Ep 17: Pinky Pinky
On the 17th episode of Legend, it is Amy’s first time on research and boy did she pick a messy story, the Legend of Pinky Pinky.
Have you ever wondered why girls insist on having a friend come with them when they go to a public restroom? Sure we might say it’s to borrow make-up, or gossip, maybe even to get wardrobe help, but is that really the reason or are we covering for a fear of what might happen to us if we go alone? This legend has some very scary roots that range from a countries revolution, to an increasing crime rate, all the way to bigotry and discrimination.
Don’t miss the South African legend of Pinky Pinky and don’t forget to leave your pink underwear at home!
