Oh no, say anything but… is pink out in the mobile world? Sure, T-Mobile (Mr. Pink themselves) and Verizon, Sprint… have great new phones in pink (stay tuned for some of these)… but AT&T (a bit of a leader since the iPhone) only has slightly older models in the shade(s).

With them, and others too (eek!) what abounds is a sea of red. Is red really the new chic color for girls…huh?

Well if you’re a pink warrior like I, you don’t need to fret whatever your carrier is…. there are usually pink snug-fitting cases/faceplates for at least the most popular or coolest models or shapes. (And the shape/opening style is one actually more important feature, thanks to availability of covers, yes I must admit).

Example, this transparent hot pink case for the (AT&T) Pantech Duo from EliteExtreme.

So you shouldn’t delay when in need of upgrading your old phone. (Older models are faster obsolete with the new 3G, in my speculation.) Find your best “fit” and browse for some fitting & flattering shaded case. Who knows, you might prefer a black & white polka dot cellie instead! There’s a world of imagined possibilities out there. Phones can be like clothes. (And that’s why this blog exists.)

So you know we girls like to treat ourselves with one great present each holiday season? Well Paris Hilton is like the ultimate girly-girl, so hers would be pink (awesome, of course) and even more great for this blog is its a big fantastic gadget – a car. Paris Hilton custom ordered herself an early Christmas present of a pink Bentley. Complete with pink/black interior, tricked out speakers in the trunk (I never understood that actually) and even oh-so glitterati-fab tinted/protective windows to prevent paparazzi snap flash-and-crash. (Oh well that’s actually necessary, right? Paris wants to drive well, now.)

Check out a video of Miss Hilton unabashedly gushing over her lavish and carefree expenditure – some girls just really do want to have fun, eh? C’est la trés rare vie!

Every girl has the pink Barbie Corvette, huh? (And Paris even upgraded to a Bentley.) I remember I had a pink Cadillac – so classic, but yep, I was the normal girl with Barbies who rode Fords. Le Sigh!

(OK OK I also had a little red speedster sports car, but I’m too girlie to remember what “brand” it was! Oh! and I had…….)

In my last article I tried to convince all chic geeks NOT to lust after a computer merely for its pink sheen, when instead we can have a perfectly tailored skin.

Whether you have your laptop or are about to buy one, you can go to SkinIt.com, pick your ‘puter and choose from numerous designs, photoshop-up a large image or opt for a mixture of any pictures, a solid color, etc. – many options here for the uber-geek-artiste to the laywoman or even the lazy woman.

And you can skin more than just computers (although only laptop computers are an option); you can doll up anything from printers to headsets (wow). Check this page for a list and portal to all supported devices.

Extra benefits of going in just skin: protection from scratches and dirt AND you can collect new ones every so often (or a bunch at once) and switch them out with your mood, changing obsessions or when a trend is out. They’re not super cheap, but to make your comp chic, at around $30 each, it’s not comparatively expensive to dress your favorite toy/best partner than it is to dress your own … skin.

When I bought my laptop, Dell was (unbeknownst-to-me) about to debut laptop skins—with custom “you-designing” available (see next post), and I was bummed I missed out on THAT. (I did get my skin later though.)

And just recently Dell put out the XPS laptop available with a “flamingo” pink actual body, shiny metal and all – also (Product) Red, blue and black.

Now after checking out the “Build Your Dell” features, I don’t feel so bad at all.

I mean: Should I/you get a computer/laptop just because it’s pink??!!!
