Astro-Query: Which Sign The Girliest Girl?

Frank+Uyttenhove+-+intel-1Frank Uyttenhove

Which sign is most likely to have had the girliest childhood??? I mean females, obviously. And I am thinking girlie as in pink a la the above and stuffed toys…I always think Libra goes with pink. But added some stuffed toys into the equation and we have Cancer/Kataka.  Like the magnificent Barbara Cartland.

And I have Moon in Libra but never craved pink. Then again, given this little girl’s martial stance, could she be an Aries or sporty Sagg who has had pink IMPOSED upon her?

And, gentleman/gay ladies, have you ever gone to a potential lovers house and been freaked out by a variety of stuffed toys? Pinkness in an adult? And by the way, speaking of pink, i saw a really HOT pink tradies truck drive by the other day and the guy in it had,um, muscular definition. He was driving too fast to tell anything else. But the name of his business, all over his truck, was ADULT PLUMBING. And with a hot pink truck.

So, your bedroom as a child if you are female – pink or what? Stuffed toys??? This will have to drag over into the nostalgic Cancerian Moon due soon.

Also, thoughts on adult peeps with too much pink/stuffed toys?  And what sign is the Adult Plumbing dude???

    adults, ok grown women, with a lot of stuffed toys and pink stuff , gingham, etc really freak me out. it seems a bit like denial to me?

    When I was in college at uni and there were girls there age 18-23 with 10 teddy bears on their bed, checkered bedspread, ewwwwwww? how is that going to get you laid? hahaha. no really.

    I do have 2 stuffed toys. one is a small toothy critter (NOT a teddy bear/doll) I bought myself at age 19 when I was feeling lonely and found myself in a $2 shop. the other thing is a freakish looking dog that an aunt gave me as a joke one recent christmas.

    Yep, I had pink, frills, dolls and ballet imposed on me. I climbed trees with the frills and returned dirty and frills astray. I used the dolls for target practice with my rifle. The pink I did my best to turn into mud and I was kicked out of ballet as I discovered different speeds and ways to slide across the floor! ; >

      I was happiest up a tree across the road from our house…it leaned out over a creek and I could climb it with a couple of apples and a book and stay there for hours…and my little sister wasn’t allowed to cross the road…so a space that was all mine up in the air, over the water, connected to the smell of the bush…it was a huge old paperbark…and sometimes I could go down an play with the soldier crabs in the mud when the tide went out. I think that was my happiest 3 squared metres…nothing faux girly. Loverly.

    oh god, flashback! my venus in libra mother was also the craft teacher at the local rec centre and made me and my sister’s rooms an obsessively matched dollhouse for her 2 pretty ungirly daughters. I have perfect photographic memory of the incident and still rib her over choice of decor.

    Funnier still that my uber leo father with cancerian asc is now with a woman (who is pisces aqua cusp but must have a WAD of cancerian in there) who is even more obsessed with craft decor than my mother was ! The whole house is a homage to THE scariest old english/ little girl/ craft aesthetic. Everywhere- stuffed bears, some with wasitcoats holding hands with female counterpart bear, dolls with bonnets, patchwork cushions with obsessive amounts of stitching detail, floral on floral on floral. Decoupage

      Oh Lord Ms you gave me a flashback to craft classes. I failed those too as sewed the wretched skirt in such a way that a body could not actually wear the hideous thing! The Austrian sewing teacher’s face would get all prunie whenever she spoke to me. In home science I did some fab experiments with food and the girlie girls who always remembered to bring in table cloths and centrepieces looked at me with great disdain, but I had great fun! Do you know egg beaters when whirled around after fluffing up eggs whirl out wonderful snow flakes across a room. They literally waft across the air and then stick to whatever they touch

    I have a very specific pink story from my childhood.

    My mother had just remarried and we were going to move into the stepfather’s house. To sweeten the deal, I was told that my room in stepdad’s house was going to be all pink. I was about 6 or 7 at the time and thought the idea of a pink room totally thrilling.

    However…when we arrived at the house I was devastated to discover that my room was not as totally pink as I had been told. A ghastly yellow lino was on the floor clashing painfully with the hot pink of the bedspread, curtains etc.

    I pride myself on my aethestics these days, not sure if I was aesthetically offended at 6, or just felt betrayed by adults again!

    Anyway, proof that this Leo child was into pink.

    I had an aqua room as a child, then an emerald green room growing up (Leo, Scorpio rising, moon in Libra), then a navy blue room as a teen. Always HATED pink for decoration, don’t mind it for clothes/makeup when it’s done right.

    I think the Adult Plumbing man was a Pisces; I bet he was chatty, into outdoors stuff (thus the bod) and had absolutely NO personal bubble. I know a few of these types and no matter how nice they are, I always am surprised by their lack of personal space.

