Where did pink digital camera style come from? It is difficult to know really, but I have a few ideas.
While everyone shops for fantastic items at fantastic value, color is an important choice, too. Historically, our interest in pink has grown with our civilization.
Back in the hey day of Mary Kay cosmetics, pink cars were quite the symbol of success. They were gorgeous. Back then, cars had huge fins on the rear like space rockets (and indeed that may have been the inspiration). When you saw a pink automobile on the road, you took notice. They were so very rare.
In the 1950s there was a pink trend that may have been the etiology for today's interest in pink cameras. This was the pink bathroom tile trend. The tiles were 4 inches by 4 inches of stelar quality. Accent colors with the pink were various- gray, black, or royal burgundy.
The hot, hot pinkie style that persists still today is the pink princess phone. What teenage girl wouldn't have wanted one back then? They were petite, stylish, and a symbol of independence (to have a phone in your room!).
Another possible influence on pink cameras, was the pink hair movement. Very mod, meaning modern. This was more of a style for twenty-somethings, or sometimes for hair stylists, but it was a definite mark in history. Nowadays, it is only a few goth teens who favor pink hair.
Advancement in science have made pink metals possible, with pink coloration. Before the age of extruded plastics and such, pink was not a frequently-seen color.
Today pink is everywhere, and it is extraordinarily popular. Not just for baby girls anymore!!
Real men now wear pink to rodeos as a sign of their support for breast cancer research.
Mr. Peeps marshmallow candy at Easter now come in florescent pink.
Bubble bath is scented like bubble gum and colored pink.
If you are daring, you can even serve pink food to your friends. Will they eat it? How daring to be pink are they?
The pink digital camera is the product of decades of pink culture. Home electronics has certainly come a long way!
