Colour me beautiful.....
THIS IS THE COLOUR PINK, NOT THE CURE FOR BREAST CANCER.
Just saying
Thank you! I have long been slightly pissed about this pink for breast cancer thing, but how utterly un-PC to dislike something that people who are sick identify with? I find it quite sexist frankly. What if a girl/woman with breast cancer likes green? Or yellow or read or black? Sheesh, why does pink still (this long after 1950) have to be a female color? Becky
