Earlier this week Barbara Boser of 3 Dog Media made a post asking people to turn their avatars pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
So in an effort to help a good cause I tried to play along, however trying to turn my avatar a shade of pink wasn’t as easy as I thought, I ended up being several shades of purple.
