I have memories of being forced to wear frilly things as a child, not pink necessarily, I was a child in 1960's and my mum went for strong bold colours. I particularly hated a red rushed swimming costume which made me look like the Michelin Man's daughter (I was about 3 at the time). When I was about 9 or 10 my mum bought me some orange hot pants, I was horrified! As an adult I never ever wear anything with even the hint of a frill and I tend to choose subtle tones. My mum is nearly 80 but still likes things bold and noticeable.
