* PinkIsErotic: The colour pink is used to indicate sexual confidence and the song "Think Pink!" was to encourage confidence in women and invoke sensuality as shown by the naked woman using pink shampoo, the recreation of Jean-Honoré Fragonard’s The Swing (which was similarly about sensuality), and the sexually appealing outfits.

An iconic 1957 movie musical starring Creator/AudreyHepburn, Kay Thompson and Creator/FredAstaire, and directed by Stanley Donen (''Film/SinginInTheRain'' and ''Film/SevenBridesForSevenBrothers''), based InNameOnly on a 1927 Broadway musical that also starred Fred Astaire.

Maggie Prescott (Thompson) is fashion editor looking for the next big thing - trying to find something intelligent and beautiful. She and photographer Dick Avery (Astaire) search for models who "think as well as they look." They decide to take over a village bookstore to use for a photoshot, much to salegirl Jo Stockton's (Hepburn) dismay as the shop is left in a total mess.

Dick notices Jo in one of the photographs and the pair decide to hire her as a model, which Jo only agrees to so she can take a trip to Paris to meet a philosopher whose work she admires, but her snobbish attitude softens over the film as she starts to enjoy the company of the handsome photographer.
