Inspired by Rachel McAdams’ Pink Hair
I was having some issues about which color to select to compliment the black and white on my website. First off, thanks to all of those who voted, and please don’t think I choose pink to spite you all.
My wife Shelly and I were sitting in our family room last night watching a recap of the SAG Awards when I noticed some shots that TV Guide Channel had of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling walking down the red carpet.
Now if you’ve ever been to my about page, you’ll see that The Notebook is one of my favorite movies. (As an aside, that movie was the last date that Shelly and I went on before we had Zach.) And if you’re looking for a movie to rent on a rainy night, check Rachel out in The Family Stone. Great movie, and she’s pretty funny in it. (the general storyline ala Meet the Parents)
So I’m a fan of both Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, and am pulling for their relationship to work. And to be honest, I must say that pink hair highlights at a major celebrity award show is very risky, but those at TV Guide Channel and E! didn’t seem to mind. I guess if the fashionable know-it-alls such as Joan and Melissa think pink is in, then I should be safe with it on my website.

Not to worry Brian, I still like it even with the pink. Congrats on new look. You did an excellent job.
Thanks Yannick, glad you like it! I might need all the male support of pink I can get!
I would have chosen blue… but pink is great!
And pink is not dead:

I really like your new design.
mmm I love the new design. I totally want you to redesign my site. If only I had money…
@ Lisa & Jenny - Thanks for the great words, and I’m glad to know that pink is not dead!
Nice redesign Brian - you are a rebooting junky!
Guilty as charged Brian, I am a junkie, and I admit I have a problem. Guess that’s the first step to recovery, isn’t it?
Love the new look! I love that movie too. Haili and Riley used to make fun of me because I would watch it ALL the time and still cry! I didn’t know they were together now…

Forgot to add…guess who emailed me out of the blue the other day…
Cari
Frank Morley? Rick Ollman? Kim Davis?
Oh just amy…I haven’t talked to her since last year..
Cari
Frank did email me in the spring last year though. He is married and has a little girl!
Funny how we all grow up and get older. Hard to believe we met 17 years go, huh?
First off, I’m using a modified version of your “Navigate” theme (which I love). That sparked me into reading your weblog and I love pink. I think you’ve chosen a great color theme and although I did not watch the SAG awards, I am a major lover of “The Notebook” though I still haven’t made it to see the end, as I wind up using a whole box of tissues before then. Great website and I look forward to reading more!
i really like the pink hair too!!
:p
i love the pink hair 2!!
i heart the pink hair 2!
:p
Now that her and Ryan Gosling are over. She is again talking to an ex before Ryan. His name is Alan Premel. He is a war hero from the balkans and just came out on USA Today, and CNN a week ago declaring that he was CIA. He talked about doing a spy love story and wants rachel to be in it. Maybe they can rekindle an on screeen romance again since Ryan ditched her for his career. The Notebook is a wonderufl movie to rent. i loved it.
