Do you like Harry Styles? I sure do. And what’s not to like? He has excellent comedic timing, he sings a good song, and he’s very nice looking when he doesn’t have that weak mustache. Win win win! This fabulous little Harry is a must-own blown-glass Christmas ornament by Cody Foster & Co., the company known for creating some of the most wonderfully quirky, nostalgic and downright unexpected holiday ornaments around. And they don’t skimp on the details: Harry has his signature dark hair, pink-and-white fur coat, butterfly chest tattoo and even his shiny silver shoes — plus all the requisite bling that goes along with being an international pop star and eligible bachelor, or so I’m told. Hang him on your tree and watch all the girls go crazy!
Often a pop of color can completely change the feel of a streetscape. Case in point: the outdoor dining area at Romeos on St. Marks Place in the East Village. The curbside setup is a particularly appealing shade of pale pink, with low metal stools and matching folding cocktail tables, each decorated with a little red heart in the center. Bright red umbrellas provide the finishing touch —and a welcome bit of shade. Because while it’s still summer we should be eating and drinking outdoors as much as possible!

I know we still have a few months to go before Christmas, but it’s never too early to start thinking about holiday decorations — especially when I come across something as delightfully ridiculous as this.

Case in point: this Pizza Slut ornament, a cheeky pink parody of the Pizza Hut logo. Continue reading Pink Thing of The Day: Pizza Slut Holiday Ornament→
Leave it to Kikkerland Design to transform an everyday household chore into something that makes you squee. These cheerful Pink Axolotls look more like plush toys than kitchen accessories. With their oversized black eyes, tiny smiles, and bright pink feathery gills, they’re almost too cute to put anywhere near a sink. But don’t let their irresistible appearance fool you—vthey’re actually durable scrub sponges designed to tackle dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen cleanup.

It seems there’s always something new to discover in and around Freeman Alley, the Lower East Side’s ever-changing street art mecca. On the day after the Fourth of July, with the summer heat still hanging over the city, I spotted this oversized Pink Buddha mural on Rivington Street, just a few steps from the alley itself. Despite looking carefully, I couldn’t find an artist’s tag, so perhaps one of my readers can chime in. Continue reading Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Smiling Buddha Mural→
