Maybe it's hormones, maybe it's marketing, but suddenly I'm seeing visions of pink fins.
I have NEVER wanted pink fins. Okay, my beloved Mares Avanti Quattros ARE neon green. But they are my only piece of colored gear, practically. And they're easy to spot underwater. (As well as above ....)
But a chance encounter with a pair of full-foot fins has changed my life: excellent power, no booties, no hassle. Mares Avanti Quattro Power in metal grey is, was, my first choice. But then I stumbled across a pair of "flamingo" and black Avanti Tre.
Flamingo. Balmy Florida. Plastic lawn ornaments. Foam and plastic curlers.
Girly gear.
The last thing a dignifed diver needs, especially one who already wears Divegoddess skins. Then again.....Who wants to be another drone, one of the all-black masses? (No DIR slur intended.)
How many women -- and men -- here wear pink fins? How many would consider it? Do other divers make fun of you? Do you care? Do clothes make the man? Do fins make the diver?
There's a t-shirt around with a great slogan: Talk softly, but dress loudly.
Maybe I ought to reconsider those flamingo fins.....
