Hooray Pink – National Pink day

Hooray Pink

Thursday June 23, is National Pink Day. I didn’t make this up, ladies – it’s a real National Day! So Hooray Pink, you are the only colour with a National day of its own! You know I love pink, therefore I am celebrating too by wearing my pink bra and undies! Oh yes, and a pink top. And pink socks.  I almost forgot to mention my pink shoes!

Pink is more than just a pretty colour!

Dating back to the 14th century, “to pink” (the verb) means “to decorate with a perforated or punched pattern.” (as in pinking shears!)

Watch your language!

Here’s how PINK has entered our language:

In the pink – To be in top form, in good health, in good condition.
Tickled pink – means extremely pleased.
To see pink elephants – To hallucinate from alcoholism.
Pink slip – To be given a pink slip means to be fired or dismissed from a job.
Pink-collar worker – Persons working in jobs conventionally regarded as  “women’s work.”
Pink Money –   an economic term which refers to the spending power of the LGBT community.

How about wearing your favourite PINK bra, not matter what the shade on national Pink Day June 23? I know I will be! Hooray Pink!
