ADMINS - I would like to suggest pinning this one atop the feed, should you deem this post and idea worthy.

Hi all. Seeing two of our best dressed regulars in blue today -

@Chad Smith

and

@Brian McGuire

- made me think of a community-wide color celebration. My wife loves my pink dress shirts, and it seems apropos to wear something she likes on Valentine's Day. Moreover, the American Heart Association sponsors events throughout February for heart health awareness month. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in women, globally. The combination of Valentine's Day and American Heart Health month which so horribly impacts the women we love, please join me in showing your support for our women and their heart health by wearing anything pink on the 14th of February.

(Of course, this by no way should limit this celebration to non-Americans, those who identify as other than heterosexual, or the woman on this platform - I love all of you too!)

Let me also suggest using the space below for ideas on how one might wear pink on Valentine's day, especially as many men can be reticent over wearing pink (despite the fact that pink was also very much a man's color for hundreds of years before the clothing industry split up blue and pink to boys and girls, respectively, in the 1950s). Consider what you will do that day and the type of weather you are likely to have and give some ideas to help inspire others in our community. Just make sure the items you suggest are ones normally appropriate to show in public, even if you also plan on pink sock-to-undershirt garters (yikes!).

Maybe the admins will even add a "best dressed in pink" voting poll afterwards and award the winner with another great pink wardrobe item! (this might be my last post ever given how much I'm asking of the admins!).
