Pink is a gentle and soft color. It is playful and feminine but it can be worn by the toughest of guys or be given as an unwanted nickname in a famous Tarantino movie called "Reservoir Dogs".

Pink is the color of Easter and of newborns and of the skin of those pale people who have spent too much time in the sun. Pink is not threatening and is only associated with femininity in certain cultures. The manliest of men can wear pink without any need of ridicule as it is the color of the rich, the playboy.

Don Johnson, who once smiled at me in Los Angeles as he walked by, could wear pink on Miami Vice and still be tough on bad guys who were smuggling coke across South Beach. Pink is the cousin of red and the friend of white. All colors have their pinks in anything labeled "light..." like "light-green" or "light-blue".

Really, pink is just very light red. Code Pink, a women's anti-war activist organization is nothing but gentle on American and western war criminals and has led the way in terms of outting and heckling some of the worst offenders from the last decade from here and abroad. They represent the toughness that lay within women that can lead the way, above and beyond any other group, in keeping vigilant against those who murder innocents all over the world.

But, they especially keep tabs on making sure the Bush administration is not forgotten with public stunts in red-painted hands calling Condeleeza and Rumsfeld and crew out for having blood on their hands.

Molly Ringwald certainly was Pretty in Pink and "pretty" is an apt term for this color when it is put on little girls or boys at an age near birth.
