hip kids?

Re: hip kids?

I don't have a problem with logos as long as they aren't "I'm sexy" kind of things.

Hey...and my favorite top when I was 13 or 14was the t-shirt that I got at the Madonna concert (Oh, YAH...I SAW the like a virgin tour in person thank you very much!). After it got washed, her boobs stretched and the whole front of my shirt was very....distorted

Logos aren't a big deal....really. 12 year olds having sex? drinking? smoking? bullying? big deal. Kid wearing cute/funny logo...not even on my radar.

"My other onesie is Prada."

That one is cute.

On another note, I though of this thread when I went to Target and saw a geisha girl costume for little girls. I just kind of chock this up to American ignorance though. Maybe they don't know that geisha girls are Japanese prostitutes.

Really?

Geisha weren't prostitutes. Not real Geisha, anyway. They have a very interesting and beautiful history.

From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geisha

Geisha (??, Geisha?) or Geigi (??, Geigi?) are traditional, female Japanese entertainers, whose skills include performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. Contrary to popular opinion and stereotypes, geisha are not prostitutes and do not engage in sexual activity as part of their job.

Re: hip kids?

what Jenn said. Sadly the American view of geisha is based solely on the aftermath of the large American influence in Japan during and after WWII and the effects our military presence had on their culture and way of life.

Re: hip kids?

ITA. As a mom to three girls, I am extra conscious of clothing choices. There are certain stores that I won't go to because the clothes look cheap (not inexpensive) and not age-appropriate. I am especially noticing this now that my oldest is out of the toddler section starting at size 6.

I don't do ruffles, lace, frilly things or characters (except on pjs). I often buy one size bigger shirts because both of my girls are long-waisted. However, my kids both pick out their clothes because they won't be worn otherwise. My oldest girl has a shirt that says "Girls Rule" and the younger two have t-shirts that say "Lil Sister". At this time, my kids prefer shirts and dresses to pants much to my dismay. (I can't stand to wear skirts or dresses). So I try to purchase skirts with shorts underneath for summer (not skorts).

I am hip to be square in the wardrobe dept so my kids aren't really hip either.

Us, too.

My son's favorite outfits are a red flannel PJ set with firemen on them ("No, you CAN'T wear that to nursery school! Go change!!") and a pair of toddler blue surgical scrubs my in-laws got him ("I'm like Dad! I'm on night-shift!").

We are weird, too.
