👚👛🧼International Day of Pink👚👛🧼

This day, often called Pink Shirt Day, came about in 2007 in Canada. Two students saw a fellow being bullied just cos he was wearing a pink shirt cos of its feminine association.

This has now become an anti-bullying day and it encourages people to wear pink.

So, today, we are going to look at the colour pink and see what a beautiful colour it actually is.

Pink conjures up memories of childhood and is a very nostalgic colour.

It is the colour of opposites, it can make us think of innocence and burning passion, and bright and hot pinks are associated with love, romance and lust.

If pink is your favourite colour, you are said to be loving, kind and sensitive. Your romantic view is said to give you idealistic standards and a sweet charming side which can make you a delicate and lovable individual.

Pink used to be a colour that was worn by girls, but not anymore. There are a lot of men that wear pink, and I personally see no reason why not.

I am not saying a word about this !!

In 1900-1930, boy babies were dressed in pink, the same as girls were dressed in blue. Let's face it, in those days, people were so poor that the 2nd child downwards got the cast-offs of the older ones, regardless of colour or what it was. It wasn't unusual to see a baby boy in a dress, either.

Fortunately, today, things have changed, and it is quite acceptable for both sexes to wear pink, and nothing is thought of it.

Many things come in pink: clothes, household fabrics, paint, shoes, makeup and even animals.

A lovely plant for the garden and such beautiful cut flowers.

To celebrate today, wear something pink, get a few friends around and have a pink-themed party, and don't forget you can get pink drinks as well.

So, do you own anything pink, and do you like it as a colour?
I think it is a very summery cheerful colour and do have some pink tops.
So today, let’s have some fun with pink, and in honour of the significance of the day, wear something pink.

All are welcome.
