Shoot The Pink: Hunt The Calamine Car

This picture of a pink Mini was sent from Shanghai by longterm TTAC correspondent Daveinchina.

When I saw the picture, my eyes fixated my palm, palm accelerated in the direction of my forehead and smacked it so loud that Frau Schmitto-san came running from the other room, inquiring (to the best of her Japanese abilities :) "Are you alright?"

It dawned my smarting head that many months ago, I had called a hunt for pink cars. I asked to send the take of the hunt to shootthepink@gmail.com. Nothing arrived, so I declared the hunt a dud.

The dud was I: I had forgotten to enter shootthepink@gmail.com in my Outlook.

Today, I did. A wave of pink pics rushed into my computer. For which I send outrageously belated thanks.

Bob Fulkerson sent this fuzzy picture to shootthepink@gmail.com. He says it is a "Metro Kitty and Nini Powers."

TTAC's fashion correspondent Cameron Miquelon set this picture of a pink taxi. Where Cameron lives, they use it to transport victims of Poison Ivy.

I have many more. Eventually, they will run out – eventually. To prevent this from happening, please send pictures of pink Calamine Cars to shootthepink@gmail.com. I guarantee, the account is connected to my Outlook now. Please enclose your TTAC screen name for proper credit.

May the pink be with us.