    I loove pink & did not get to have the bedroom as the one above but I think I would have loved it.

    But there is no way I could have gotten through the door you see I was very much overshadowed by brother who was more feminine than I. He took off with every barbie doll I ever had & hid them in his room, only to parade them about in the latest fashion creation he designed. My dad just let him ago but it was arian nun aunt who tried to enforce strict blue & pink rules upon our gifts & returned all the barbie dolls back to me whenever she was visiting. I felt sorry for him & gave them back to him as soon as she left.

    I have one fondest memory of receiving my one & only pink bike.

    One xmas morning my brother & I saw 2 bikes underneath the tree. One a latest bmx model & the other a beautiful pink bike with all the trimmings. My brother squealed & raced over to my brand new pink bike & leapt on it. He loooved it! He peddled out of the family room, past my dad who bug eyed watching him & took off out the front door. I remember staring down the hallway out the front door seeing my brother riding around doing figure eights on the street. My god was he happy until dad told him to come inside.

    So you see I love pink, but there is just no way I could wear it or have much to do with it now….reminds me of my brother & that pink bike…

    Ooh, I wasn’t a pink girl but I did love my stuffed toys rather than dolls. I projected personalities onto them so if they got crushed underfoot or destroyed in any way, I was devastated. They remained (and still remain, somewhere in storage) in pristine condition because I loved them so much.

    Hmm, can you tell i didn’t get enough love from my parents??

    Have much purple in my house now. AND I have an odd fetish for soft furnishings – cushions, plush throw rugs, more cushions…

    My Sagg daughter started life with a rather tasteful (for the late 80s) bedroom of deep cream with lots of navy and white fabric contrasting. She never wanted to sleep. She would be pushing to stay up after 10pm in case she was missing something.every.night.for.years….this went on from when she was about 6 months.

    Our Aqua child had been easy, sleeping at 8pm, waking at 8am…we were getting crankier from lack of sleep. We tried all the techniques, asked the local gp doctors, relatives and assorted books advised.

    Then I read an article on how pink was calming in male prisons somewhere in some state in the deep south of the US of A….and bam that room became a homage to pink.

    We recycled the old holly hobby curtains that the aqua child had had, and there was muted pink below a wallpaper band of bows and half strength pink above. This room reeked little girl. Mind you at this stage she was 3 and demanding black patten shoes with lace adornments too so it’s not like she wasn’t showing some ready acceptance. Sleep patterns regulated…and we like to think that pink had some sort of influence…because honestly we’d tried everything else.

    By the time she was 5 we’d moved and the new house ended up a soft green that the paint company called air…and she had the odd accent of pink..and assorted jumble of colours re:stuffed toys …but pinks heavy duty application never needed to be repeated.

    Now she also never wears pink…or has anything pink near her, ever.

    Hated pink and never had a pink bedroom. Blue was my colour of choice. Favourite toy: lego & books. Libra Sun Scorpio Moon & Neptune.

    My sister the Scorpio loved pink, everything was pink, it was an insane pink world even her soap was pink. Now that I think about it why the hell did SHE get special soap LOL. Miss piggy, strawberry shortcake. I’m sure there are other pink mentors I’m unaware of.

    The differences in our formative leisure activities are interesting too – she would go shopping, I would go to the museum. I would get dropped off at the library while Mum shopped she would shop with mum. She still likes to shop. I still like to read.

    As an aside growing up my bedroom was also a soft green…and the curtains were some 50s style chunky slubby fabric, with pink cabbage roses on it…I think Mum recycled them somehow from my Leo Nan’s fabric stash.

    This memory is way before any awareness of my Leo-ness…but I used to lay awake and squint my eyes a bit and I could see a whole lot of lions ready to leap about out of my curtains. I always thought that the curtains were the coolest things because they were hiding in the day time disguised as stupid fat roses, but at night man those lions were fierce.

    was very girly and a kid. From ages 3.5 – 6 i REFUSED to wear pants or shorts. Dresses and skirts only. Begged for pierced ears at age 6 and wore dangly earrings all the time. Best toys were my little ponies, barbie, those little sylvanian animals, paper dolls and dolls house.

    Piceas sister had no interest in the girly stuff. she liked drawing, dinosaurs and following mum around the garden. Although she did pinch all my old dancing costumes and wear them everywhere. Usually with gumboots.

    (Sun & Mercury in Libra.) I longed for a pink & green frilly princessy bedroom when I was a kid, but I didn’t even have my own room & the entire apartment was decorated in functional, masculine grays & browns (Leo father; Gemini mother – my mother was none too happy about those grays & browns, either).
    I wanted a canopy bed with my whole heart but I had a space-saving folding bed instead. (Poor me.)
    I did have a nice dollhouse. A few pretty frills there.

