I might have shown you these images before, but I can't recall. The NYT has a great little slideshow with a selection of photo essays by JeongMee Yoon, who started this series by assembling all her daughter's pink possessions in an orderly display for a portrait. The article sums it up quite nicely: "Children of all ages are hooked on pink and blue, a trend ensured by parents who begin collecting for sons and daughters when they are infants."
Can you find the little girl in this picture?
For those of you close to New York city, “The Pink and Blue Project,” will be on view from March 3 to April 26 at the Jenkins Johnson Gallery in Chelsea.
For more on gender color preferences, and some digging I did a while back about where this bias originated, check out my post from last year.
I'm curious, do these regimented, gender-assigned colors hold true in other countries?
added 2/26: P.S. Great article just published, entitled Pink is for boys, that ties into this theme perfectly...
