Jeong Mee Yoon: "The Pink and Blue Projects were initiated by my five-year-old daughter, who loves the color pink so much that she wanted to wear only pink clothes and play with only pink toys and objects. I discovered that my daughter’s case was not unusual..."

When I was a little girl there wasn't quite as much pink for sale as today's epidemic pinkage, but I could locate a pink Barbie or Sindy toy-stand like a pink seeking missile. Branding working it's magic it maybe but I grew out of any pink obsession I may/may not have had and don't think it poses as big a problem as is currently being made out (or is that what THEY want me to think??). I still like pink, so sue me.
Love love love these - look at them all on http://www.blanka.co.uk/Art/Exergian/Iconic_TV/

They are the recently designed 'expo' chairs for the danish pavilion at shanghai, 2010. They are made from molded plywood & each chair has numerous color combinations to die for.
I love this work, it's Hieronymus Bosch meets the Chapman Brothers in some anatomical fairy-tale dreamscape. Julia Bruderer is the winner of the Swatch Young Illustrators Award 2009 at www.illustrative.de/
