There is, after all, something cool about the color pink (or at least I think so). Cosmo, Vogue and Elle, while of dubious literary value and filled with appalling advertisements, provide hours of amusement ("Is he right for you? The fast, fun guide to men.") I now feel slumber parties just rock, especially when they involve gossip, hair-braiding and listening to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack...
Build it, and divinity will come. That's the hope of the Trinity Foundation, which is trying to erect the Templar, a pyramid of pink granite and obsidian with a 500-sq.-ft. base. It does not call itself a religion, but Trinity has certainly mapped out the hereafter.

The "Caddy that zigs" is aimed at younger, entry-level luxury buyers in their 30s and 40s, almost a generation behind most traditional Cadillac owners. The duck may entertain such prospects, but it also infuriated many Cadillac loyalists and even some of GM's top brass. In the past, the duck and the campaign (as well as whoever was in charge) might have ended...
