Re: Carolyn Tripp
I like the forms but the colours are, for me very feminine. Like book covers of book by women for women it just say not for you (for me) move along.
Is it me?

Well no, that is only recently
Long explanation: In the past, back in Edwardian times pink was for boys (Mars God of War red) and blue (Madonna blue) for girls. Winston Churchill himself used to wear(corrected) pink silk French knickers his whole life. His wife Clementine surely got a shock on the wedding night.
This book explains how Disney has manipulated us. In the past colours were neutral and boys and girls shared one set of xxxxxxx but no boy is going to be seen dead in a pink pair and conversely no girl will be seen in a boys colour.

There is another item I read on books written by women for women with very girly book covers.
