I gravitate toward blues, grays, black and pinks.terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-62998179009990646992012-11-23T13:43:53.900-07:002012-11-23T13:43:53.900-07:00Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Did not spot the cat but I haven't had my coffee yet. Great timelapse of how you work. <br /><br />And I am not certain the gender targeting works anymore. Too many things are deemed "for boys" or "for girls" don't see to sell as well as they used to. I have started to consider some other color schemes for my running shoes as well. My latest ASICs are bright red but I am looking at some neon colored ones for the next pair. agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-4747574696101231942012-11-22T11:52:46.903-07:002012-11-22T11:52:46.903-07:00I think gender targeting of toys usually fails.

Reminds me of a model one that I painted a few years ago - I will dig it out and post a photo.<br /><br />I don't like the gender targeting of a lot of basic toys - kids tend to gravitate to things that interest them because of what they do. If your daughter won't play with a toy because it is not pink you are doing something really wrong!Rock Chefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259561583833857901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-50387008412055437972012-11-22T08:50:58.111-07:002012-11-22T08:50:58.111-07:00Awwwwwwwwwwwww!

When she was old enough to talk, she made it quite clear that she doesn't like pink. So I don't think all girls are drawn to something that's been pinkified. Myself, I'm drawn to many colors, depending on the object.<br />Happy Birthday from one Scorpio to another! I loved watching you paint, but never did see the cat. hmph. I wanted pie.

I think it's absurd. As a child, I shunned pink and purple because I knew they were associated with girls. I never owned a barbie, only g.i. joes and myriads of stuffed animals. My parents were okay with it all (until lately.) Also, I totally love purple. And I wear it as often as possible now. I guess I'll always be a gender rebel.
