Pink is not just a colour. Pink is a lifestyle choice.

My love for the colour pink has at times been taken a little too far. At one stage I even drove a pink car – Celeste may you rest in peace! If pink is ever an option then it is pink I go for. Pink digital camera, pink mobile (RIP too little baby), pink Ipod Nano, pink GHD (God of straightners)… I have even resorted to buying pink garbage bags and pink clothes pegs (hey they support breast cancer research alright!).

Slowly I have been making some minor progress in shedding myself of the pinkness. I guess my life is changing and I don’t want to be stuck in a rut of pink whilst showing no compromise. I do things in baby steps and one of those steps is allowing the classy act of black to come through in my major purchases. Given I am the type of person who stews way more over the purchase of a mobile phone then over an investment property, buying a black cell was a big deal for me. I know that eventually when the trusted PC gets traded for a new whiz bang Mac that pink will not be an option - I have accepted that it is just not appropriate.

Having said that I am having an extreme lemming for a pink watch at the moment and I really don't know why. My shopping ban is still in full force and I have not bought a single item of clothing since October 1st (so that would be a month!). This is unheard of progress at shopaholics anonymous. I don't even like wearing watches but maybe this ban is making me go loopy. I really hope Santa comes a little earlier with a bulky hot pink watch for me. I promise I have been a very very good girl most of the time!
