The Pink Lady



This lady, whom I snapped from the hip, is someone I often see on my street.  Sometimes she's not dressed in pink, but always some bright color like fire-engine red or vivid orange. Sometimes she even does her hair in a matching shade.

Seeing her brought to mind another Pink Lady that you see below, and that I saw in Malibu Canyon, California,  before she was deemed a traffic hazard and painted over.  You can read the whole story right here.

It's a good photo! She looks like she is trying to figure out why you are taking photos from your hip.

This pink lady is becoming a visual landmark too. Mind your camera!

I liked your trucks, but the difference is that neither of them are going anywhere! :-)

Yeah, she's definitely on to you! I love her style (and maybe she wouldn't mind a bit if you did a real photo shoot with her).

Wonderful shot, Bibi. btw, went to your link of the "Pink Lady." Quite a story. Never heard of it, but thanks to you, I know about it now. I would love to drive through Malibu Canyon Road (as I did many times in my youth) and see that amazing work (and feat) of art. Hmmm ... a story for the Twilight Zone??
