"My colors are blush and bashful"

So I know we just had a mommie gem, but this one is much better than the last one. Also I don't have time to write you anything good today. I'm have to face the fact that I'm going to flunk out of school unless I can get my act together and do a great job on the three assignments that are due this week.

Plus, Streets is coming to visit me on Friday and we're going to London (yay, London!) to see Ewan McGregor in Guys and Dolls! This is because life is good right now, even if it is fixing to kick me in the pants. And by pants, I mean trousers. Not underwear. Sickos.

So here's a very funny email I received once from my mom when I told her I'd been asked out on a date. Clearly, I wasn't telling her this often enough, because once I did she pulled out the big guns.

Ahem:

Now, don't laugh, it's just an idea, but I read somewhere yesterday that pink is a sexy color because it's very feminine and it makes you look vulnerable, which in turn makes men feel protective. What this has to do with sex I have no idea, but it might be worth a try. NOT that you want to have sex, but that they might notice you and get some intense personal longing to love and protect you. Okay, fine, you can stop laughing now. I'm only thinking of you. But if you have something pink, you might try it, consider it an experiment in human something-or-other.

And then I laughed my head off and told her that I would be putting that up on the Internet someday. So if any of the ladies out there have stories of the ways in which the color pink got them some action, I'm sure we would all love to hear it. Gentlemen, you are likewise invited to share stories of the times when the color pink made you develop an intense personal longing to love and protect its wearer.
