In a case of very effective visual marketing, this tiny display of Lovery Pink Rose bath and body products virtually jumped out at me from the confines of their booth at the recent NY Now gift show, and I knew I had to run over and grab this photo for a PinkThing!

This week’s Pink Thing is a celebration of Pink for Pinkness’ sake -and why not? Spotted at the recent NYCWFF, this booth for The Pale Rosé wine is so darn pink, I gave it its own private photoshoot! Let’s get our Pink on, shall we?
