Puzzling title, eh? Read on, and all will become clear ...
The last addition to the Peter Powell kites collection was something like two and a half years ago. So well over two years without getting a new Peter Powell kite; I was really suffering from Peter Powell Kite Withdrawal Syndrome ('PPKWS')! There is an obvious cure for this condition, and we all know what that cure involves ...
Checking the Peter Powell Kites web-site, I realised that I never did anything when Paul and Mark added the 'Bubblegum' kites to their stock a while ago. And to really make up for this gaping neon-coloured hole in my collection, I ordered not one, but a pair of these. Matching the pink centre panel, I felt that pink tails would be appropriate for these kites.
So here are #78 and #79 in the collection, on the ground and in the air!
Now, PP kites with a clear pink aspect .... doesn't that make you think of something else, with the same initials??
Exactly ...
And the Pink Panther is known to be a kite flyer; check out this "Sky Blue Pink" short movie:
Now let's bring this back to Peter Powell kites ... I can pretty much recreate this particular scene, with a PP cuddly toy suspended from a PP kite!
Now we have two of these 'bubblegum' PPs, don't we? As it happens, we also have two cuddly PPs (long story ...).
The Pink Panthers were quite exhausted from their first flight ...
I don't think anyone has ever flown a Peter Powell kite with a Pink Panther suspended from it, let alone a pair of them. So this is a first in the 13+ billion year history of the current universe ....
The weight of a PP-carrying PP nearly doubled, and that was very clear when flying them. Slower, less nimble when turning, and needing more wind. And, of course, there is only one piece of music we can ever fly this pair of PP-manned PP kites to if we ever fly them at a festival:
