"Meeting" Mzzz Pink
On a hot July day in 2010, Craig and I were lazily sipping drinks at an outdoor bistro in York Beach, Maine. In a surreal flash, a young woman rode by on a pink bicycle wearing a matching pink polka-dot outfit, while talking on her neon green cellphone, the only thing surrounding her person that wasn’t pink.
We were star struck. We just knew there was something magical about this fashionista we nicknamed Mzzz Pink. For days we couldn't stop wondering about her, and then in another flash, we suddenly realized who she was. Mzzz Pink was the Madonna of an entire magical cartoon city we were about to create. When that young woman pedaled by dripping in pink, we caught a glimpse of our future.
