I don’t believe any lip shade is off-limits, but texture is key. A sheer lipstick in a healthy pink or neutral color looks more polished and grown-up than a super-shiny gloss.
I got introduced to Western music and it inspired me. One of my favourite bands is Pink Floyd.
She’s like a Barbie, then she wants to be a superhero, or coming out of a spaceship and everything’s pink. She makes a certain move that’s ghetto hood mixed with a little robot so its like I’m evolving Nicki Minaj and developing her style. She’s fearless, and I love her.
When I wrote ‘Pink Houses,’ nobody was talking about that, right? The next thing I know, you can’t see the TV without hearing commercials with ‘Listen to the heartbeat of America,’ or ‘Born the American way.’ That whole America thing now – I hate it.
Pink is the color of strength, a color of conviction, a color of decision making.
Harbour Island in the Bahamas is beautiful, with turquoise water and pink sand.
Everybody was starting to grow long hair and wear pink suits and purple glasses and stuff and then, I suppose, some people thought we were crazy, but we weren’t really crazy because we’re all still here!
My parents told me I’d point to a bed of flowers and say ‘Pink. Pretty,’ before I knew any other words.
I was the kind of reader in smudged pink harlequin glasses sitting on the cool, dusty floor of the Arrandale public library, standing at the edge of the playground, having broken a tooth in dodge ball, and lying under my covers with a flashlight.
I have as much pink as you can have. I love to see other women in pink. It’s good for every shade of skin and hair.
I’ve never been a huge Zeppelin fan, much to the chagrin of everybody else in my former band. But certainly those Pink Floyd records, I was really into them, especially ‘Dark Side of the Moon.’
I went through this phase where I thought pink and purple matched. To dance class, I’d wear purple tights and pink leg warmers and paint my shoes purple. It was really odd.
The 20th anniversary of my dad David’s death coincided with my 50th Test cap and for it to be my mum Janet’s birthday, too, made it an emotional few days. It was not an easy week, being the Pink Test and my mum having had breast cancer twice.
Long kurtas, especially the pink and yellow ones, that I had worn in ‘Big Boss 8’ – they are very comfortable to wear. You can wear them with a just a belt for your day outings or lunches for stylish and classy look. Or you can also team it up with a churidar and dupatta for an evening outing to look more classy.
I love how controversial pink is. Men still feel uncomfortable wearing pink. It’s ridiculous.
We only had white socks in Romania. But when I used to come back from the States, I used to bring back pink and yellow socks with all kind of designs, and hair clips and elastic bands for the ponytail that had colourful designs.
We’ve always described our sound as a bit more guitar driven than normal pop music. Kind of Pink in a boy band form. We’ve heard a few people say that so now we use it. I think Pink is amazing person to be compared to.
I wear a lot of black, but not in the goth way, I just really love black. I’ll never be in pink or purples.
‘Pink’ is the turning point in my career. It just changed everything for me overnight.
Personally, I’ve always liked movies about big diamonds, like ‘Pink Panther’ and ‘The Thomas Crown Affair.’ I’ve always found those films really interesting, and they have a good energy about them, which I like.
I love the color pink. It makes a bold statement.
When I talk about rock n’ roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then – a different world.
I used to be obsessed with Pearl Jam, but I love having pink hair and kind of looking like a Barbie.
I stood in line for ‘Pink Friday,’ like crazy for Nicki.
I’ve constantly tried new things, even as a child, and have always been obsessed with pink. Now I’m just a little more ladylike and fearless. You should never feel afraid to become a piece of art. It’s exhilarating.
I fell off my pink cloud with a thud.
In 1978, when I thought of creating a flag for the gay movement, there was no other international symbol for us than the pink triangle, which the Nazis used to identify homosexuals in concentration camps. Even though the pink triangle was and still is a powerful symbol, it was very much forced upon us.
I would love to take more risks – have pink hair – but it doesn’t look right on me.
I had never seen the classics with Molly Ringwald, like ‘Pretty in Pink’ or ‘Sixteen Candles,’ or ’80s horror, like ‘Poltergeist,’ ‘Close Encounters,’ and ‘Nightmare on Elm Street.’ I went back and watched all of those.
I’ve changed the way I look a bit but not intentionally. I’ve cut my hair. I’ve got a bit of pink in it and lately I’ve become a bit monochrome, wearing a lot of black and white.
I played, like, a year of piano until I learned the ‘Pink Panther’ theme. That was my goal. Once I was good enough, I quit. Now my music has to have some rock.
Miami is just really fun whenever I go there. It’s like this post-apocalyptic Barbie world: everything is pink, and there’re palm trees everywhere. But then there are also all these people in crazy sunglasses, warehouses with sick parties where all the girls are covered in spikes and black leather. It’s a very weird place.
Baseball is a red-blooded sport for red-blooded men. It’s no pink tea, and mollycoddles had better stay out.
I’ve worn my share of leopard pink boots to premieres or belts the size of cars. I thought my pink leopard boots were so cool.
A piece that is extremely close to my heart is a gold ring with bouts of mint and baby pink that my grandfather gave to my mother and she passed it down to me. What’s sweet is that it has my grandparent’s name on the flipside.
My house really is purple and yellow and hot pink and light green and orange.
We won’t be different for different’s sake. Different is easy… make it pink and fluffy! Better is harder. Making something different often has a marketing and corporate agenda.
A good designer has technical knowledge – don’t treat her like someone who’s there to decide whether something should be pink or orange.
For those that don’t know much about ‘American Idiot’ or Green Day, just know that it’s my generation’s The Who’s ‘Tommy’ or Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall.’ It was an album that really spoke to a generation. The theatrical show encapsulates that feeling and brings it to an even wider audience.
I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.
I’ve watched almost six shows at the LIFW, and I loved Ranna Gill for her flowing white skirts with silver coins, Manish Arora’s hot pink drain pipe trousers and Rohit Bal’s superb finish.
Actually, it wasn’t on a set but we were on a shooting floor, we were doing the look test for ‘The Sky Is Pink.’ I walked on set and I saw Priyanka Chopra and I was like, ‘What just happened?’ Yeah, that was the first time I was smitten by all that she is and more.
International Women’s Day, if it is to claim any kind of political relevance, has to reject ladies’ Christmas consumerism and lowest-common-denominator universalism. Look beyond the pink beer and pyjamas; as feminists we need to be concerned with payslips and passports.
The late 80s was quite a difficult time for me as an artist because I’d almost become a parody of myself. All people wanted was pink hair and for me to sing ‘I Want to Be Free.’ There’s nothing wrong with either of those but people need to see you as a person for you to be an artist.
I have the most dreadfully appalling eyesight. I’m really shortsighted and have been since I was about five. I was the speccy girl with the pink National Health glasses. That’s my physical vulnerability, and I wish I could put it right, but I can’t – even with surgery.
Pink is my favourite colour. I used to say my favourite colour was black to be cool, but it is pink – all shades of pink. If I have an accessory, it is probably pink.
Back in the day, I had this fluoro pink hoodie that I thought was the coolest thing ever. Left it at a party and never saw it again. Probably the best thing that could have happened.
Pinkville was called Pinkville because in the military maps, it was shaded a bright kind of shimmering pink, which signified what was called on the maps a ‘built up’ area, which was extremely misleading – ‘built up’ only meant there were little villages and it wasn’t just desolate paddy land or unpopulated.
Pink cocktails look quite friendly. They have an umbrella in them, some sort of fruit… they look innocent, and boy, do they pack a punch.
For artists, looking back in time for ideas is commonplace, but there’s an overwhelming sense of ’70s and ’80s nostalgia in California musician Ariel Pink’s music. It’s impossible to separate ‘Round and Round’ from the anachronism, and there’s no loving one without loving the other.
My mother raised me right – everything from Fleetwood Mac and the Doors to Pink Floyd and so on and so forth.
The second draft is on yellow paper, that’s when I work on characterizations. The third is pink, I work on story motivations. Then blue, that’s where I cut, cut, cut.
