Print advertisements have an Indian elephant painted in different shades of pink with pink brocade dupattas draped on it. Lounging near the elephant is a curvy brunette with indian brocade cushions and a stole around her. And yes, her nails are a luscious `Bombay Berry'. Debra Messing (Will and Grace) at the Emmy's won many thums up for her soft and shaded pink gown by the famous Michael Kors. Heather Locklear of Dynasty and LAX fame was voted the best dressed in her Majenta pink Oscar delarenta. But can pink always be right? No way! Politically, blah mouth Barbra Streisand went horribly wrong in a baby pink velvet creation which was so not so Emmy. It looked like a drape from her preppie home. So, if you pick pink, pick a pink that is not passe.