    That does look like an Aries child on the bed – or maybe a Leo child who’s mad about all those toy horses she inherited from her aunt when what she asked for was toy lions.

    The girl in the pic may be a Sagg. Look at all the horses in the background. Could be a Pisces too as i know they love creatures.

    I think the girliest girls are Taurus or Pisces. They always seem to look like women no matter what. Always a nailpolish on and mascara. I could never keep up with that and I’m a Libra.

    A guy with a pink monster truck? LOL! Maybe Pisces or sick Ariean.

    They say if you like pink it means you are a loving and giving person in colour theories. Used too much can create physical weakness in a person.

    I dislike pink in large quantities. Small touches of pink are fine. I had plenty of stuffed animals. Me and my sister used to make a lion/monster pit/gladiator arena to “feed” barbie dolls to for make-believe.

    LOVE HOT PINK – want my fire-fighting uniform to be hot pink instead of yellow. I have hot pink stripey socks in my fire boots and a pink smoke mask so that everyone on the fire ground knows its me! Have two hot pink and gold embroidered saris in my bedroom for curtains and wear dashes of hot pink with black to cheer myself up. Hot pink toenails also make me smile! When I was a child my fav colour combination was pink and white.

    But stuffed toys – erk! Firstly, I was allergic to dust mites as a kid and stuffed toys are dust-mite / germ cities. Secondly, my dad always used to go for ‘women’ who had stuffed toys on their beds or dangling from their nifty little cars… Lets NOT go there actually.

    Barbies? My sister and I broke the legs off our barbies, threw them off the top story of my bunk bed then buried them forever. Ahh memories. :)

    PINK no way, Jose, same for stuffed toys, dolls & stuff but had from age 6 months, Teddy, until i was 12 then a gorgeous Golliwog Nana made before they were banned for being politically incorrect, can you believe.
    Golliwogs are being made again i noticed for sale in trendy Florist Shop, some-one has remembered the joy they gave before becoming illegal!

    all five of my daughters have been through their ‘pink phase’ (well, the dung bug is still there)… that’s two cancers (both aqua rising), a Sadge, a Virgo and a Taurean. I must say that the Sadge moved on the fastest (went from pink fairy dresses to black ones an on to black turtlenecks and jeans fairly quickly). The dung bug wants to wear her pink tutu 24 hours a day at present, and when asked to describe anything she will exclaim ‘pink!’ if she likes it and ‘monster!’ if not (‘pink!’ being the highest compliment).

    This too shall pass.

    The bedroom I first had any say over had floor to ceiling windows on 3 walls, so I had floor to ceiling drapes in deep turquoise, royal purple and deep sea green. Bliss!

    Now I have white on white on white bedding and no say in room colour as home is a rental. Given a choice, I’m a fan of neutrals I can dress up, or deep clear blues, reds or ice whites so I can make an impact…

    Was never a pink girl, it was always reds, blues, blacks. Clear colours essentially. And my 6 sisters are pretty ungirly… but my Aries sister had a pink fairy wedding dress…. rest of the time she’s hippy girly. The others are all emo’s…. or sporty…. Aqua, Taurus x 2, Cancer, Leo…. Never done their charts….. hmmm

    I think all little girls like pink. My sagg niece loves it. She is not sporty AT ALL and often falls over her own feet, so maybe she is an aberration? I often think of taurus girls when we talk about overtly feminine traits- the long hair, long nails, baby voices, laying on the flirts. The libran ladies I know are all a bit masculine- one I suspect is even a tranny.

Pisces moon. I do agree that most little girls go through this phase. I am aries power ranger, but love getting all fluffed up in pink sometimes.

    A few of my gemini friends are very girly even in their 40’s and 50’s. And I don’t know if Taureans actually get past about 7.(see Tones post)

    I was never given pink stuff or barbie dolls as a kid (secretly feminist mum) and hated dolls – stuffed animals were ok though.
    I don’t really do girly even to this day. I suspect Scorpio girls may be born grown-up or at least “knowing” and perhaps mature backwards.

    I have a sparkly disco ball in my room but it isn’t pink … More to do with my Andy Warhol Factory fixation than anything else …

    I have two younger sisters, one Libra, the other Pisces; oddly enough Libra is the tomboy and Pisces is the girly girl. Pisces has all pink everything, stuffed animals, ballet classes – the girlier the better. Libra is one year younger and doesn’t like pink. Maybe she’s in denial? Our Aries mother LOVES pink even though I don’t consider her a very ‘feminine’ person…

    As for me, I was girly as a very young child and at some point, around age 6, basically rejected my femininity and began hating, or maybe fearing, pink; I became a full-blown tomboy, would only wear ugly big boy clothes, and climbed trees and rode bikes and hung out with the older boys in my neighborhood. I think I was trying to become a boy, like literally I wanted everyone to call me a boy name… It’s weird, looking back, because I was soooo girly at first and then so ashamed of it. I’m still getting over the tomboy thing. Oh yeah – I’m a Gemini.

