The second book in the popular Lulu Dark series, Lulu Dark and the Summer of the Fox
There’s no explanation about the appearance of a pink scooter on the book’s cover, but that’s ok - just having it there is enough for us to mention it.
And speaking of the cover, it’s waterproof. Take it to the beach or read it in the tub.
The Pink Bimba Scooter
According to the Kishorit web site, “Working helps members develop attributes of exactitude, concentration, manual labor, perseverance, control and individual considerations.”
The wooden Bimba scooter retails for approximately $95.
Dust off that sewing machine, because Reprodepot now has pink Etsuko Fuyura Echino Scooters fabric in stock (well, they call it magenta, but we all know it’s really pink). I’ve seen it listed at other fabric stores, but I’ve ordered from Reprodepot and they have great customer service. In addition to pink, it’s also available in teal and black versions. Note that the $9.95 price is per half yard.
Here’s another Flickr find, a great photo shot in Malaysia in the Sue Anna Joe photostream, entitled Colyn on a hot pink Vespa. Many thanks to Anna for permission to use the photo here. It’s unknown who the Vespa belongs to. See more photos in Sue Anna Joe’s photostream.
Lisa sent me another photo of one of her pink scooter collection (remember the Barbie series?). This time, it’s her pink Pottery Barn scooter lamp ridden by “Trendy Tracy,” a Ty doll that just happens to look like Lisa when she has long hair. Lisa found her lamp on ebay a few years ago, and they can occassionally still be found there for various prices. The tail light, blinkers, and headlight all light up.
P.S. Happy Birthday, Lois!! (that’s my sister). Hey, you know what? Trendy Tracy looks a little like Lois, too.
P.P.S. Thank you all who have sent donations for the Last Mile Ride! As you read this, I’m riding 100 miles on my Vespa along with 100+ motorcycles, dressed up in pink gear with my pink scooter seat cover. It’s not too late to donate, so get ‘em on in. 
I saw this great polymer clay sculpture on Flickr and just had to write the artist, Tamra, for permission to post it here (thanks Tamra!). It was made as commissioned piece, and the details on the pink Buddy are really cool. Check out her photostream for more photos of Pink Scooter, especially the close-ups.
This is a photo by Shaners Beckers that is another Flickr find. This fleet of Vespa LXs is dressed up as flamingos, he says, to advertise pink flamingos arriving at the Seattle zoo. I wonder what the riders were wearing?
When I saw this photo, I had to ask the photographer Daniel Anton for permission to post it here. He tells me that he took it this past June while on a trip through Europe. He took the photo in the city of Tallinn in Estonia. For more photos from his tour, you can check out his Flickr photostream. He didn’t know what brand or model it is, and I couldn’t read the badge on the front. Anyone know what it is?
I really like the slick look of the sporty Scorpion EXO-100 Solid Helmet - it’s a cool mix of a retro with a futuristic mod chick that I haven’t seen on other helmets. That funky tinted visor is retractable or removable if you want a the non-spacey look - and you can also get the visor in other colors, like amber, blue, or even clear. And check out the pink hibiscus liner.
The helmet is $119.95, and each additional Scorpion SpeedView Sun Visor would run you $12.99.
Does she look familiar? This photo comes from photographer Meredith Yayanos, who granted me permission to use the photograph here. She caught the same pink scooter rider on the streets of New York about a year and a half earlier than Nicolas in “Pink Scooter and Polka Dots.” This photo was taken in February of 2005, and Meridith calls it “Pink Mod Scooter Girl.” See the rest of Meredith’s photostream here.
