Baby High Heels

I've always thought it kind of disturbing when people dress up toddlers in makeup or faux earrings. I get the same creepy vibe from these Baby High Heels now being marketed by a company called Heelarious. The heels are made of foam, so there's no risk of them impaling the kid. Still, they don't exactly look comfortable.

This must appeal to the same set of people who enter their six-year-old daughters in child beauty pageants. Yahoo! News has a video of a kid wearing these things. What about Baby Foot Binding next?

There's nothing at all wrong with these. As long as you wear them with a stylish pair of nylons. And as long as you don't mind attracting pedophiles with foot fetishes.

This book should be mailed to every parent who bought these shoes for a child: http://www.amazon.com/Stop-Dressing-Your-Six-Year-Old-Skank/dp/B0013MPC6G/ref=br_lf_m_550066_1_12_img?ie=UTF8&s=books&pf_rd_p=437812001&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=550066&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=14DNZG0K41XNWNPWB93E

1st of all don't these look like something out of Ms. Piggy's closet?

Then, are these any weirder than Tesco's (English K-Mart) selling of stripper dancing poles for little girls? Come to think of it there was something else Tesco tried to sell for little girls that got the natives all up in arms. I'm having a Sr. Moment just now and can't remember what it is but....

I think that might have been the "Dive In" underwear, Expat? Either that or I'm thinking of Abercrombie and Fitch's thongs for kids.
