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.
Wait. People? She eats people? 'To Serve Man.' It's 'To Serve Man' all over again.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Sadly, Banana Republic (for adults) looks the same damned way. I hate "spring fashion."
Me too.

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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We ventured into Pottery Barn Kids yesterday. I'm scared of it. It's like Easter exploded in there.
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!

Punishingly Intricate
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!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a $50 Banana Republic card to redeem. I've tried twice, but due to both the spring line and the long wait for the changing room -- no dice.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I remember one spring where bright tropical colors were in, and I was very happy. The current frilly pastel thing, though, needs to DIE DIE DIE.

Up with the sun
On a mememe note --
I am conflicted on what to do tonight. On the one hand, I would kind of love to stay home, watch The O.C. and play Sims. And that's it.
On the other, Patrick's band is part of a battle of the bands tonight, and I should really go and support him.
But I just saw them Monday, and their set's not until 11, and I'm not sure how much good my moral support would actually do. Plus, he says it's up to me, which probably genuinely does mean that he doesn't care,
Thoughts?

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?
Her room still looks like an office. We're not moving everything out until after she's here. The walls are deep rose, the hardware is copper, and the floor is (at the moment) crappy softwood with acute damage. (It will probably be bamboo after we've moved the computers out of there.)
We'll be using something other than a crib until we've got the room done.
Newsflash! Goths Hate Spring Fashion Lines!
Newsflash. If you've seen this year's Spring Fashion Lines, you'd realize that ALL right-thinking people hate this year's selections. It's a selection of Best of the Worst of Color Me Beautiful's Spring Palette. Most people will not look good in the corals, teals, and lime greens that are this year's must-haves. (I can wear the lime. But I prefer a slightly yellower lime to the almost-neon I see in stores.)
