    Hey there...I'm a girl..and looking at it..it's really not so bad.

    I would say it's more Unisex. :D The outline colors are more of a metallic roseish. So..if it was like a lighter pink, or hot pink..I would be inclined to say yes.

    Besides, isn't it all about what you want, and what makes you comfy?? :D
    And, you can still cancel, right? And order something else if you wanted! :cool:

    EDIT: I just took a closer look online...and, yes..I think it would tend to fall towards the *girly side*...

    Cin ;) :)

    Haha yeah, I don't remember any products I've bought for myself with 'Tulip' in the name. The black one doesn't look too bad though.

    For the keyboard, in which price range are you looking purchase?

    the problem is... Best Buy dun carry the Black Golla bags i like in Canada nor Futureshop, and they only offer the grey,green,and brown. Green is too bright for me and brown is just plain retarded....

    So i got stuck with this grey + pink, i guess if my friends mock me because of this bag i d just have to colour the tulip with a blue marker lol...

    i thought this bag was unisex as well...DANG IT... you ppl make me more scared now

    as for the keyboard , i m looking for a ~50 2.4Ghz, preferably Logitech...

    SERIOUSLY guys, DOES IT LOOK THAT bad if you r a guy and wear it...

    I dun get it, why can I wear a pink polo and not get ridiculed and i would be DEAD if i wear this bag...

    Yeah it looks bad. Pink polos are generally plain, and while some people look comfortable in them, some people look corny and you can tell its okay if they wear it. However, they dont have giant flowers on them. Regret it.

    (im just joking, you can tell people its your gf's if it makes you feel better).

    It's not that terrible. Most people really won't care what your notebook bag looks like, they are too busy worrying what other people are thinking about them. It has a nice design to it and it doesn't stick out. Now if it had a big pink flower picture then it would be much more distinguishable.

    Well..just try it and see..that's all you really can do, if your keeping it.

    And, hopefully none one will give you any carap.

    And, maybe they will see more of the black vs. the Tulip.

    If it were my choice...the 2nd listed Messenger bag..or the last backpack. :D

    They both look nice, and seem more masculine! :D

    What about this one?

    the kensington is a 17in bag, and the lowepro is just plain ugly....

    i guess i will either raise my allowance to get a ogio or try to find a black/brown Golla (i really like the simple design and look)...

    I can usually get away with carrying around something with a dash of pink. It looks stylish sometimes, esp when coupled with black.

    But tulips aren't.

    Just giving you ideas...since you seem to be a tad stressed about the backpack you ordered.

    And, it's own individual preference! It's too bad you don't have that many choices in backpacks from BB's site...Evs'.

    Well, good luck with whatever you do.
