I'm always complaining about something
There's these girls at school who are always messing around on their laptops during class. I'm sure I've mentioned this before. I can always see exactly what they are doing because they sit five feet in front of me. Also, I like to snoop.
Lately they've been reading some blog, and it bugs the hell out of me. Most of the blog's content seems to be paparazzi pictures of celebrities , with snarky comments written in pink, all-capital military stencil letters. (You know, like in M*A*S*H.)
I am bothered mostly because the pink, all-caps is obnoxious. Like, really obnoxious. Also, it appears the site is written by a dude. What kind of dude uses a pink motif on his website? Who uses pink letters? I know I once waxed poetic about pink shirts, but that does mean it is appropriate to make pink your theme color.
In fact, I think that applies to girls, too. Pink is fine. But don't dress yourself exclusively in pink, especially if it's hot pink. It doesn't look right. Pink tracksuit? Keep walking, Britney and Britney's mom.
(Exception: a certain lady friend of mine, whom you may know, put on a very nice pink bunny outfit for Halloween. That was scrumptious. If she wants to wear it again, I would be quite satisfied. In that case, pink is good.)
I was reminded of this because I was at the gym today, doing battle with some guy on the running track. (He kept passing me, and I was like, no you don't, so I kept passing him.) As I was repeating my endless loop of laps, there were these two girls who were obviously friends doing some sort of stairclimber thing or some shit. They both were wearing blazing hot pink jackets and sweatpants. I was like, ugh! Too much pink! Must. Look. Away.
What was I talking about, anyway? Oh yes. That guy's blog. It's really quite ridiculous. You can check it out for yourself! Personally, if I need snooty celebrity gossip, I'll stick to the Defamer. They ain't no got no pink at all.
