I’d like to send glitter-filled wishes and lip-gloss kisses to:
My biggest crush and leading man, Anthony – for dealing with my foot-stompin’ tantrums and for being really rather fabulous (not to mention cute to look at) on a daily basis – love you!
My very own pink ladies – ed girl Lindsey Kelk, agent lady Julia Churchill and chief cheerleader/mentor Cathy Cassidy – for being super-talented, super-supportive and for Thinking Pink from the get-go, I’m a lucky lady to have such an all-star girl gang!
The parentals – popashongo, mum and John – for your endless support and love.
Susie, Sarah B, Sarah C, Vicky, Stephen B, Mark W, Brett, DK and all my amazing be-there-buds for never, ever doubting me.
Techno boy Jason Nelson – for spending the past four years immersed in all things pink and fluffy – you rule.
And to all the feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous Pink Ladies who have visited the website and made pink-world their home, this is for you – the pink revolution starts here girls!

If you’re fed up with your current dull and dreary existence, put on a pair of pink tinted shades and see the world through the eyes of the feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous…Lola Love.
That’s me, by the way! I will offer you exclusive access to the most exciting, full-to-the-brim world of opportunities and possibilities, a place where kooky chicks rule and boys are all beautiful and without complication…Mmm, let’s pause on that thought for a moment.
A place where you can crown yourself princess and wear your tiara with your pyjamas and most importantly, a place where you can shine because, let’s face it, you are a star!
big up yourself ‘CHICA, YOU RULE!’
‘It’s official, I rock!’
Whether it’s making friends, passing exams, getting an allowance increase or bagging a buff boy – being a feisty, fun, fearless and fabulous princess of pink world is a sure-fire way of getting what you want out of life and, once you’ve discovered the fantastic things that can happen when you Think Pink, it will quite possibly be the most exciting, sunshine-splashed experience…ever!
Before seeing the world through pink-tinted shades there were some days when I just didn’t feel like the star-shaped sparkle girl that I actually am. I’d look in the mirror and become queen of the putdowns, I just couldn’t see past the spot on my chin or the size of my bum. This would be an instant excuse for me to hide under the duvet indefinitely with a family size pack of biscuits wallowing in bad thoughts and self-doubt.
What you see when you look in the mirror depends on whether you’re a self-esteem queen or an esteem-lacking Lucy. Self-esteem is an essential item in the Think Pink vanity case. If you have it, you like yourself, you’re confident and you’re satisfied with being you.
Unfortunately, loving and accepting yourself is not something you can buy in a tub at the cosmetics counter (oh my stars, how fabulous would that be?) and for some it takes much longer to discover than others, but Think Pink and you will be well on your way to becoming your very own dream girl.
Are you a self-esteem queen?
Are you happy being you or are you in need of a bravado boost?
When you walk past a mirror, do you:
a. turn and run in the opposite direction
b. take a good look and smile at what you see
Do you believe you can do whatever you want to in life?
a. it’s nice to dream but they never come true, so no
b. with a lot of hard work you can do anything, so yes
You’re meeting your Pink Ladies for a slice of chocolate cake, but when you arrive they go quiet, do you:
a. feel awkward. They could have been talking about you
b. ask them what the latest gossip is!
When the cute boy behind the counter winks at you, do you
a. look behind you to see who he’s winking at
b. smile your sweetest smile back at him
When you think about how you look, do you:
a. feel uncomfortable and wrong
b. feel happy and content
Mostly a’s
You’re an amazing person but sometimes you need a reminder of just how cool you are. A quick way to boost your bravado is to try little confidence tricks like smiling at people and keeping eye contact. Try to set yourself some
