THINK PINK. ¡Veámoslo todo de color de rosa!

Por unos minutos...
¿Os imagináis todo de color de rosa, hasta el champú o la pasta de dientes?.

Pues es lo que nos propone este pasaje de la película  "Una cara con ángel" (Funny Face, 1957).

 

Productora: Paramount Pictures

Adoro esta película y esta escena en particular, no sólo por el estilismo tan elegante e impecable que me "chifla",(fijaros en el baile final, qué monísimas están vestidas con los guantes y sombreritos) sino  también por la energía que transmite.

Nunca me canso de verla. La escucho y al momento me veo bailando por el pasillo cual Kay Thompson lanzando su rollo de tela.

Es un subidón, una joya del cine de esas que son y seguirán siendo maravillosas eternamente.

Esta es la letra:

MAGGIE.

Think pink! think pink! when you shop for summer clothes.

Think pink! think pink! if you want that quel-que chose.
Red is dead, blue is through,
Green's obscene, brown's taboo.
And there is not the slightest excuse for plum or puce
or chartreuse.
Think pink! forget that Dior says black and rust.
Think pink! who cares if the new look has no bust.
Now, I wouldn't presume to tell a woman
what a woman oughtta think,
But tell her if she's gotta think: think pink

 WOMEN.
for bags! pink for shoes!
Razzle, dazzle and spread the news!
And pink's for the lady with joie de vive!
Pinks for all the family.
Try pink shampoo.
Pink toothpaste too.
Play in pink, all day in pink,
Pretty gayin pink.
Drive in pink, come alive in pink,
Have a dive in pink.
Go out dancing but just remember one thing:
You can get a little wink
If you got a little pink
In your swing.

MEN (::painters, with NYC accents::)
Think pink! think pink, it's the latest word, you know.
Think pink! think pink and you're Michelangelo.

WOMEN.
Feels so gay, feels so bright.
Makes you day, makes you night.
Pink is now the colour to which
you gotta switch!

MEN.
(--Do what you gotta switch!--)

WOMEN.
Every stitch!

MEN.
(--Every stitch you switch!--)

MAGGIE.
Think pink! think pink on the long, long road ahead.

WOMEN And MEN.
On the road, (--And MAGGIE--) think pink!

MAGGIE.
...think pink and the world is rosey-red

WOMEN And MEN.
(--Everything's rosey.--)

MAGGIE.
Everything on the great horizon,
Everything that you can thinkâ€"
and that includes the kitchen sink,
Think pink!

WOMEN And MEN.
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink
Think pink, think pink!
