The Story
Pinky Rose Boutique set in Sunny Los Angeles, CA is not your average retail shop. It’s a place of change, hopes, dreams, failures, and victories. Pinky Rose is home to outrageous and wild characters that come together in the name of fashion. We follow the lives of our main characters through their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. There’s always a story and a lesson behind our guests in the fitting room that are revealed, and from there the transformation begins. Pinky and her rosebuds have thorns that are shed throughout the show where each episode shows one or more of the characters' petals grow.
All of the characters are considered rosebuds, simply because we watch them blossom and bloom throughout their journey. For our main characters we see their ups and downs and the evolution from varying stages of their lives. As for our guest stars, we see them facing challenges in their personal lives and throughout time we watch them grow through the strength of Pinky’s community and the wild and raw love found in Pinky Rose Boutique. Let’s not forget the fashion here with an emphasis on being comfortable in your skin but dripped in fabulous apparel!
