? But who am I to judge I'm wearing biker boots with a pink tie to work. Anyhow. Enjoy the hues of this flock of flamingos. I got some good flamingo pictures...I'm saving a few for the Toy Camera collaboration--found objects. Humus, dip into some of my work there. And when you finish that adjust your f-stop. I need your Toy Camera works, shoot, submit. Comment (9) | Permalink |
