We have a musical pop artist known as Pink, we have musical icon Pink Floyd, we have a book by the tragically funny Carrie Fisher called Surrender the Pink (I've been dying to use that as a PS title but I think I might offend a hundred or so people... but it's catchy!). "Pink" is a song by Areosmith.
We have a great 80s movie by the late, great John Hughes, Pretty In Pink.Barbie is the quintessential pink item for little girls. Sex and the City made the perfectly pink drink, a Cosmo, completely hip and cool- and it's my favorite beverage.
And we can't forget Elvis and the pink caddy he bought for his beloved mama!How about the Pink Panther, that crime solving cat? Pink panties (I don't care if they're granny, hipster, thong or bikini!) are a must for every woman and who better to sell them than Victoria's Secret, the pinkest store in the mall- seriously!? Mary Kay Cosmetics are totally pink.
A most important pink ever, the pink ribbon is a symbol for cancer, most specifically associated with breast cancer and the Susan G. Komen 'for the Cure'!One of my favorite pinks- the Pink Ladies from Grease, led by Rizzo! Little Pink Slips is a novel written by Sally Koslow, who spoofed her own firing from McCalls magazine in this wicked novel! How about the Flamingo Hotel in Vegas (ya know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!) whose symbol is the PINK Flamingo? Pink sapphires are beautiful stones! And I could NEVER forget our Pink Saturday hostess, the blogging sensation, Beverly at How Sweet the Sound! And visit the super fab, classy, blog Pink and the City!
And there are so many songs with Pink in the title, but I'm including my all time favorite pink song ever. Damn, The Boss is a very, very bad boy, but I just love him! And I wish I could've found the actual video, but alas, I can only leave you with the lyrics so go ahead and sing along with this naughty little ditty- you know you want to-- "Pink Cadillac"!
Pink Lady,
Maggie Mae

I love your pinks! My oldest daughter loved the movie Pretty in Pink! I attended a March of Dimes Savins Babies Together Event and they had the pink Cosmos coming through a beautiful swan ice sculpture. I wish I had a camera. My drink was perfectly pink and icy cold! Have a sweet weekend! Colorado Hugs to You! Anne

Happy Pink Saturday. I love Pretty in pink. One of my favorite movies!! Have a wonderful weekend! Winona
I think you covered Pink Pop Culture very well. Enjoyed it all, especially Elvis' pink caddy...my Daddy had one just like it. What a Hoot!!! Although, not really Pop, but Pink...our hospitals in Texas have PINK LADIES who are volunteers and angels in Pink Striped Aprons serving those in need! Thanks for visiting CollectInTexas Gal.

Hi Maggie I love that Elvis and his pink caddy. I was 15 when he came into my life and I still love to listen to that wonderful voice of his.

I loved all the reminicing about the pinks. Elvis was an icon that will never be topped. He's always been my favorite, him and his pink caddy. Very clever post.

Oh YES, your Pinkness. And did you ever hear the British way of referring to private parts as the "pink bits"??
I just LOVED all of your PINK memories of great PINKNESS. My favorite is RIZZO and her fellow Pink Ladies of Grease fame! Good times for sure!

Hi, Maggie,
You have brought back a lot of pink memories as you have given us an interesting history of pink in our society. I love Elvis and think it was so sweet of him to give his momma the pink caddy. Happy Pink Saturday! Vicki

What a great idea for Pink Saturday post. I knew about most of these Pink artist, but never thought of using them on my post. You did a super job.
Happy Pink weekend, Maggie! Thanks for stopping by.

Very cool pink post! Ok I thought of two more pinks. How about pink lemonade and pink bubblegum (or bubblegum pink which is a lipstick color). Happy Pink! Oh and I thought I was already a follower but I didn't see me in there so I'm doing it now :)
I love the stroll down the pink memory lane! Pretty In Pink is a favorite from the era I grew up in! Happy Pink Saturday Maggie, I hope you have a beautiful Sunday!
