Thomas Hine:
Shag rugs are back in the stores. The rooms in decorating magazines are starting to look just a little bit cluttered. Solar panels are hot. Men are wearing beards. There are orange cars on the road, something not seen since the days of the flaming Ford Pinto. For all we know, avocado-colored appliances are about to mount a comeback.

The culture seems to be having a 1970s moment.

I love PANK, I dig Turquoise, Sunny Yellow and Mint Green (which kinda looks blue to me) are cool. The GE designer pastels were so me.

But, puh-lease. Not avocado.

Pretty please?

It really is a slippery slope. First avocado. Then harvest gold.
 
Dear God no pink please!

I'd take avocado, harvest gold, mint green, or even sunny yellow...but please no pink!

I've never understood this fascination with pink so many in the gay community have...to each his own...
 
Sears did have the Avocado green the other day, but they calle it Chi. They also have the brown but it's called truffle.

All that's old is new again. Hip huggers, bell bottoms. Please Dear God in heaven stop them before they bring back the leisure suit.
 
It's not all bad . . .

"Men are wearing beards." As God intended, I might add. I can even deal with shag carpet (must use the Kirby, the Constellation isn't shag friendly), but I do draw the line at avocado and coppertone . . . ugh. Guess I'm just a turquoise kinda guy.
 
It's spelled like its

spoken, Ken: PANK.

And it goes heavenly with my fingernails and lipstick, yet doesn't overpower them, that's why.

I mean, what on earth does one wear to match avocado?

(just teasing, I know there are some here who take it way too seriously)

Remember on the TV series Bewitched, all the warlocks wore leisure suite, except for Maurice, who always wore a tuxedo.

I guess I'll have a while to wait before Almond/Bisque makes a comeback....
 
Ken, we're about the same age. You seriously don't remember the importance of pink back in the 1970's? It was our community's middle finger to bigotry. And even in the hetero world, who didn't know at least one strapping hunk who didn't wear pink dress shirts and Izod polo shirts?

As for appliances, pink is the very essence of gay -- and it has zilch to do with sexual orientation. No other country would have even thought of it, which is why it was so wonderful IMO.
 
Ah, Jeff,

as usual, the Italians got their first.

Anytime you have good design for a utilitarian object, count on it - the Italians almost certainly did it first.

Bonus points to the first who places Miss Prescott and PANK!
 
Keven, that's very interesting. Do you know what year the first pink appliances were made?
 
Nope,

Only, I've seen PANK in Italian county homes as multi-fuel ranges from the 1920's.
Clue:
feels so gay
feels so bright
makes your day
makes your night
pink is now the color to which...
you gotta switch!

So who sang it and what venue and when?
