Pink on men is hot, enough said. It is nothing more than a WATERED- DOWN RED. Put a pink polo on the body of any random guy, and your mouth is guranteed to water. Ask any female if guys look sexy in a pink attire, and their eyes immediately light up and they’ll just shake their head up and down

bsentmindedly while reminiscing about a boy in pink. I mean, we can’t help it that our Apollo boys look so fine in that slightly feminine and extremely pretty fabric. But in all honesty, I believe it’s healthy for a guy’s nerves and emotions to be allowed to show a little femininity once in a while. Okay, this may sound a bit out there, but is it just me or do a lot of the guys seem a little more uplifted and gleeful when they are dawning the passionate pink? Their smiles are brighter, their grades are...well anyway, pink rocks.

On the other hand, our oh-so-wonderful editorials editor, Andy, believes a little differently about pink than I do. He told me that pink on men is “just not right”; a heavy understatement. In class, Andy continuosly argues and complains about the cruelty and sadness of the pink fad with the men. He shuts me down with insults (okay, he TRIES) almost everyday for my strong love for the color. Well, not only is his passion for wearing all black everyday extremely boring and dull, he’s also a hypocrytical liar. I know for a fact that Andy wears pink. Oh, he tries to hide it beneath his grundgy layers of disco pants and hurley t-shirts, but a discovery was actually made by me during journalism class recently. I found Andy wearing several different shades of pink in the form of GIRLY ponytail holders on his little wrist. The saddest thing about that is the fact that poor Andy tries so diligently to deny his incredible passion for pink to me, but inside, he can’t hide his love.

On a different note, come on guys,if you’re sad and single, all the time KNOWING us girls fall head over hills for a guy in pink, then why try to make yourself feel more masculine and secure by trashing the pink? I mean, it seriously looks so good!

Okay, okay. Maybe I have been slightly harsh on Andy for his love for “darker colors”. But if you were me, you would say the same things to a man who frowned and growled at you every class for your pleasant looking wardrobe. I AM NOT A LIAR! I am just straightforward is all. I know I love pink, and I do not hide it. My room even represents the personality I love to own. But, wait! I’ll give everyone ONE guess of what color Andy’s room is. Black? No. Navy blue? No. Gray? No. Pink? YES! Andy himself told me his walls are painted pink in his room at home. I mean, the man might as well just give up this argument right now since he obviously can’t back up his hatred for men in pink with an honest answer! Andy, I love you buddy, and I know you secretly adore me with all your heart, so I think I’m going to make fun of you the rest of the year with the fact that your room is, in fact, girlier than my own.
So “The King” believes himself to be rough and tough and against the whole pastel side of the color wheel, but if it weren’t for colors like baby blue, yellow, and pink, what would happen to Easter and springtime memories and pretty fingernail polishes and Andy’s girlie little room? So,boys, make your mama and girlfriend proud and show off that pink !

Katie Pickens is BLONDE, enough said. She believes that pink is the greatest color out of the entire labyrinith of colors we have created in today’s world. So, of course, her views on guys wearing pink are a little biased. Now, I’m not saying necessarly that pink is a bad color, or that people shouldn’t like it. I’m saying that pink is a bad color and people shouldn’t like it, that’s understandable right?

At this point, I feel it is a good place to discredit my argumentative nemisis. I DO NOT ALWAYS WEAR BLACK. “The Kevin” as Miss Pickens is known by her friends, is a liar on that little bit of information. I wear “darker” colors: black, gray, navy blue. But I also wear light colors: white, red, blue. And as for the “pink ponytail holders” that I allegedly wear on my wrist, that too is a lie, they’re on my D-clip with my keys. But the statement she makes that hurts me the most is, “extremely boring and dull”. My shirts may be black but they are far from boring and dull, infact my shirts are both exciting (far from boring) and fun (far from dull). So the belief of a blonde full of school spirit, liar may work for some of you, but it doesn’t work for me.

But the best defense of my opinion on males wearing pink shirts I have hidden away in my library of thoughts pertaining to this topic alone is, at birth girls with the color PINK,and males are shown with the color blue. From day one of our exsistance that girls own the rights to the color pink, and guys have the rights to blue. Now I’m not saying we all have to walk around wearing blue if your a boy, and pink if your a girl. Or that girls can’t wear blue, but I am saying guys can’t wear pink. Why is it girls can wear blue and guys can’t wear pink? Well I’ll tell you. The color blue has translated over to girls thanks to the fact that it’s a primary color. One sex can’t own the rights to a primary color, but one sex can own pink. Why? Because it’s not what class, that’s right it’s not a primary color.

Going back to what my opponent has said about me being a hypocrite, everyone in the entire world is a hypocrite so I don’t see how that really effects anything. She would be a hypocrite if she dared to ever wear the color black and change her wardrobe from her traditional pink, yellow, sky blue, (also a kinda feminine color but I’ll leave it alone for right now) etc. I mean some might say if not for these colors what would Easter or spring time be like. Well A LOT LESS THOSE COLORS I can tell you. They would just have choosen different colors to represent those seasons.

Now in defense of what Miss. Pickens, or “The Kevin” as she prefers, about my awesome room. What you have read is true, my room is pink, but I have a pretty good defense. It used to be my sister’s room and when she moved out I moved in and I’m much too lazy to take all my stuff off the walls just to repaint the room. And once again I’m not against the color pink, I’m just against guys wearing the color pink. They can have it anywhere else in there lives they want, just as long as people, like Katie, do not get a hold of it, because she is a relentless hater of me.

I do not secrectly adore Katie, she’s a strange little gal and I love her for it. (Gives me lots of stuff to tease her about, and lets face it, its fun, for me.) But the girl is wrong. Besides pink is a wussy red and who in there right mind would want to wear a wussy color, other then Katie.
