The New Evil: Pink


Nothing against Slimey (your new name m'dear, until you drop the Ms Floozy thing) but
Pink is emerging as the EVIL. This realisation came naturally to PP and I after a day of extreme Pink exposure at her house- via Bratz (horror of pink horrors) Mean Girls and PP's own aggressive use of the colour- encapsulated in her cyber-identity: the Pink Pistol.
The Bratz colour condemnation was most explicit- the chokingly bimboish Bratz wore any shade but pink, thereby apparently claiming some measure of street-cred. These preposterous, and literal, dolls then have the gall to mock a pair of equally airhead girls as fashion victims- because their dresses are PINK. But that's just a taster. We then cut to the Arch Enemy of the piece: fluffy pink incarnate. And she's terrifying, a power-hungry, pink-loving empress of evil. At least that was the impression I got before escaping the lunacy of that film.
Then in Mean Girls it's also very simple: wear pink=enter b**** world
Nanny Mcphee takes a slightly different but no less negative attitude towards the colour pink. The vulgar, grasping widow dresses and decorates lavishly in shocking pink, reflecting her crassness and tastelessness. It's bold- too bold.
One last example and I need only one word: Umbridge.

Case closed?
