May I introduce Queen Of Pink, mascot and Sovereign of our little haven here. I call her Jade Rose.
Whoever you are, wherever you have come from, whatever your issues or troubles are, leave it at the door. You do not have to pretend to be anything here, just be open-minded. Pink can be whatever you want it to be, and is only childish or girly if you allow it to be.
Love pink or hate pink, pink appears in every part of our life, so pink up, pink on, and get PINK'd.
Queenofpink.
