Pink Diapers 117/365

Day #117.... September 17, 2009


Well its back to diapers since Mini Pink couldn't get the whole potty training thing down. Mini Pinkette thinks it's hilarious that she can do it and her brother can't so that is why she has the giggles. I think Pink has had enough of this baby stage. He said he can't wait until they grow up, but I gently reminded him it only gets much worse when they are teenagers! You better enjoy this stage while you can Pink! And don't worry I'm sure your future Mrs. Pink would love to help out!

Pink Potty 116/365

Day #116.... September 16, 2009

Pink thinks since his Minis are growing up its time to potty train them. I noticed I have a bit of an inconsistency here since they never really wore diapers in any of my pervious shots... but bare with me here. Mini Pink didn't want to learn how to use the potty. He prefers his diapers. Whereas Mini Pinkette proudly sat on the potty like it was no big deal.


I tried to recreate Pink's bathroom as close as I could when I used it in a few of his other shots such as Sick Pink. But this time I used my little tabletop light studio that I bought. I had my shot just how I wanted it and I was ready to upload it then I realized that I forgot the toilet paper!! How could I leave that out? So I shot it again and then realized that Mini Pink's hand was moved and it gave him a totally different expression. 3rd times a charm! Plus I had already given up... good thing this came out how I wanted it to!!

Rock a Bye Pinky 115/365

Day #115.... September 15, 2009


Oh my gosh!!!! My first picture on Flickr's Explore!!! I am so happy!!


The Minis wouldn't let me put them to bed while Pink was away on his date. They wanted to stay up until he came home to tell them all about the date. So even though Pink was a little mad at me... he went into the nursery and gave the Minis their bottles and told them all about his date. He said that he thinks she is the Pink one! They had a great date and they are going to take it nice and slow because Pink really wants this to work out. He still won't tell me who this mystery woman is though... he's afraid to jinx it. He said we can all meet her soon enough!


This title is inspired by yet another Pink Panther Episode "Rock a Bye Pinky" where a man and his dog staying in the woods keep Pink awake at night with his snoring. It's a good one! Just the title inspired me because obviously it has nothing to do with this picture... haha


After showing my Mom this picture she says she is a little worried about me because it is getting a little weird how I am taking my Pink pictures to "the extreme" Thanks Mom! haha I know I'm weird but this is my creative outlet. I have had so much fun on this project over the last few months! Feel free to think I'm crazy, but setting up and looking at my shots puts a smile on my face every day and I hope i can do the same for other people as well. It is all or nothing with me. Since I have had more time on each shot I have started to put a lot more time and care into them. What's the point of a boring 365 day project?!? This project has helped me immensely. In a way its therapy from my stressful life, giving me a good laugh every day. It has also drastically helped my photography skills and given me the confidence to try and follow my passion. So think what you may about this... I will continue and hopefully my shots will get even crazier and more extreme from here on out!!

Pink Checking in on His Minis 114/365

Day #114..... September 14, 2009

Pink has a date tonight with the girl he met on OkCupid!!! He wouldn't let me come because he said I jinxed him last time by acting like a paparazzi. Plus, someone had to stay home and watch the Minis. I assured him I was well qualified to take care of them but of course he had to call and check up on us. He also told us his date was going really well! Mini Pink was clapping and Mini Pinkette was cheering they were so happy to hear that! They would love a Pink Mommy! I told him to be careful and no funny business this time!! His last date ended as a disaster! He wouldn't give us any other details though. He said he was going to keep her a mystery until he knew things were going to work out for sure. Darn! We sure are curious!

OkCupid Username: Needy_Mr_Pink 113/365

Day #113.... September 13, 2009


Pink has decided he needs to be a little bit more proactive in his search for the perfect pink girl. Since he is always so busy with his Minis he hasn't had much time to venture out and find a date for himself. He decided to join OkCupid to test his luck. He has just received a message from someone and is really excited to check it!! Maybe she will be Mrs. Pink Right!!! Here is his profile... he tends to brag a lot! Hopefully that won't turn the girls off!!


When asked to describe himself he said he is Romantic, Sweet, and Funny


My Self-Summary
Hello! I am Mr. Pink. You may have seen me in my well known cartoon series The Pink Panther. I have been looking for love in all of the wrong places so I decided to come here to OkCupid to test my luck. I am looking for a lovely female who would love to share her life with me and my 2 Minis. They are great kids but they sure are a handful! I enjoy long walks on the beach, romantic dinners, and watching episodes of my cartoon. Currently, I am the star of a very exclusive project titled The 365 Day Pink Panther Adventure where I am photographed daily. Almost like a Reality TV Star. My life is extremely interesting. The first thing people usually notice about me are my stunning yellow eyes. Look into them and I know you will instantly fall deeply in love. You should message me if you are fun, love children, and want to be treated like a real Princess. I anxiously await your response!



