Attention male MTS readers: Think Pink.

Pink is the new blue. For men, that is. Ironic but true, this girlish shade is popping up everywhere, from the boardroom to casual parties to magazine layouts.

Billionaire Donald Trump wore a shiny pink tie with a dark business suit on his hit reality-TV show, "The Apprentice," last month. And hip-hop artist Andre Benjamin of OutKast wore a pink-and-white checked shirt and green polka-dot bow tie in the "50 Most Beautiful" issue of People magazine. The weekly describes the rapper as someone "who's comfortable wearing saddle shoes, pearl bracelets and plenty of pink."

You Said

Think Regis had also wore a pink tie last night during Super Millionaire.

Wasn't there something in the news a month or two ago about a school up in Northern Indiana (around South Bend, I think) that had banned (or tried to ban) students from wearing pink because it was supposedly an indication of a gang affiliation? I found that rather humorous, in a mental-image-kinda-way.

I am the last person you think would be saying this, but I hate pink on guys. I refuse to buy a pink dress shirt, even though I have no problems wearing lilac or lavender. I really can't explain. I just don't think it looks good on guys.

I used to have a chunky/textured pink sweater that everyone said looked great. It's definitely an easy color to overuse though.

I think if my husband ever shows up in one of those shirts, it would be grounds for divorce!!
