My favorite color. Got bras, panties, nightgowns, jammies, tank tops, and shirts all in pink.

I've always loved pink and everything close to it like Lavender and I adore my purple.
Give me anything from a soft light pink, through "in your face" blinding pink, pale lavender to Royal Purple and I'm a happy gal.
How all this translates to my dressing I don't know and don't really care. I just love these colors and always have.
I don't wear women's clothes, I wear MY clothes !
Colours go in and out with the fashions, but in general Jen, I think you're right - I rarely see GG's in pink. There's no pink in my SOs wardrobe, for example.
However, I have to disagree with your statement that pink is just for girls and CDs. I have quite a lot of pink in my male wardrobe: T-shirts, polos, work shirts (OK, I'm a CD, so maybe not a good exemplar of my statement!) and it's very common to see guys in the city wearing pink shirts for work (often teamed, to my dismay, with a pink tie).
It's reasonably common to see pink dresses at weddings I guess, or on GGs glammed up for a night on the town, but for everyday wear, peach is probably about as close as you get.

Trends come and go. This spring, the hot colors in fashion seem to be deep red, and to some degree "coral", which is a type of pink.
While it is true that the traditional light pink may not be so much in vogue these days, darker pinks such as fuscia are still popular. I bought this dress just a month ago after the new spring lines had started to come out, and the color was described by the manufacturer as "raspberry" (with apologies to Prince). Sure looks like a dark pink to me...
For the record, I wore my pink dress shirt in drab today. I have had that shirt forever. When I had my CDing super repressed I still loved that shirt. I think it was because of my underlying situation.
I agree - I have a pink dress shirt which goes well with a navy colored suit. I also have a pink tie (which I wear with a white shirtOriginally Posted by jemima_bates
). While I do have some pink in my femme wardrobe, it's not my favorite color - purple is, which also was/is my ex-wife's favorite.
I'm with Cheryl I love all the colors between Pink and Purple as they look good with my skin tone. My wife has some pink in her wardrobe but she does wear more brown and oranges because of her hair color and skin tone.
I support Jen's hypothesis. I personally love pink, and I think -- actually, I know -- I gravitate toward it because it's part of my typical overblown TG ultra-femme approach; chasing an ideal that's been taboo for most of my life. My wife rarely wears pink on a daily basis, unless it's something in a subtle shade and only for a casual or non-business outing. However, pink is prominent in her lingerie chest, just as it is mine...
