'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
The woman has probably tea-stained more things than the entire lineup on HGTV. I'm so used to the idea that I routinely throw black dye in with fading black jeans.Hee. I think I read somewhere that when Marilyn Monroe married Joe D, she tinted her veil with coffee.
We ventured into Pottery Barn Kids yesterday. I'm scared of it. It's like Easter exploded in there.
Assuming the answer is not "like Easter exploded in there," what does PTB's room look like, Plei? I remember you were having a hard time finding space for the crib -- how did that work out?

Sadly, Banana Republic (for adults) looks the same damned way. I hate "spring fashion."
So ... why *are* all baby clothes pink or blue?
I once got scolded by a complete stranger. He complimented me on my baby son. I thanked him and said "She's actually my daughter, though." He said, with great indignation, "She's not wearing PINK!"
She was wearing brilliant purple, which I would have considered gender-neutral. I do have to admit, however, that we never put any of her pink ruffly hand-me-downs on our son, so there are limits to our support for androgyny in infancy.
Baby Gap, wildly overpriced as it is, usually has a good selection of not pastel or only-pink/blue stuff. One of the baby girls' lines this winter was all red and rich, warm colors. Only on sale, though, or at the outlet. I try not to pay $35 for a sweater for myself, much less a sqaure foot of cotton for a twelve-month-old.

Me too.
Heh. Newsflash! Goths Hate Spring Fashion Lines!

Well, duh.
Of course, I am wearing black with pink lace trim today, but I still think that no one looks good dressed like an Easter basket.

I just got their catalog yesterday. It's a mini Easter explosion. Too. Much. Pastel.
IOEasterN I saw peep beanie type babies. So. Freakin'. Cute. I might have to whip Owen up a little easter basket with one of them in it.

I've had good luck with Old Navy and the Children's Place. Much less pastels and much more reasonable prices.
Woo for amyparker. Must go send congrats!
I am not goth and I don't hate spring fashion as a rule but what's in stores now is HIDEOUS to me. I was just in Banana Rep. at lunch trying to exchange something and there wasn't a single thing there I even wanted to try on. I want the deep reds of Baby Gap's winter line! waaahhhh!
