Theory #1: Pink And Blue

// Filed under: Theories on Friday September 16th 2005, 1:55 pm

Now if you’re like me, (i.e. male and single) you may have a habit of noticing females as you walk around shopping centres and public places. I’m sure you’ve seen females around before, it’s quite a popular choice for gender these days. Now being a female naturally (to the disappointment of many males) leads to wearing clothes in public. And this is the subject of today’s Theory - the clothing choices of females. Sorry to those of you hoping for a dissertation on the female anatomy; there are other places one can visit to see attractive females.

So let’s begin. Working in customer service for some time now, and of course the sheer act of being alive and having working eyes, has led me to notice that the most common colour combination for females, particularly teenage ones - and I’m talking 50% at the very least here - is a light pink top, and blue jeans. Always the same. Light pink top. Blue jeans.

One simple question: Why? Sure, it’s a nice colour combination. It’s easy on the eyes, and definitely very feminine. I’m not saying it looks bad, in fact, on the right girl I’m sure it could be postitively stunning. But why, why, why is it so widespread? Why is that everywhere I go, girls are wearing the same colour combination? Why is that I can see at least once a week, a whole group of girls walking along, all wearing pink tops and blue jeans? And why do I italicise so much?

Is it genetic? Is it a social imperative - pink-and-blue-are-feminine-colours-and-you-will-wear-them? Is it a secret society, dedicated to confusing the hell out of Tim? All of these are equally plausible. Because come on, how many colour combinations are out there? There must be more than one. It’s not like there’s a little back room somewhere in fashion land, where grey-and-beige sit together in a smokey haze with black-and-brown, swigging heavily from a half-empty vodka bottle and complaining bitterly about the “good old days” before those “pink-and-blue skanks” moved into town.

It’s a question for the ages, my friends. Perhaps we will never know the answer.

Ya know. I don’t think I’ve seen this phenomenon.

I’ve seen the combo, yes. But definitely not everywhere. Perhaps this pink/blue cult is specific to the WA area, while it only has a few scattered agents elsewhere. Curiouser and curiouser.

I’m glad TimTekIndustries has regained its blogging industriousness.

There’s also the blacktop/bluejeans combination, which seems to be a little more popular here over the ditch.

Check with the Freemasons and their Daughters of the Nile counterparts. I have noted that a number of females who are wearing the Pink have mentioned an interest in dating black men.
