I am a very opinionated person, and some people may say I am taking this a little overboard, but these actually are making me a little mad!! Why can't kids be kids?? I don't understand the lepard bikinis on 2 year olds, the Bratz dolls or these shoes! My brother-in-law thinks they are funny and cute, and maybe that is why they appeal to some people, but I don't see what is funny about them. I may be in the minority here, but I just don't get it.Here are some baby items that I think are darling and tasteful:
i think they're super funny. i'm not a bratz or bikini baby mama at all, but i just think they're tongue in cheek and funny. just my 2 cents.
ReplyDeleteNo, you are right on! This is ridiculous. I was addicted to heals and then had major issues going back to flats - long story short - heels are awesome but completely against nature and wrong for little ladies.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, there is nothing wrong with just letting a baby be a baby. A lot of toys/movies/clothing geared towards tiny girls is way too mature and almost sexy. Which is the LAST thing these poor little things need.
ReplyDeleteI think they're cute -- for dress-up (and that's about for all)!
ReplyDeleteBut then again, I'm even bothered by how "cute" people think it is when little girls wear make-up.
There's a book at my local Barnes & Noble I've been meaning to buy: "The Lolita Effect -- The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It." Maybe it will shed some light!
They're cute...for dress-up, that's for what and that's all!
ReplyDeleteI've never understood the desire to put make-up on little girls, dress them in "sexy" clothing, etc.
There's a book at my local Barnes & Noble I've been meaning to get: The Lolita Effect. It's all about "The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What We Can Do About It." Maybe it can shed some light...
I'm obsessed with heels, but I don't think girls should wear serious heels until they are in their teens, their late teens. These shoes are further evidence of the rising generation of prosti-tots. Sad.

I think they are more cute than anything else. I like the cute shoes you posted a picture of though too!!!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, controversy!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! Why can't kids be kids?!
ReplyDeleteObviously they are just dress-ups. I am a fan of letting the little ones be little for as long as possible, but I don't think baby heels are giving the babies ideas to start wearing make-up or anything. It's just a silly product that probably won't stay around. I'll just have a good laugh at them until then.
ReplyDeletenice to see that there is a little drama goin' on on somebody's blog besides my own....he he he
ReplyDeletei have no opinion, being non-opinionated and all.....
ha, Mindi!! Not quite the controversy that is on yours. ;)
ReplyDeleteI kind of feel bad about this one. Must post something else soon...
Yeah, I noticed these a couple of weeks ago... have to admit I was a little disgusted. There's only a tiny window of life when babies get to be babies... they'll have decades to wear hooker shoes. Because we're all entitled to our own opinions, I can appreciate that people think they're cute, and have no problem with them dressing their kids this way. It's just nothing I'll ever be doing...
