Let's further complicate the issue and suggest that these pink "flamencos" are of Flemish origin, just as one hypothesis has it that the term "flamenco" itself is derived from "flanders"/"Flemish" which at one time was under Spanish control. We would then have "flamenco flamencos." (I know, that's pretty lame, but I couldn't help myself.) Bill