Here is Pink's profile picture. Doesn't he look dreamy...?

Pink-A-Boo (Part I) 112/365

Day #112.... September 12, 2009

Inspired by the title of a Pink Panther episode Pink-A-Boo, Pink played Peak-A-Boo with his Minis. This is a 2 part shot for today! The episode isn't actually about playing Peak-A-Boo... its about a mouse in his house.. but very funny still!


I was looking all over online for free Pink Panther episodes to link to my pictures that inspired me and then I thought... DUH! YouTube!! I added 2 more links to episodes on my pictures. One on Day #13 A Match Made in Pink Heaven where Pink and his date watch his first episode "The Pink Phink" which happens to be one of my favorites!! And also on my Day #24 shot Pink of the Litter where Pink finds Pinkie at Petsmart. The episode is actually about cleaning up garbage, but the title inspired me and it is quite humorous! Check them out!

How Mini Pink Measures Up 111/365

Day #111..... September 11, 2009


Pink wanted to track how his Minis were growing. Mini Pink tried to cheat and stand on his tippy toes to try and get a few extra centimeters. Mini Pinkette wasn't to be fooled. Although, when it was her turn she tried to convince Pink to measure from the top of her big bow. Don't worry Minis.... one day you will be just as tall as Daddy Pink. FYI the Minis measure up to just under 3 inches. Without cheating....


Thats a pink ruler unfortunately it looks a little red though with the yellow background. I knew I shouldn't have used yellow but I wanted to use a totally different background. Oh well!


I was thinking about doing a shot for 9/11, but that is all I heard about on the radio and on TV all day so I thought I would give people a laugh for the day instead of remind them of a horrible event in American History. Although, I'm posting this late.... so it really doesn't matter whether I did it or not. But my payers are still with all of those families who have lost loved ones on that horrible day.

Pink the Debt Eliminator 110/365

Day #110.... September 10, 2009


Pink is helping me eliminate my debt by helping me cut up my credit cards.... he thinks that by just cutting up they go away. If only that were true! I have racked up quite a bit of credit card debt while in college. Now I am determined to get rid of it!! I made the mistake of accepting a few of the thousands of credit card applications that are mailed to clueless college students. I am very dangerous with money!! After watching the movie Confessions of a Shopaholic I was like alright... it's time!! I don't buy the typical girl things like clothes and accessories like in the movie. I actually spend most of my money on technology and entertainment... wow I sound more like a guy! haha I have a lot to pay off but hopefully soon I'll be debt free! Well at least credit card debt free... I still have a fortune to pay in school loans. Yay for the American way! Live in debt and get what you want! Man I wish I had been better with money! haha


It probably wasn't smart to put this online and put my credit cards out there.... but the cards have all been closed and you can't see the whole number, but please super genius crazy people.... don't steal my identity! haha

Pink at 9:09 9/9/09 109/365

Day #109.... September 9, 2009 - 9:09


Ok feeling a little uninspired today.... so I had to jump on the bandwagon and do a special shot for 9:09 9/9/09. Check out Slinky and Rururu celebrating as well! They also gave me the idea... sorry for copying guys! Pink made me mark on my calendar to remind myself to take a picture of him at 9:09 on 9/9/09. I wish I had some more time to think about how I was going to do this shot... I only had a few minutes before 9:09! Wow and it's Pink's 109th picture today!! How perfect actually! I wish I would have remembered so I could have actually planned it out! I just realized it was 9/9/09 today at work and tonight I went to go see the movie 9. It was pretty good... I had heard it was Tim Burton's. And since I'm a HUGE fan, I was extremely excited! However, I was a little disappointed when I found out he was 1 of 5 producers so it wasn't entirely HIS. Oh well...

Pink Memories 108/365

Day #108..... September 8, 2009


Pink decided to bring out the family album. Of course Mini Pink had to excitedly point himself out... he's such a show off!


