Pinkalicious

Yes, I went to Pinkalicious the Musical on Saturday.

But don't worry, I didn't go alone. I went with my favorite little babysitting buddies- ages 3 and 5. Aparently, pink is all the rage when you are five. Being the good babysitter that I am, I agreed to the outing. And so, their Mom, Grandma, Aunt, and I, and the little tykes of course, headed to the Orpheum in Sioux City for a pink extravanganza.

And let me tell you, I have never seen so much pink in all my life. I was instructed to wear pink by five-year-old Kate ("Greta- you HAVE to wear pink!"), and every other child in the audience happened to be wearing that lovely color too. Pink tiaras and pink boas and pink purses galor!

The show was..... cheesy, but cute. And for little Elin perched on my knee, it was thrilling! And for Kate, perched on my other knee, it was very funny! There was a lot of giggling and humming going on from my little audience members.

I have to give the actors credit for being willing to participate in the show. Not every female actor aspires to play Pinkalicious, the girl who eats too many cupcakes and turns pink. Yep- she had a pink bodysuit and pink wig and everything. Whew. When reading through the program, one does wonder why actors with numerous Broadway credits have chosen to be in Pinkalicious the Musical? Just a thought.

Elin was so enthralled with the show, that she ran around the aisles of Target afterwards yelling "Pinkalicious" at the top of her lungs, much to the amusement of the other shoppers. Oh to be three again.

So yes, that was my very pink experience. Priceless.
