I love Pink. Pink Sizzles, Pink Rocks. And so does the artist of the same name. More of a word than a name, and only one word, because only one word is necessary.
PINK.
Pink is hard-assed, Pink is hard-core. Pink pushes the envelope, and she manages all this because of another singular word:
Authenticity.
Pink is a call-out to all of us party-of-one-girls dancing alone in our living rooms. She wears her heart on her tattooed forearm; her music, her art, her politics on her stage, and she is always, always, always masterfully in control of that stage.
Pink inspires me. Her music gives me the courage to never be, never be anything but loud and nitty gritty. She makes this gawky, four-eyed kid in hand-me-downs proud to be too school for cool, treated like a fool, an underdog.
A dirty little freak.
Yes, this post ends in a video, another video. See, we haven’t been Jiggy here on Wildflower for a while. Don’t get fancy, just get dancy.
No? What do you mean, ‘No’? What part of party don’t you understand?
Love it, Sherry! I’m all about dancing alone in the kitchen.
Having a relatable moment here as I write an article about being out of your element. Pink’s lines are hitting home!
Party harty!
Living room, kitchen, back yard, aisle 24 at Walmart… anywhere will do. Rock on, Sharon, rock on.
I love Pink too! Not only do I think she has the best work out music in the world, I love to listen to her on Pandora too. Rock on Babe!
Pandora? Do tell.
(My age is showing again, isn’t it?)
Cool. Love the attitude. Now I’m in the mood for a party. Hmmm? No party in sight. cheers, anyhow.
Party at my house next week, Urve! Bring your groove!
Sherry you rock, just like Pink! I love that she’s unconventional and too school for cool. She redefines beauty and raises the bar for all other musical and artistic talents out there.
Megan, did you catch Pink’s performance at the 2010 Grammy’s? I actually had that clip on this post, but thought 2 clips were too much. Guess I’ll have to feature another Pink post.
I did! I saw it when it aired and too many times after. I’m down for another Pink post.
Pink totally Rocks. Love this song. I have “So What” in one of my workout playlists and it’s the perfect badass tune to push me a little further around the track. Thanks for the musical inspiration today.
So what? I’m still a rock star…
Love that song, too, Tami. Now I have it in my head. You’re right, awesome beat for a work out.
I like gettin Jiggy with you. This is one of my favorite Pink songs and she has an attitude that you have to admire. Girl power!!
Brinda, any time you need to get jiggy and get down, you come on over. Na-na-na-na-na-na-na!
I have wild, crazy love for all things PINK! So, of course I have to share my uber cool PINK-several-times-removed-connection. It turns out, my orthodontist is PINK’S cousin! (Well, okay, his wife’s cousin, but let’s not get technical please.). I just know that when I went into his office to get braces at 34 (really, don’t ask), I was thrilled to see my own cute little Dr.C in an ENORMOUS poster size photo with PINK! Lovely fellow that he is, he tolerated all my nosy PINK questions for the duration of my treatment. Insider scoop: she’s REALLY just as cool as we THINK she is.
Barbara, you are so plugged in! I’m sure he’d expected questions to come from teenage girls or randy boys, not mature women! Ha (I use the term, mature, loosely.)
As cool as we think she is? No doubt. I refer back to one word: Authenticity.
I love Pink. I think she sings about things in a totally natural way. When she says “party” she says it like she enjoys them, not, as with so many, because it’s a word everyone uses and they feel compelled to do the same.
Cheers!
I love Pink. We have “So What” on Guitar Hero and it’s one of my favorite to play.