    I loooved pink as a girl, I remember salivating over a pair of pale primrose satin ballet slippers and I think I still get shivers!! However I grew up in a house where there were few toys, no plastic and absolutely no barbie dolls etc. I made bows and arrows out of bamboo and climbed trees.

    My room was painted a particularly powerful gold yellow that had my brother and I racing about at all hours, good protective colour I think now, though perhaps a bit zippy. Guess it appealed as am Leo. Have Mercury, Venus and Saturn in Cancer with Pisces in Jupiter? I think it is the watery based Leo that loves the pink.

    How I dreamed about pink! I like it in small doses today, salmon and chalkier pinks suit pretty well, it can be charming and uplifting worn properly.

    people are drawn to pink when they want to feel safe / nurtured. I went through a phase of it about 3 years ago after a bad breakup, a friend of mine broke up with a long term relationship at the same time and did the same — her dream was to have a pink bedroom with white and green roses. This is soft pale pink, not any other kind.

    I am over it now and more into aqua’s, greens, etc. I do like pink in its place. I do have it in my cupboard and wear it when I want to feel coddled.

    Worst thing you can do: when I was a student teacher on prac, I was wearing almost entirely pale pink (well, that’s what I felt I needed). It also screams: Vulnerable, soft, give me a hard time if you are a horrible bored class of 14 year old kids.

    I felt very deprived as a kid in the 70’s – had a double-Aquarius mother who was rebelling against pink, dolls, flowers, etc. for HER daughters. I remember getting my own room and being told I could pick the wallpaper for it (excitement). From a strictly limited palette of brown, brown, and brown. I chose the one with the least brown (tiny brown leaves on a white background) but this has stuck with me… I was always told as a child that I “couldn’t” wear pink while my sisters could (this was sheerly my mothers projections) so every so often I do like to have something pink to say Yes I AM a girl and bloody get over it. My mother still feels the need to comment on it whenever I wear it. No, I don’t suit “rosy” pink but ice-pinks are just fine.

    I am always going to let my kids have a huge amount of free rein in choosing the colours / styles of their clothes and rooms – this is bloody important. Colours affect the psyche and kids instinctively know what colours they need.

    ps. i can’t handle the adult women with stuffed animals – one or two from childhood is ok, but to continue to collect them ??!!! Strangely enough I went to a wedding with a teddy bear them (you guessed it, she was a teddy bear fetishist) – it didn’t last. I thought it was a bit odd but years later I had a boss (in his 50’s) who had recently remarried a lovely lady I was chatting to at a function. She also had a teddy bear thing and I understand they also had a teddy bear thing going on at their wedding.

    well, takes all sorts… but I can’t believe the amount of MONEY they spend on it. I believe it is trying to make up for what they perceive as not getting enough love as a child… but surely there are other ways to deal with this?

    The ideal thing for these women is to have little kids of their own, then they can indulge their toy buying fetishes continuously and claim it is all for the kid…

    The most girly girls, I think:

    Taurus with something feminine on the Asc
    Taurus with Libra friend is mega house proud, LOVEs make up and dress ups… she is lovely but kind of leaves me cold when we do these things as I seriously can’t relate. We went to a “pampering” night for nutrimetics last night, she seriously loved it – but hey when you look great in stuff, of course you will love it – with me if I try to go make up or anything, it just looks horrendously fake.

    Librans – I don’t find to be very girly. Or, they are SO girly in some ways that they don’t need the pink / frilly dresses / stuff like that. That would be pure overkill. My little cat is a Libran and intrinsically feminine, but “NOT” cuddly or one to be bossed around. Most Libran women I know “seem” to not put that much effort in, with hair, makeup etc. They will even pretend to be tough, with black tshirts, jeans, thongs etc. The feminininty shines through none the less.

    Leo’s – trying to be girly just doesn’t seem to work. I work with a lot of Leos and they are all modern independent women with a more “uncluttered” style… interesting, but certainly not fussy or frilly.

    Cancerians also seem to do the girly thing a bit – depending on Moon, Asc etc.

    but I almost think “homey” decorating belongs to another era – doilies and stuff – how could anyone possibly LIKE it?

    im a cappy chick and as a child, i had a pale yellow room which i detested.
    i wanted a blue/purple room and insisted upon having it delishiously messy. but mum of course wanted it insanely tidy. the only way it stayed like that was because she tidied it for me *rolls eyes* mothers.
    i just asked her if i was girly. it was a ‘yes’ up until i was around 8-9.
    i liked climbing trees and making mess and trouble as well though *confused* what does it all mean?
