What's Between Red and White ....... Ah Pink .

      Well thinking of this from an anology standpoint. 1 + 1 = 2 well when mixing Red + White = Pink. Pink was first discovered in the 17th century. Up until the 1940s pink was generally associated with boys because it was strongly related in red, while blue was commonly associated with girls. Since then though it has been commonly associated with the females and all things feminine. It has been a particular stigma for female often leaving negative connatations of Barbies, Blonds, and airheads. Women have been trying to turn that negative connatation into an positive connatation. like Feminist Intitative, a Swedish radical feminist party, have used it "reclaim it." Also the most signifiance postitive connatation is the pink ribbon is the international symbol for the breast cancer awareness.
      I think is why Nicki has reveled in the role on a Black Barbie because it is not the norm. She has the figure and her ability to flaunt that color that would have never been assoicated with her has in actually helped her blossom and really helped with her success. I think maybe this is why she named her album Pink Friday. It is her somewhat signture color and instead of giving that word power she has given her self power.
