What's up with this? Is anyone else scratching their heads? Won't it be kind of hard to participate without pink gloves?:confused:

That's what we were thinking when Jean was talking about it- and we thought maybe they'd give everyone a pair- and then they didn't. :confused: Since they are planning on putting the video together in October for everyone to see, and we can't exactly ORDER them, I guess they just assume alot of folks own them. (not I!) And given what I've heard about them ripping easily, I doubt I'll waste the money. :)
 
I was thinking the same thing! I know a lot of people still have their old pink gloves, but I wasn't selling then, so I don't have any. How odd...I thought surely they were going to give us each a pair. :blushing: Oh well...no pink glove dance for me (unless a pair come in our changeover paperwork.) :rolleyes:
 
We thought for sure we'd be getting a pair too - I'm not buying another pair, so I guess we won't be doing a pink glove dance either.
 
I missed something..what are you talking about?

It was from Conference. Jean Jonas asked us all to make a video of us doing "the pink glove dance"--put on your HWC pink gloves and dance around like a fool and submit a video of it.

I'm sure more details will come soon.
 
This sounds like the most ridiculous thing ever. :)

I'm right there with ya. :rolleyes: :D :confused:
 
Ok, I am a mammography tech, so this is a big deal for me. I love the idea.

Have you folks seen all the "pink glove dance" videos on youtube? They are to raise awareness of breast cancer. If you go to youtube.com and search for "pink glove dance" a bunch come up. As a medical person, of course I love the hospital employee ones. I imagine that PC will try to edit a bunch of consultant videos into one that we can use to raise awareness. How cool if whole clusters sent theirs in, etc.

This is just one example. There are many more.

To you health!

You can purchase them for $9 on a supply order form. I thought that was a little much when I don't wear gloves for anything else. No dance for me I guess.
 
Do they have to be PC gloves?

Thanks Marghi for giving us a new perspective on this. I had no idea that the "Pink Glove Dance" was a phenomena!

I think that was the point - to coincide with the HWC sale in Oct.
 
I didn't realize that either!

We were surprised when they didn't give us all pink gloves as well. My director has a pair, so we were talking about doing something just using her pair. We'll see!

yes, and I must admit I have never seen them....I don't like gloves, I guess because I have to wear them at work.

but are they so distinctive that a viewer could tell they were PC? and are they $9? on the supply order? that's a steep price to participate in this....

Quite distinctive - they are pink down to the wrist, and then have a pink and white polka dot cuff. And yes, the price was always steep. We aren't even getting much of a price break on them, because the regular price is $10.

Oh! That makes much more sense and doesn't seem ridiculous at all. Previous comment withdrawn. I just thought it was one of those girly things they were wanting us to do.

And pink is my color! I look sexy in my pink polo. Only real men can pull off pink.
