For today's Sunday Selections,
a blog hop party of photography challenges
hosted by River of Drifting Through Life --
I'm fulfilling the Colour of the Month prompt
provided by Charlotte of MotherOwl's Musings.
This month's colour is Electric Rose.
Here's what I found around my place
to fulfill the colour prompt.
1. Household Bucket and Tai Chi Fan
The household bucket is kind of self-explanatory, LOL.
My tai chi fan has a beautiful pink peony on it.
Here's the fan opened wide for a better view.
Back in the day when I was doing an extensive tai chi practice,
I used this in a "tai chi kung fu fan" routine.

2. T-shirt and Nightie
I don't usually wear a lot of pink
(too girly-girl for me), so these are
the only two clothing items I have in that colour.
I never attended or got a degree from the U of A,
but I worked there for quite a few years in a legal think tank.
I love the pink (and black) kitties on the nightie!
Its background colour is actually a very light pink too,
but it doesn't really show up in the photo.
This nightie is as old as the bloody hills
but I keep holding on to it for some reason.
Oh, who am I fooling? KITTIES!

I love pink, too 💗
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures 💖
...Debra, when I was in the nursery business I had a customer who would ask what color pink is this. And I would say 78 on the pink scale. There sure are a bunch of colors out there!
ReplyDeleteI love this color! I know this as "opera pink". That fan is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I didn't like pink but now I enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI don't think we have any pink in the house or in our clothes. I'll have to search ....
ReplyDeleteLove your bucket!
ReplyDeleteOf course I had to look up the tai chi kung fu post! Lethal!
Those truly are some Electric pink items. I like that fan, even if it's not a real Japanese Killer Fan ;)
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, I have precious little in that deep shade of pink, oddly, mostly mop and brush handles. I am guessing that the mops originally came in both blue and pink, but the blue ones sold out, so it was the pink ones or nothing. Pink mops are actually kind of insulting. How many women feel dainty and feminine because they can use pink mops while scrubbing the floors?
ReplyDeleteFor lighter pink shades I have even less. One or two book spines (red ones often fade to pink) and, like you, a bucket--not one that I bought but one that was already in this apartment when I moved in. Oh, wait. I checked my spreadsheets, and I do have one antique pink object, which I will email to you.

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- Thanks for the photo you sent. I agree, it's lovely and would look great on a picture gallery wall!
DeleteI have a pink sweatshirt, a gift from Sweet bear.
ReplyDeleteI just realized that I have nothing pink.
ReplyDeleteFitting that February is pink. Either this or red.
ReplyDeleteMy ten-year old grandson has a jacket just that electric rose color and he loves it and wears it all the time. I think he is completely unaware that pink is associated with girls and if he does know that, he certainly doesn't care. I love that so much. I love him so much. I love his parents so much.
ReplyDeleteI have a sweater in that color. I get compliments every time I wear it, so the shade must suit my complexion.
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed that you have an electric Rose pink bucket in your house over that of the household of a drag queen!
ReplyDelete@ Mistress Maddie -- I do try to be cutting edge, LOL.
DeleteI have a light pink sleep shirt with kitties drinking lattes. My other favorite is a hot pink sleep shirt with white peace signs all over it. Really cute.
ReplyDeleteYeah pink has never been my color either for the same reason as you. I do like your fan. I have several myself. Have a very nice day today.
ReplyDeleteOlá Debra. Eu te confesso que só tenho uma peça, cor rosa. Grande abraço do seu amigo do Brasil.
ReplyDeleteDidn't dare wear that color in my formative years, "No, no young man, don't call attention to your gay mental illness." Purchased a Nike windbreaker in black, gray and a stripe of pink with pink bike shorts in the 70s, rode my bike to work and prompted a group of guys to yell FAGGOT! at me. Had suicidal thoughts that night. Today, in my old age, I'd wear that color from head to toe and tell the hecklers, "Bring it on assholes, it's just a color and I look fabulous, dahling."
ReplyDeleteThe mental harm we do to ourselves is often more destructive than the words and actions of others. Lesson learned the hard way.
@ Milleson -- Pink Power! I bet you'd look fabulous too.
Deleteoof, pink. Not my color either. I think the only pink I might have are the peonies in the yard. Love that you did tai chi - now that's something I'd love to try. Looks so meditative. Hope you're staying warm up there ... it is friken freeeeezing down here
ReplyDeleteI just looked around and no pink here, other than the pink top I bought last week and posted!
ReplyDeleteI get colours mixed up, I have a thing where certain colours look the same to me.
ReplyDeleteI like pink, but I prefer pastels. I usually don't like anything I think is gaudy. However, I have a silk blouse in that bright pink color. Love your fan.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
While I detest hot pink decor, I do wear hot pink shirts on occasion. Pastel colours wash me out, so I gravitate to brighter colours such as blue, turquoise or purple.
ReplyDeletePink kitties are the best. I too don’t have much in the colour pink.
ReplyDeleteIf I wear it. I feel like a giant lollipop
What a fun idea/challenge. I’m going to have a look around the house for electric rose. I hope to be surprised.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER seen a household bucket in that gorgeous pink, if I had I would have bought a half-dozen of them. I love the kitties on the nightie and now remember a pair of pyjamas I had that would fit the colour but sadly they became cleaning rags years ago. An electric pink t-shirt would clash wth my too-pink-too-often cheeks, so I stick with cooler colours or black.
ReplyDeleteI just watched the Tai Chi Kung Fu Fan rutine and I am so impressed that you learned that. I did a few weeks of Tai Chi several years ago and found it relatively easy, but had to quit, there were too many women in the class and too many who were much taller, it got difficult when stepping and having someone tall right up in my business.
ReplyDeleteI have always associated February to the color pink
ReplyDeleteDear Debra, I feel the same way about the color Electric Rose as you do – there aren't many girly pink options here. (Although, in a moment of courage, I once bought both a pink shirt and a pink skirt. But I don't wear either of them very often 😉) Your Kitties nightie is very cute; I would keep it too 😻.
ReplyDeleteAll the best from Austria, Traude

I find shocking pink too sharp for me 😊
ReplyDeleteI loved this very pretty fan 🥰
T shirt is cool,yes even I find it hard to imagine you in pink because of your sold nature 🤗
Found your nightie interesting 👍
I had a pink phase a decade or two ago, mostly because it looked good with my complexion. Now it's purple all the way!
ReplyDeleteLove the fan. I have a martial art fan (actually a couple of them) and love that they are 'hidden' weapons.
@ e -- Yikes! Don't cross you, eh? The Iron Fan!
DeleteI am so happy you posted your Selections! You found plenty of pink, while I have to look, it's scant here.
ReplyDeleteIt's odd but buckets such as these are usually in bright colors, at least, I've seen them.
ReplyDeleteI don't wear pink either or even red, guess I'm used to not standing out. I hear wearing bright colors such as pink lifts your mood.
The kitties in you nightie is cute, no need to throw it away.
Have a lovely day.
I support that color. With me, I don't wear it . You have to have it. It reminds of the beautiful colors of us. It reminds of me of being in the country .
ReplyDeleteIs it pink, is it magenta? Is it the color of tunas, when you are trying to make cactus jelly?
This color has so many associations.
I think it is a fugitive. It is always welcome.
My mom graduated first in her class from the University of Alberta. Love the shirt.
ReplyDeleteOn my palette it's "Opera pink"..bright and cheery!!
