There is so much that is the absolute essence of Pinkness going on in this photo. First, look at this towering Christmas tree — just look at it — with its abundance of glittering mid-century baubles and the width swath of Pink Satin Ribbon encircling its branches.

This collection of memorabilia and props from the 1975 movie — and pop culture touchstone — Jaws was spotted at the Hollywood Museum, which I visited on my recent trip to California. If you’re in the area, the museum is super fun and very worth the $15 admission price!
