Does pink ever go out of style? I don't think so. This perennially popular color was once again seen all over the runways, just like last spring. And for those of us who love pink, that's good news. Here are 5 new items that will make any pink-lover happy.
Wasabi Portable Color Printer
Roughly the size of a box of kitchen matches (4.8" x 2.9" x 0.9"), the Wasabi portable printer from Dell is easy to bring along just about anywhere. It prints wirelessly (or via USB) and produces 2x3 sticky-back borderless prints using a new, inkless technology called "ZINK" (which stands for "zero ink"). You have to use the special ZINK paper, which looks like regular white photo paper, but has dye crystals embedded in it that, when exposed to heat in the printer, produce an image. The Wasabi comes in pink, blue or black, and costs .

Fluorescent Pink Diana F+ Camera
When I made the switch to digital after years of shooting with film, I found myself with quite a bit of unused film in my refrigerator door, getting closer to its expiration date every day. I couldn't stand the thought of just throwing it out, and kept hoping I'd come up with a creative way to use it.
If you got rid of your film camera when the digital craze began and now find yourself wanting to get back to basics occasionally, check out the cameras at the Lomographic Society. Inexpensive, plastic and with a huge variety of models and lenses all producing crazy creative images, the cameras offered here are just plain fun.
A new addition this spring is the hot pink Diana F+ medium format camera. If 120 film is not your thing (although I love the square negatives it produces), don't worry - you can get both a 35mm and an instant back as well. This retro-cool, plastic camera with removable lens (other lenses such as fisheye and telephoto are available) gives you gorgeous, soft focus, vignetted, saturated images that have a decidedly yesteryear look. The camera is available in many different configurations, but the basic kit, which includes the camera, an external flash, "More True Tales & Short Stories" Diana Vignettes hardcover book, color gel filters (for the flash), 12 & 16-shot format frames, shutter lock, neckstrap and lenscap, costs 5.
Sony's VAIO JS PC
This iMac look-alike comes in an elegant pale pink (as well as silver, black and bronze) and I have to say I do like the design. Other things to like, in addition to it taking up a lot less space than ordinary desktops, are: the 20.1" LCD display, 4GB of memory, the 2.50GHz, 2MB L2 cache Intel Pentium dual-core processor, the 500GB (7200RPM) SATA hard drive, and the built-in microphone and webcam (with face tracking technology). At the time of writing, it retails for 9.99
Dell's New Inspiron Desktops
I'm surprised it has taken so long for colorful desktops to show up on the market. There is no limit to the colors you can get on a laptop, but so far, it's been black or silver only for the desktops. Well, that's slowly changing, with the arrival of the VAIO above, and now Dell's new Inspiron line. They have so far only been released in China, but are scheduled to appear on the US market later this spring.
The 8 color choices include the candy colored "Promise Pink", which supports the Susan G. Komen foundation (Dell donates /sale to breast cancer research). The customizable Inspiron will be available both as a mini-tower and slim tower, and the starting price will be 9.
Pokens - Digital Business Cards
Spend a lot of time on social networking sites? Is keeping track of your IDs and other info starting to get difficult? Then check out Pokens, keychain-sized figures (with a USB connector) that can store all that info in one place for you. But not only that, by having your Poken high five another Poken, you can easily exchange your social networking profiles with friends, making it easy for them to find you quickly on Facebook, MySpace, etc. And the makers of this little gadget have thought of everything: if someone asks you to Poken with them, but you don't really want to, instead of rudely saying no, just press your Poken's palm twice, and it will go into "discreet" mode, and all they'll get is a "Ghost Card", none of your information. They cost around , and 2 of the figures are available in pink: the Geisha and the Piggy.
