Women and pink (P!nk)

Just read an article by Posie Rider in one of my favorite blogs (thefword), who went to buy a laptop.

On a mission to buy a new laptop, Posie Rider found that manufacturers and sales staff believe the best way to get women to buy a laptop is to make it pink.

Delightful musings and interesting investigation into the minds of marketeers (mousekateers?). Please read this whole article.


The only pink that I like is P!nk. I love her lyrics and her intensity: "how do I feel this good sober?" and " ....this used to be a fun house, but now its full of evil clowns"

Sober (some of the lyrics):

I don’t wanna be the girl who laughs the loudest
Or the girl who never wants to be alone
I don’t wanna be that call at 4 o’clock in the morning
‘Cause I’m the only one you know in the world that won’t be home

Ahhhh-Ahhh, the sun is blinding
I stayed up again
Oh, I’m finding
That’s not the way I want my story to end

I’m safe up high,
Nothing can touch me
Why do I feel this party’s over?
No pain inside
You’re my protection
But how do I feel this good sober?

Funhouse(some of the lyrics):

I dance around this empty house
Tear us down
Throw you out
Screaming down the halls
Spinning all around and now we fall

Pictures framing up the past
Your taunting smirk behind the glass
This museum full of ash
Once a tickle
Now a rash

This used to be a funhouse
But now it's full of evil clowns
