Oh, got it. I thought Facttion was a typo!
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I was OK with the color pink until the last semester of high school. Then I discovered The Cure and The Smiths and Sisters of Mercy, and dyed my hair red, and also discovered -- or rather, let free -- my inner sarcastic bitch. Since I was bullied for being a geek for years, I associated pink with the weak kind of femininity, and that I decided, was not the woman I wanted to be.
Years passed. I have my flaws, my weaknesses, as does everyone, but I became known as a strong woman, a touch chick. A guy I had a crush on called me a "gladiator" -- he meant to be flattering, but since I had a crush, I was taken aback.
My nickname, among my close friends, is "Captain," because I am a take-no-shit, take-charge woman. I'm forty-two years old now. I AM a strong woman. But I have made my peace with pink. It doesn't lessen my strength or turn me into a stock-character fainting damsel in distress. I look GOOD in pink.
And for my forty-third birthday, I am going to get my fifth tattoo: "Captain."
In pink ink.

Hah. I thinks that's a feeling most women can empathize with, there. I started wearing jewel tones and other dark colors when I realized how restricting pink and other pastels felt. Especially since the pinks you could find back in the 70s all tended to be baby pinks, not bright pinks or darker rose pinks which flatter my complexion.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Shopping for baby clothes when your own girl is on the way is an eye-opening experience. It’s not just about the pink. Although, you’ll see pink in every shade. You know those onesies are for a baby years away from being able to reading, but you have to ask yourself about the messages they’re sending out. The blue onesie says “future lawyer”; the pink onesie says “future trophy wife”. The blue onesie says “future heartbreaker”; the pink onesie says “I’m not allowed to date, ever.” There is no blue companion to the pink onesie that says, “I hate my thighs”.
