Let me tell you about the color pink. I lived in Germany in my middle school years. I ordered a trick BMX bike in the mid 80's and back then neon green, pink, orange, etc. were pretty cool. I got the lavender one, which was more like neon pink when I got it. I loved it when I first got it. It took months to get there but when it did I was the cool kid on the block. I rode it while all the kids watched me ride. One day I was in the park doing curb endos when this really hot girl that lived across the street came up to me. I thought this was my chance to finally hook up with the hottest girl in my school. She came up and said in a mocking, sarcastic voice, "What are you doing on a pink bike? You look like a homo!!" I was devastated for a few hours. You know who that girl was? Mayte Garcia. She became one of Prince's dancers and later married him. I never wore or rode anything pink again.
Here's a pic of her now.
TRUE STORY!!!
