Ha, I have such a schizophrenic position on this "issue"! My natural taste is to dislike this color. But vendors' propensity of making pink THE girly color pushed my dislike all the way to abhor. I've shocked a real estate agent once, when she showed us a house with a very pink little girl's bedroom. She thought it would be a strong selling point. I disabused her mighty fast. And I hope you won't take this personally, Ros, since the reverse is also true: you would really dislike my color scheme, and I don't hold that against you. *g*

That being said, pink is the color I look best in. So while in general I can't stand seeing it around me, when it comes to clothes, I dress almost exclusively in pink and its relatives. I mitigate this in my mind by the very reasonable argument that I don't see the colors I wear. *g*

As for pink books, they look ridiculous in the bookstore, but when I read one, I never notice the cover. I'm not sure if I would buy one, though.