Today my mom decided to go through this box of memories she had to look for a postcard my grandpa had sent her as a young girl. Unfortunately we had a flood in our basement not too long ago and almost everything in the box was ruined. She did salvage a few things... but what really hit me was looking at her old photos. Her old boyfriends, her Senior trip to Florida, and all of her other memories. It actually almost brought me to tears seeing my mom as a teenager and the life she had. Photo albums are so great to look back on. I know we should live in the present, but looking back at fond memories of the past is always a great experience. It tore at my heart to see her throw most of it out. But hey, it's really just the past anyway right? I wondered if I would have anything to show my own daughter one day.... my life doesn't seem like a fairy tale like my mom's did with all of her romantic love letters from boyfriends and fun parties. haha Mine would perhaps be pretty boring! Hopefully with this digital age we won't have to worry about our physical pictures being damaged.... just don't let your computer crash!

The Mini Pink Painting Service 107/365

Day #107.... September 7, 2009

The Mini Pinks found the paint samples that Pink had brought home from Home Depot not too long ago when he was trying to convince me to paint my room pink. He gave the idea up but when the Mini Pinks found them they got an idea. They picked out their favorite shade of pink and went to work. Pink was so scared about what I would say. I specifically told him that I DID NOT want a pink room! I would love to say that the Minis were only trying to help... but i have a feeling they are just wild little kids. I have a feeling Pink has had enough! I told him not to worry though... the paint will come right off.

As for the paint on Mini Pink... that was totally unintentional.. haha I dropped the paint brush while setting up this shot haha But just like the paint on the wall... it came right off of Mini Pink too thank god! haha

Hop on Pink 106/365

Day #106... September 6, 2009

This shot is inspired by Dr. Seuss's "Hop on Pop" in case anyone doesn't remember or has heard of that classic children's story. Since my boyfriend grew up in Mexico he didn't really get it.... haha Pink doesn't look too amused.... This fatherhood thing is really starting to get to him!

I'm pretty happy with how this one came out because it was a pain in the butt to set up! Mini Pinkette didn't want to hang right and I couldn't get Pink to lay down how I pictured it. I am way too critical of my pictures and there are a few things I would change about this, I don't like the way Pink's hand is up. But there was too much to control to notice every little detail until it was too late... but I am way too worn out to go back and try again.

Hide & Go Pink 105/365

Day #105... September 5, 2009

The Mini Pinks wanted to play hide and seek but Pink can't seem to find them! I don't think he's looking too hard... maybe he's playing dumb haha.

Mr. Pink Mom 104/365

Day #104.... September 4, 2009

Oh look! It's Mr. Pink Mom! He thought having Mini Pink was great... but now with Mini Pinkette joining the crew, he is starting to realize the amount of work is he now going to have to take on! He looks a little stressed! Maybe I need to find him a Pink wife to help him out!!

Pink is Multiplying! 103/365

Day #103.... September 3, 2009

She's here!!! May I introduce to you.... Mini Pinkette!! Everyone had some very creative guesses to who my new character might be! This was probably too obvious (or too over done haha) for anyone to guess! Pink and Mini Pink are really surprised! They are asking each other who is she?!? Where did she come from?! They will be one big happy pink family soon! They just need to get over their confusion!


On a sad note... I think I need to get my camera cleaned!! :-( There are these weird spots on my shots no matter which lens I use so I'm assuming its inside the camera! And there's this weird spec by one of the focusing brackets but luckily it doesn't show up on my shots! I need to clone out these strange spots for the time being.... a few of my older pictures had them too but since I just got Photoshop Elements I will have to fix them!!

The Early Pink Gets the Worm 102/365

Day #102... September 2, 2009

Pink got up early this morning to find some worms. He says he wants to go fishing one of these days. As long as he doesn't try to catch one of my Beta fish!!

I wanted to do this shot before my dad ate all of my Oreos.... yes this is an edible mudpie! Oh did I make a mess!!! My original idea for this shot was to have Pink standing up and pulling the worm out but I can't find a way for him to hold things! I tried sticky tack and a string but nothing worked! Pink kept falling in the mud and I needed to wipe it off of him! I need some better ways for pink to hold things! I did buy my new pink character today so maybe she will make an appearance tomorrow!!

Pink Party Leftovers 101/365

Day #101... September 1, 2009

Pink is finishing the cake from last night. He is such a pig! Mini Pink is also just diving right in! They had a great time at their party last night. Pink is already planning out his 200th Pink Pic Party.... oh geez..... He says it has to top the 100th one! I'm intrigued by what he will come up with this time! Maybe tomorrow I will be introducing my new Pink character... one last chance to guess who it's going to be! Here's a clue.... she's small and Pink
