Grace inking it Pink!

Ready to Ink it Pink this October alongside your favorite celebrities, sports superstars and fellow Sharpie lovers?! This month we are making pink the new black in the autograph world as we kick off our annual “Ink It Pink” campaign to help fight breast cancer.

We are challenging celebrities, our incredible fans and YOU to ink it pink for the cause. For every pink autograph submitted to www.sharpie.com during the month of October, we will donate $1* to City of Hope, one of the nation’s leading cancer research, treatment and education centers.

The movement is already underway as rock star, Grace Potter from Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, has already signed on to the Ink It Pink effort! Potter helped kick-off the campaign Saturday, September 24, during her band’s concert in New York City’s Central Park where she inked pink autographs for fans and encouraged them to do the same and send them over to sharpie.com!

You may remember last year was a HUGE success as hundreds of A-listers, from Hollywood movie legends and hall-of-fame athletes to revered rocks stars and respected media icons, lent their signatures to the effort.(Miley Cyrus’ Ink it Pink video is STILL our highest viewed on the Sharpie YouTube channel!)

Well this year is no different! The pink signatures have already started rolling in, including Shay Mitchell from Pretty Little Liars and 19-time Olympic medalist, Michael Phelps, and you can help, too!

Uncap What’s Inside

Russell “Brands” Rolling Stone with Sharpie

Whitney — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 20:29:39 +0000

Do you ever find yourself wondering what kind of permanent marker Russell Brand prefers to sign autographs with? Maybe even pose with from time to time? Trust me, this is a completely normal question and perhaps even one that takes priority over other important questions on your mind, such as, “What’s for dinner?” “Is that essay test tomorrow?” or ”Was it my turn to pick Billy up from practice?”

Lucky for you, I’ve got plenty of time to peruse the magazine stands and make your life a bit easier…

The current issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, (featuring Jay-Z on the front cover) shows Get Him to the Greek star, Russell Brand posing with a black Fine Point Sharpie marker in hand, along with an autographed copy of his very own cover issue!

*sigh* And now you may return to your other inquiries.

Have you UNCAPPED today?

Sharpie in Marie Claire

The Don Makes a BOLD Statement

Whitney — Fri, 07 May 2010 17:28:38 +0000

Styleite.com, a popular fashion & beauty website, reported on the airing of a commercial showing Trump’s hair being blown off of his head in an article they titled, “Donald Trump’s Toupée Is Too Sensitive For TV.” Apparently this title did not tickle Mr. Trump’s fancy, so he took matters into his own hands by sending a letter to the author.

On a print out of the article, Trump wrote in black Sharpie ink:

“I DON’T wear a toupée.

It’s ALL mine (for better or worse).”

The actual letter! (Read full article at Styleite.com)

Just goes to show, when it comes to self-expression, nothing beats a Sharpie. (Even this kajillionaire knows it!)
