Rose Earphones

Meredith — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 04:57:25 +0000

I know nothing about earphones or earbuds or audiophile technology, but I think these are pretty cute. Many pink earphones are just pink bodies or have pink gemstones, but this is a slightly more unusual approach. They’re metallic-plated, kind of like those gold-trimmed roses you can buy. (Which are fabulous themselves, by the way.) Pick up the headphones for just $12 if you like.

Jill Stuart PSP

Meredith — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 19:50:32 +0000

The Jill Stuart PSP package is being released in Japan. US users can get a pink PSP from Amazon, but it’s kind of a bright pink. The Jill Stuart package is a lighter pink – they call it blossom pink – and it comes with a bunch of pink accessories. Well, it comes with a case and a cleaning cloth. The memory card, cables, and other stuff are still black. I’m sure you can find pink versions out there, though. And if you, like me, are wondering who Jill Stuart is – here you go.

Pink Hostel NYC

Meredith — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:12:10 +0000

New York City’s first women-only hostel is called Pink! It’s technically in a brownstone in Harlem, but the doors are pink (as you can see in the picture) and reportedly some of the decor is pink too. I’ve always thought the hosteling community was pretty friendly and you didn’t have to worry about safety, but obviously there is some concern – the Pink hostel uses safety as a selling point. I’m going to be staying in a NYC hostel in March, but I’m traveling with a guy, so I won’t be able to report on Pink. Too bad, I’d like to see it!

Pink’s Hot Dogs

Meredith — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:07:27 +0000

Originally it was just their family name – Mr. and Mrs. Pink and their hot dog stand got started in 1939. Today, though, Pinks Hot Dogs is a way of life…a pink way of life! The family members who operate the stand now have embraced pink as their color of decor, as you can see in this picture. They reportedly have some of the best hot dogs in L.A., and what delights me is that their menu includes a vegan dog! Officially it’s the “Patt Morrison Baja Veggie Dog” and comes with guacamole, chopped tomatoes, and chopped onions. But since they have the veggie dogs on site, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind putting something else together using one – like the grilled mushrooms and swiss cheese from the Mushroom Swiss Dog. This sounds so yummy, I wish I could get some!

Nobody Knows

This picture is from Picture is Unrelated, a blog about pictures that have no explanation but are definitely weird. I thought this was too cute to pass up!

Fake Hello Kitty G1

Meredith — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 16:50:37 +0000

When I saw this, I immediately went OMG WTF because I have a G1 and I try to keep up with its development. I hadn’t heard anything about this. It’s supposedly $500 from a site called Hello Kitty Phones, which claims to have modified it with a 7MP camera and the ability to play TV. Um, what? That ridiculousness, plus what looks like a badly done Photoshop job, makes me think this is a big ol’ fake.

Pink is Beautiful Series

Meredith — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:18:31 +0000

I happened upon this “Pink is Beautiful” campaign through a discussion of homoeroticism in sports. I thought I was clicking through to the Dieux du stade calendars, but instead it was the Stade Français general shop…with pink splashed all over it! In addition to the $30 Pink is Beautiful shirts, there’s a $75 pink v-neck sweater (picture saved for posterity here), several other pink items for men, women, and children, and – my personal favorite – the $120 pink jersey. Check it out, so gorgeous. I must have one!

I haven’t figured out yet why Stade Français is all about the pink, though. But isn’t it awesome?!

Awww

Mary Kay Vehicles

Meredith — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 02:09:35 +0000

I love sharing pink cars! I have seen TWO Mary Kay vehicles around town in the past two weeks. The first one was an SUV that drove down my street, turned around in the cul-de-sac, and left. As it approached, I wasn’t even sure it was pink, it was so pale…such a soft, soft pink! It certainly seemed pink but it was really hard to tell, very subtle. When it went back the other way, I saw the Mary Kay emblem – WOW! How many cosmetics do you have to sell to get the SUV? There’s also a very nice car, I saw one yesterday in downtown DC! By this point I could tell it was a Mary Kay car on site. The one or two other pink cars I’ve seen were a more obvious pink, but this strange pale pink is immediately recognizable as Mary Kay. Crazy, two pink cars in two weeks! They were awesome. You can find out more about Mary Kay’s “Career Cars” program here.

Old School HK

Meredith — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 01:45:02 +0000

Click the picture to check out the full glory of this old-school car with the badass pink paint job and Hello Kitty styling! This was reportedly found at a Wal-Mart in Louisiana. I used to drive a 1983 Chrysler that looked just like this…I should totally have tricked it out like this! I’ve actually always wanted to paint my car but I have no idea how to do that, so I just slap stickers on it all the time instead. But seriously, how cool is this car?
