Giraffes on Unicorns, A Million Dollar Idea

What is up with gender neutral baby clothing?  Why is it all so meh?

Yellow duckies!  Green froggies!  Alright, I get that yellow + green are the gender neutral go-tos for parents who have decided to keep the status of their unborn baby’s genitalia a surprise.

But I don’t want to dress my newborn in pajamas with stripes and polka-dotted frogs.  No substantial reason.  Simple vanity.

Why can’t there be like… turquoise honey badger onesies?  Or footie pajamas with a giraffe riding bareback on a unicorn.

Oh, this is kind of cute.

Hood up, mini-me

I could wear matching gray sweats and then we could be all heyyyyyy, gray hoodie patrollllllll at the hospital.  No?

I saw this on Pinterest this week and started laughing hysterically.  Seriously, I wish I thought of it.

I cannot find the original site, despite my Google search engine skills.  If you find it, could you link me so I can pin this very clever creator properly?  :)

Speaking of Pinterest, I’ve gotten a couple ROO YOU WERE FOLLOWING ME AND NOW YOU’RE NOT FOLLOWING ME I HATE YOU WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.

So, I did some research.  Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong.  I think if I follow *all* of your boards, then Pinterest will tell you that I’m following you.  If I only follow some, then Pinterest will somehow tell you that I’m not following you.

I unfollow specific boards that are not relevant to me.  Examples: Wedding Idea Boards, Boards with Products for Your Pets, Boards with Activities for Grade School Boys, Short Blonde Hairstyle Idea Boards, Scrapbooking Idea Boards, etc.

You get the picture.  If I find myself owning pets, ten year old boys, or suddenly having a penchant for scrapbooking, wedding planning, or hair bleaching, I WILL BE ALL UP ON YOUR BOARDS, I promise.  :)

If you’ve ever lamented not looking like a magazine spread, please watch this video.  It is fantastic.

I’ve done a little research on this before – Victoria’s Secret is one of the worst offenders.  Google it sometime.  You’ll see pictures where the leg bone is obviously not connected to the hip bone; one arm is Photoshopped slimmer than the other; shadows are all off, etc.

Thanks to Jennifer Oleson for posting it on the NiceGirlNotes Facebook page. :)

Also, let me take a moment to give big ups to some of the people and businesses who help NiceGirlNotes operate.  A-a-hem:

Mama May i is an adorable handmade shop featuring wooden toys (a hit a previous Cute Stuff Sales).  Also on Faceybooky.
