Here he is: macho, best-selling, sports and business writer Michael Lewis on the jacket of his new book wearing…pink!
Lewis has inspired me to actually do what I’ve been meaning to for a while: create a collection of images of #MalesInPink.
Did you know thneeds of Lorax fame are pink?
I can’t find an image of a character in a classic thneed, but here’s the Lorax in a pink, thneed hat, which is almost as good.
So what’ve you got? Please attach images or references in the comment section here (baby pics welcome) or on Reel Girl’s Facebook page or Tweet @margotmagowan. Use #MalesInPink with your posts so I can keep track.
Help give a pink a new image. Colors are for everyone!
Gracias,
Margot

The Riddler had pink hair in Batman Forever
in the same film (Batman Forver) Two Face wore half a pink suit (it makes sense in the context of the film if you haven’t seen )
Galactus, one of the most powerful beings of the Marvel Universe wears something between pink and purple. The shade depends on the comic. Modern comics go more for the purple but in earliest cómics he had lots of pink.

Love these examples, adding to my post, FB, Twitter. Thank you! Keep them coming : )
Rugby Referees wear pink. And apparently anyone who doesn’t like rugby is ‘gay’. So I guess the pink wearing male referee could be straight!
