Tell me about yourselves.
Hi! We are Pink and Bleona and we’ve been friends for 10 years! One decade!
At ECCO, we wanted to make our definition of “family” as broad as possible, to include friends. Do you believe that friends can be family?
Pink: I feel like family is the best way to describe our relationship. There’s an unspoken kind of level of how much we value each other, because only we know how much value we’ve bought it each other in the past, so there’s no part of me that wants to leave you in the past.
How did you two meet? How long have you known each other?
Pink: I don’t even know how it happened, I think we started making jokes, we just realized our language is the same, we spoke the same lingo, we were the funniest people in the class…still are! Every star aligned, and that’s how we met.
Could you describe your friendship?
Bleona: I find it really difficult to put our friendship into words, in the sense that I’ve always found it so natural, It’ll be something as simple as ‘do you want to come with me, on a 45 second walk?’ Pink isn’t my best friend, she’s like my second sister.
PinkPantheress, do you remember what you first thought about Bleona?
Pink: My first impression of Bleona, I saw Bleona when we were like 11, I thought that she was like 16, because she’s always looked older. I remember finding you quite scary, because you hung out with all the popular girls and I was not popular, people liked me in the year group but I was not cool.
