Pink Polo

I have a confession: I love a guy who knows how to wear pink. I had this boyfriend once and his coloring was such that he looked so cute in pink, but he just wasn’t having it. Too girly, I think was what he said.

But I don’t think it’s girly at all. (I heard a rumor once that a long time ago, boy babies were dressed in pink and girl babies were dressed in blue, but then it somehow got switched. I suppose I could chase this piece of information down on Wikipedia or something, but did I mention I’m on the beach? Drinking a pina colada at this very moment? Watching the young Mexican girls wear their amazingly large hoop earrings into the ocean? That is style. If Justin were here, I’d ask him to take a picture.)

DeAngelo Crawford also doesn’t think pink is girly.

“I wanted to wear pink today,” he said when we caught up to him in Overton Park. “Pink is my favorite color.”

The polo is Hollister, and the jeans are American Eagle. The wallet chain is Crawford’s own creation, a mixture of a few other chains he got from his brother and a friend.

New Competition for NWA on Memphis-New York Route

From CheapFlights.com: Look for new competition in the Memphis (MEM) to New York LaGuardia (LGA) market come December 13. Heretofore, Northwest Airlines has dominated the run. NW has a major domestic hub at MEM. Now comes word that American Airlines plans to loft what amounts to twice-daily nonstop service on the route beginning a few days before Christmas, just in time for the holiday crush.

Eagle will use a 37-passenger Embraer 135 regional jet on the route between the Home of the Blues and the City that Never Sleeps. Northwest employs full-size aircraft, while Continental Express connects Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and Memphis via Embraer Regional Jets.

This is an “O&D” (origin and destination) run for American Eagle. Most passengers using the flight will be headed for New York itself, not looking to connect onward to other flights.

Of all three New York airports — Kennedy, Newark, and LaGuardia — it’s the latter that specializes in origin and destination passage.
