Pink Blog

So it turns out that “Barbie pink” is a real color. Specifically, PMS 219, where PMS is Pantone Matching System. Yup, the people who Do Colors have set the official Barbie color. You can pre-order the doll now for $52.99. (via chipchick)

Some see pink breast cancer awareness stuff as counterproductive gimmickery

Hmph. Needless to say, we at PinkBlog (okay, there’s just one of me) do not feel the same way.

Finally! The famous ModKat litter box is now available in pink! You can pick up the exclusive limited edition at Fab.com for $160 – that’s $40 off the regular retail price, and this one benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation. What’s really great is that if you google for “modkat pink” you will see that people have been clamoring for a pink ModKat box for a long time…and now they have one!

I’d like to point out that I do not make money from any of the posts here. There are ads in the sidebar and that’s it. I just found out about Oh So Pink which has a lot of pink stuff, but I noticed that every single product link has an affiliate tag. I find that unclassy, to only post stuff you can make money from…I could do all kinds of stuff if I just went through websites that offer affiliate links and posted from there, but I’d rather post stuff that is actually cool and can interest my readers, not just stuff for money.

I wonder if Angelyne reads this blog? This was her house, up for sale a couple of months ago. According to Curbed LA, it went for almost $600,000!

You probably don’t remember this post from 2007, about a Japanese-only pink Sony Vaio. At the time, there were few computers out there that were pink – now there are a ton of them. And now that includes a Vaio for the U.S. This one checks in right around $500…I guess even full-size laptops are really dropping in cost these days! Get the rest of the scoop over at ChipChick.

I’m not an iOS user, but if you are, check out PinkyDo – a suite of apps all in pink. I do mean all in pink! There’s currently a secure data manager (for photos, contacts, etc that you don’t want other people to see) and a to-do list manager.

Power Support has four pink HK iPhone cases for $40 each. Seems pricey for a case, no? I paid that much for my OtterBox, but I can drop my phone on the floor now.

In the realm of super-classy, we have Exhibit A: the $25 Playboy Goblet. It has bonus bling around the rim and stem. I’m not sure I get the fetishization of Playboy as a brand…maybe you can scrape off the bunny?
