The pink ribbon is known worldwide for being tied to breast cancer awareness. Awareness is effective because people
cancer victim, a victim constantly bombarded by pink ribbon culture and the overwhelmingly positive attitude that comes with it, she shows how America’s “retreat from real life drama and tragedy of human events is suggestive of a deep helplessness at the core of positive thinking” (Ehrenreich 59).

She runs her fingertips over her bun to secure loose tendrils of gold hair. A few loose hairs stick up at the top of her forehead as she tries desperately to lay them down.

These programmatic elements yielded a simple building that followed his five points of architecture (peloti, ribbon windows, a roof garden, free façade, and free plan).

It was definitely time for me to get my hair done. I opened the pink spray painted back door, and was flooded with scents of Moroccan and citrus smelling hair products.
