Stink pinks are rhyming riddles. The clue doesn't need to rhyme but the answer does. Trickier is a rhyming clue with a rhyming answer. For forty years I've been looking for the ultimate Stink Pink where the clue is a homonym and the answer is a homonym.With my son, Damien's help, we have two near perfect SP's to offer the world.
Tight Tights?
Close Clothes.
Possibly NSFW:
Ho's hose = Booty bootie.

| A jumper |
Jumper jumper?
Hare hair.
Not making the cut:
Panel panel = Board board.
The meanings are different but the derivation the same.
Technically a pass but somehow unsatisfying:
Well well?
Whole hole.
UPDATE March 2015:
First a pair whose connection is a bit obscure but whose rhyme is sweet:
"Rain Reign" would be a "Grade-A grey day".
And (drum roll), I woke from a dream this week with a perfect stink pink:
To "sight a site" is to "spot a spot" and to "see a scene".
(My son gave came up with the third part..)
UPDATE May 2015
Speaking of the top lion: Main Mane or Pride Pride.
UPDATE 2019 Mod' Maud would be a chic Chick.
Contributions welcome. I'll add them to the post.
UPDATE 2020
Hart heart ..... Dear Deer.
Diet Diet ...... Meat meet. (The Diet of Worms ordered Martin Luther to recant.)
