Interestingly, Red October, the movie, has been playing recently. October 2008 may go down in history as Black October. I’m looking forward to days of green again, and they will come.

Colors and their representations have such an effect on us. I am enjoying the orange, red and yellows on the trees. You’re right…we don’t even see pink flowers blooming now.

Now, thinking about pink and orange, these two colors, in their deep, bright shades, are the hottest colors for branding right now. What to wear? For fun, do a search for “hot pink orange fashion” - wardrobe enhancements coming?

Thanks for the insight!

Now, that aside and the fact that I don’t disagree with the Pink for October goals, but does anyone have a problem with the color pink and October? I mean, couldn’t they have picked a better month? Don’t most people associate October with orange and yellow? The Pink Cancer cause should have picked a cold winter month (jan/feb/march) or a spring month! It’s just fashionably wrong to make October pink.

I just cannot in good conscience wear or display pink in October… unless someone blogs about ways to wear pink and orange fashionably. But i’ll give to the cause. :)

What’s Next? Meditating While Texting?:

I did learn a lot by researching the cause and how people effectively go pink for October. Individually, we can do a lot on our own as well. Yes, giving money to a reputable organization may be on of the best ways.

I just learned about, PinkforOctober.org, a site that discusses the online pink for October movement and displays some cool pink graphics & buttons: http://pinkforoctober.org/downloads/

But seriously, my time is precious and I’d rather just give money than save little foil lids and take the time to mail them in. Sort of a silly way to do fundraising.

Thanks for this post, Dana, you made me think of a lot of ways to help with breast cancer awareness.
