MARRIED TO IT
I loved the colour so much, I decided to make it official!
Kitten Kay Sera, 60.
Stepping into a pair of baggy blue trousers, I looked in the mirror. “Happy birthday to me,” I sighed. It was my 20th, but it just felt like any other day.
I was the youngest of ve girls and had become used to wearing my older siblings’ hand-me-downs, which were mostly boring and plain.
But I’d woken up on my birthday wanting fun and excitement.
“I’m going to be bold and brave,” I said to my sister.
“Good for you,” she replied.
She took me on a shopping spree and
I chose an all-pink out t.
Back home, I dressed in my new pink top, a pink
u y skirt, pink shoes and pink accessories.
I’d never felt so fabulous! It felt like a spiritual awakening.
Returning all the boring hand-me-downs to my sisters, I bought an entirely pink wardrobe.
From that day, all
I wore was blush, magenta and fuchsia coloured clothes. Eventually, I dyed my hair pink, too.
ankfully, brands starting producing more pink garments.
I became the singer in an all-girl band called Pinktastic Plastixx, and we were the world’s rst Barbiecore band.
Brands ocked to me to promote their pink products.
I even had a clause included in my CV which stated that I could not wear any colour other than pink.
In time, I turned my home into my favourite hue, too, painting the walls and furnishing it in pink.
Even my cleaning products and toilet paper were pink, and I coloured my Pomeranian pup, Pinky Pink’s fur, with pet-approved beetroot juice dyes. She looked like fairy oss!
e only thing in my home that wasn’t pink was the air-conditioning unit, which my landlord wouldn’t allow me to paint.
My Pink Palace became a hot spot and celebrities like Paris Hilton and Ruby Rose came to visit and be photographed there.
One day, when
I was out, a young skateboarder spotted me.
“Wow, you really like pink,” he said.
“Yeah,” I replied.
“If you like it so much, why don’t you marry it?” he giggled.
He was clearly trying to seem cool in front of his mates but it was a lightbulb moment for me. I knew immediately I’d do just that.
I was grateful for the path pink had put me on. It had given me con dence and I’d made a living and career out of it.
What better way to show my appreciation for my favourite colour than to vow to love it forever?
“I’m going to marry the colour pink,” I told my friend, Redd.
“Of course you are,” he laughed.
“You can be a bridesman, I pinky promise,” I smiled.
Choosing a colour scheme for the wedding wasn’t hard!
My 260,000 Instagram followers decided on many details. ey even voted on my dress and ring.
I wanted everyone to be part of my special day.
‘Pink has always made me happy’
I had the best hen’s party in Vegas and I’d never felt so excited.
As I stepped into my carnation dress and hot-pink faux fur jacket, I knew I’d made the right decision.
Marriage is about devoting your life to what you love most, and I couldn’t possibly love pink more.
My bouquet, nails, shoes and even my underwear were all pink!
My wedding car was a pink Cadillac that Elvis Presley once owned.
As I walked down the aisle, surrounding me were 40 guests and before me were my bridesmen, who were also dressed in pink.
Waiting for me at the altar was a giant pink swatch board.
“Pink has always made me happy, and I’ll always love it because of that,” I began, addressing the crowd. en I turned to face the swatch board.
“I know that there are many shades of you, but I love all of you equally,” I said.
Afterwards, my loved ones and I tucked into the pink wedding cake and sipped on rosé champagne.
Marrying pink, which I’ve loved for 40 years, was the best decision I ever made.
I don’t take myself too seriously – we’re only here for a short while so do what you love.
I see myself as a amingo in a sea of pigeons.
I’m the pinkest person in the world.
Some people might nd it strange that I married a colour, but for me, life is pink-credible!
