Pink used to be masculine in Western culture, too--light blue was seen as more calm and subdued, and was associated with little girls, and pink, seen as the "stronger" color, was used for little boys. I have read that it switched to the way we now think of them around the turn of the twentieth century (though wikipedia says this happened as recently as the 1940s).
In 1947, fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli introduced the color "hot pink" to western fashion. She dubbed the shade "Shocking Pink," though today the color is more well-known as "magenta."
I Love the pink for this kitty and the texture in the background is perfect. It really picks up on the shape of her eyes and her beautiful coloring. Perfect!
Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Cool!!
Here is my personal pink trivia...
When I was really small (2 - 6 yrs old?)whenever we would visit my grandparents (we lived on west coast and would visit on the east coast) my grandmother used to dress and my sister Julie up in matching outfits... But she always got the pink outfit, and I always got the yellow one. It wasn't her fault at all, but I resented it (not her, just the fact that my graqndma never let ME wear the pink)!!!. That bothered me so much!!!
Then, as a teenager I despised pink. It was the antithesis of all I epitomized - pink said "preppy" and I was known as a "punk" (although I hated that word -- as a nonconformist, I did not like labels!!)
But here I am, an adult, and I embrace pink! (I can wear it any time I want now that I choose my own wardrobe, too!) :) Pink is fun, lighthearted and lifts my spirits. I especially like my pinks bright - none of the too-soft pink shades for me.
Kathy ...nobody uses pink in their artwork better than you ... you rule. I am sorry you did never got the pink dress as a kid.
