I cannot take myself seriously if my fingernails are freshly polished in some sort of pastel varnish. Especially when there\u2019s glitter involved (somehow I\u2019ve become quite smitten taken with painting all ten digits with a cream color, and then garnishing the index or ring fingers with 1-2 coats of ostentatiously tack-tastic glitter polish, go figure). Pink is the only exception, and even then, my OPI\u2019s\u00a0 \u201cMod About You\u201d is questionable regardless of its ability to make me seem a tad bit tanner. Pink, mes ch\u00e9ries<\/em>, is not to be trusted. Nail polishes are one thing. Should you ever find me dressed in pink, be forewarned! It\u2019s an extremely rare sight, and if you should be so luck\u2014or unlucky, what have you\u2014be cautioned! I am not myself. I made the mistake of donning some fuchsia shift dress, a one-time Easter frock, only to be stared by a sea of shocked peers, ladies and gents a like, mouths agape.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re wearing pink<\/em>?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs something wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n

Oh. I\u2019m hardly being melodramatic.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not that I have a vendetta against pink or pastels. They\u2019re lovely shades: lovely colors against tanned, summer skin, lovely paint for a room, lovely colors of flowers. I simply loathe how childish and impotent I feel with it on. Perhaps it\u2019s some psychological thing where incidents of embarrassment are linked to wearing such colors. That theory, however, holds no ground; I don\u2019t get embarrassed. Period. It\u2019s quite simple. So there goes my only hypothesis.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m just not particularly girly. Feminine, yes, but not girly.<\/em>\u00a0I don\u2019t fawn over boys, get the butterflies, believe in knights in shining armor, or have my mind (or heart, if we\u2019re to be technical here) set on some noble mission that rests only when true love is found. Neither am I entertained nor amused by romance novels or chick flicks of sorts (case in point: The Notebook<\/em> is ridiculous, and I\u2019ve always maintained the same perspective as that of the males in He\u2019s Just Not That Into You<\/em>). I realize the potential in sounding pretention, but alas, it is what it is. It\u2019s not that I don\u2019t appreciate Sex and the City<\/em> or Love and Other Disasters<\/em>; both actually rank as some of my\u00a0all-time favorites. My patience only extends to certain exceptions like the aforementioned. Beyond that, I much prefer a good dose of Sherlock Holmes<\/em>, The Minority Report<\/em>, or something that gets my adrenaline rushing.<\/p>\n

The most ridiculous thing, then,<\/span> is this thing<\/em> that now occupies a hanger in my closet. Hypocritical isn\u2019t it, that I go on a tirade about the color and, somehow, end up with a new addition to my all black-gray-cream wardrobe: a pink blouse from H&M. Not any pink blouse, though. A perfectly girly, frothy, light pink blouse with hearts<\/em>. And a bow<\/em>. Please do turn your attention to Exhibit A, courtesy of Photobooth:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not even sure why it caught my attention in the first place. The silhouette of the blouse looks lovely on. But the print. Those hearts. Either I was not in the right state of mind, or it was a subconscious effort at creating a public, ironic statement of my aversion to the color pink and puppy love\/romance\/sappy things. A sort of inside joke with myself, where I\u2019d laugh with myself whenever I\u2019d wear it. But it\u2019s a sweet little thing, isn\u2019t, it?<\/p>\n

But when I am wearing pastel pink\u00a0varnish<\/a> and clothing, it\u2019s my lame attempt at sprucing an all-black wardrobe. Or I will have adopted an entirely different persona. Perhaps it\u2019s an alter ego, or my brain\u2019s way of forcing me to get in touch with my girly side. I suppose it is entertaining at times to giggle and gossip over a certain [dancer] boy. Refreshing even, to not be so serious all the time.<\/p>\n

One week\u2019s the limit. The fuchsia eyelet frock is intentionally buried to remain unfounded eternally, and out comes the nail polish remover, wads of cotton puffs, and \u201cYou Don\u2019t Know Jacques\u201d armed at the ready. Because once I\u2019ve slipped into my uniform of black\u2014bandage skirts, a semi-sheer blouse, and pumps\u2014equilibrium in the universe has been restored.<\/p>\n

You know I mean business then.<\/p>\n
