There were a few articles yesterday about "why pink for little girls" and "is it good for them".

From this article, I particularly liked this paragraph:

Orenstein finds one such enlightening explanation in developmental psychology research
showing that until as late as age 7, children are convinced that external signs - clothing,
hairstyle, favorite color, choice of toys - determine one's sex. It makes sense, then,
that to ensure you will stay the sex you were born you'd adhere rigidly to the rules as you
see them and hope for the best, she writes. That's why 4-year-olds, who are in what is
called "the inflexible stage, " become the self-appointed chiefs of the gender police.
Suddenly the magnetic lure of the Disney Princesses became more clear to me:
developmentally speaking, they were genius, dovetailing with the precise moment that
girls need to prove they are girls, when they will latch on to the most exaggerated images
their culture offers in order to stridently shore up their femininity. For a preschool girl,
a Cinderella dress is nothing less than an existential insurance policy, a crinolined bulwark
to fortify a still-shaky sense of identity.

Let's just say that he is very secure in his sexual identity.

I just don't think that his golfing buddies would allow him to go unscathed in an outfit like that.

These are the sorts of snippets that I love to read about.

I also read that blue is the colour for Saturn(cold color) and goes back a long, long way.

I will read up again.

If you like reading about colour: its history and so on; do you know the book: Color, from Victoria Finlay? Very good read, I found, also very detailed.

What a great avatar that would make for someone. You know, we should have a week when we get to pick each other's avatar for that week. Let's see, who otter wear this little ducky?
