A study in contrasts

[Ted iin Michigan]

We all know how the choice of pen body type can influence the "mood" of a pen. I was thinking if I could take a pen that is trypically marketed to a specific gender and change it to the opposite. Here's what I got:

The PSI Vertex (a real good seller for me) normally goes to Guys - masculine stuff. So I normally dress it up (chrome or gun metal - no gold - ugh!) in a wood like Zircote, Tamboti, etc. Or I give it an acrylic like this: (it's called "my 2 cents" from Exotic Blanks)

To "change" genders, I tried the satin version and styled it up like this: (it's called "pink sky" from PSI, I believe)

Thoughts?

Just an exercise.

I love them, and I've tried the same approach, but my wife tells me that there is no way that she or any of her friends would purchase a vertex pen.
They are just not for girls.

Two more really great looking pen's Ted. I like them both.

Ted, for my 2 cents, I think you have a Pen that will cross the Gender Barrier.
True there are a number of, Ladies, who will not necessarily look twice at it, because the structure of the kit is a little rugged, and considered "Masculine".
But one should consider for example, that Denim Jeans were once the province of Males.
Occupations like Cabinet Making, Automotive Mechanical Repairs, Commercial Aircraft Pilots, Armed Services, Mechanical and Civil Engineering, only to mention a few that not long ago were the considered the sole province of the Males.
But, now the Females have embraced these and numerous others.
So that now there is virtually no Gender Bias. Anything and Everything is up for grabs.
I believe there will be many Females, who will see the beauty of the Vertex, and want to have it.
I will now stand back and wait for the Blast.
BTW Great pens Ted.

All - Thanks for the comments. As. Brian notes above, I will now sit back and wait (to see if there are any xx chromosome types that like the pink pen. Will report my findings.
