Close your eyes-
hum a few notes and you will be transported to Paris
pink with cherry blossoms
Piaf's story from triumph to tragedy as France's most popular chanteuse
is chronicled in the movie LA VIE EN ROSE
MARINO COTILLARD
stars brilliantly as Piaf
February is the PINKEST Month of the year
Pink is everywhere..
and yet it's a color often misunderstood.

Don't think it's just for little girls...
|
... and sweet confections
Almost everyone looks good in pink .
Runway fashion trends for Spring 2012
though this babe would look good in anything
There is nothing sissy about pink.

...though they may not run out and buy one of these |

AUDREY HEPBURN |
In 1957 Audrey Hepburn starred in FUNNY FACE with Fred Astair
The fashion show sequence, with a wardrobe designed exclusively for the beautiful Audrey by Hubert de Givenchy, makes the movie worth watching.
Somehow even the incongruous pairing of Fred and Audrey as love interests works in this 50's romantic comedy.
KAY THOMPSON in the THINK PINK scene from FUNNY FACE
Home fashion follows the runway so expect to see more pink in interior design,
but skilled decorators have always used pink in sophisticated and chic interior design---
San Francisco Interior Designer JAY JEFFERS
credits this photograph with launching his carreer into high gear.
"I couldn't resist throwing this hot pink throw into an all white scheme."
POP !!!
INTERIOR DESIGN JAY JEFFERS
and another hot pink throw adds punch and actually helps the eye focus on the view beyond
In his own home Jay added a contemporary hot pink coffee table in a relatively traditional space, making it young and "happening." Jay says this was "during my David Hicks phase."
"I learned something during this project.
In some cultures pink has no feminine/masculine references.
Pink does not mean that it is soft or girlie... It's just about vibrancy."
'Hot Pink is the Navy Blue of India'

A young girl's room is anything but frilly in PINK
mixed with bold graphic dashes of black and white.
Since 1991 when the Susan G. Komen Foundation handed out PINK RIBBONS this has become the internationally recognized symbol for Breast Cancer Awareness. It symbolizes hope for the future and the general goodness of people and corporations.
