<p><strong><span style="color: white;">I think</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">Pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">has possibly become my new favorite color.&nbsp; The</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pinks </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">of sunset, the</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">of my hair.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">I've always loved the classic look of black and</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">together...I would love to do a whole room (in the dollhouse no doubt!) with a black and</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">room...yes, maybe even with polka dots!</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">Pink represents</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;">Breast Cancer.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;">Pink</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">is the symbol for</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;">little girls</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;">.</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #ff66cc;"> </span></strong></p>

<p><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">Pink. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">It's good to be</span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">Pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">I think.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">We, as women,</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">bleed Pink. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">We feel a sensitivity, a need, a desire to wrap up the hurts of others in our arms and blow softly our </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink kisses </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">until it's all okay again.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">We are strong and powerful and passionate and so fucking smart.....we handle the toils and troubles of life...we balance children that we carry in our wombs and suckle at our</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink nipples, </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;" lang="EN">we carry the badges of honor that those stretch marks </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">leave raked across our bodies and in time...they turn </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">We kiss boo boos and skinned knees and wet cheeks with our</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;">pink</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN"> lips.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">We rant and rave and scream at the injustices of the world....and eventually, our anger turns from red to</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink. </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">And the storms pass and all that is left is the </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">pink </span></strong><strong><span style="color: white;">of the sun setting over the horizon. And when that new day arrives...it arrives in a brilliance of </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">Pink.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: white;">I think if you were to cut me open...you would find that</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">I</span></strong><strong><span style="color: #181818;" lang="EN"> </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #cc0066;" lang="EN">bleed Pink.</span></strong><strong></strong></p>
