hehehe its pink

ok. get this right. there is a company out there called hire-a-hubby. basically the idea is women who either live alone or have husbands that are absolutely useless are able to hire-a-hubby ie. a butch man, to come and solve all their home-improvement problems. these can range from clearing the gutters to mending a broken shelf. so what do they do to these butch men that are meant to be the very specimen of masculinity and strength??? give them a hot pink trailer and uniform. i think it's hilarious!!! i mean, ok i get that they've probably done that so that woman don't feel threatened to have these men in their home as it instantly makes them seem as menacing as a member of the fab 5 (go carson!) but come on couldn't they have settled for a baby blue or something? unless of course the company was founded by a failed ex-sociology student and therefore the colour choice was simply a joke as it played with the notion of gender roles in western society and the significance we give to something as trivial as colour...

i just gave myself away as an ex-sociology student didn't i. well i deferred, not failed so it doesn't count.

but really, would you hire a man dressed in pink to do anything other than sort out your wardrobe?
