Rose’s appealing hue doesn’t signal ‘sweet’

A sure sign of spring is when wine shops expand their selection of dry rose for the upcoming summer season. It is a fun time of year for wine drinkers who understand and appreciate this often overlooked category.

For wine lovers who believe all pink wines are sweet, keep reading.

The color of a wine, including pink wine, has nothing to do with the sweetness. The perception that pink wine is sweet began when white Zinfandel, which is pink and sweet, became popular in the United States during the 1970s.

Rose (pronounced row-zay) wines are made from red grapes that […]

Column: Much ado about a little pink polish

For the record, I’ve never painted my sons’ toenails. Not fire engine red, mandarin orange or Pepto Bismol pink.

Usually encased in sneakers, their feet — how can I put this nicely? — tended to emit a unique aroma, and I felt no inclination to expose myself to it unless absolutely necessary. I doubt they would have let me near them with a little brush, anyway.

However, if another mother felt an overwhelming desire to dab a few drops of color on her son’s piggies, I wouldn’t stand in her way. I don’t think nail polish would “make” him gay nor muddy his gender identity — hard-wired attributes, according to most research.

Some people, though, would like you to believe otherwise. […]

grapefruit growers in the pink

The Press-Enterprise

Although citrus production has shrunk dramatically in Riverside County over the last decade, the county continues to lead the state in the planting of grapefruit. But now grapefruit growers who face diminishing demand for their product are organizing for their survival.

While citrus gave way to development in most of western Riverside County, grapefruit groves have endured primarily on remote canyon slopes east of Hemet and stretching into Temecula. It is an area blessed with a microclimate that unlike anywhere in the world except South Africa produces grapefruit that can be harvested when it is summer here and ahead of bigger crops hitting the market from Florida and Texas.

Pink In Art

In 1973, Sheila Levrant de Bretteville created “Pink,” a broadside meant to explore the notions of gender as associated with the color pink, for an American Institute of Graphic Arts exhibition about color. This was the only entry about the color pink.

Various women including many in the Feminist Studio Workshop at the Woman’s Building submitted entries exploring their association with the color. De Bretteville arranged the squares of paper to form a “quilt” from which posters were printed and disseminated throughout Los Angeles. She was often called “Pinky” as a result.

In 1993, artist Gioia Fonda created a conceptual piece in the form of a week long holiday called pink week. The intention of pink week is to liberate the color pink from all dogma and simply celebrate the color pink as a color.

Bubblegum Pink is an installation by the artist duo Bigert & Bergstrom which “confronted [the viewer] with three different mental climates” involving large amounts of pink. This mirrors the use of the color in American prisons to calm aggressive prisoners. It features a pink cell and a carpet worn by repetitive pacing.

Plants – Cherry blossoms only have a pink color when they bloom in the springtime.

The Color Pink

So you see the color pink is in effect almost everywhere. It doesn’t hide from controversy; it has switched from a boys color to a girls color. It calms aggression. It signifies cancer awareness, and is a force in music and art. It is sometimes fashionable and at other times it’s out. Whatever you think about the color pink it looks like pink is here to stay.
