The thing about boys, don’t try to be cutesy with their clothes

Posted June 20, 2006 at 5:07 am by Jessica

Suburban Turmoil leaves me in fear that thousands of “Elliots” are going to get beat up when they start school:

I’ve been getting catalogues in the mail lately for designer children’s clothing. You know, the expensive shit that ends up being worn all of two times. The stuff only my mother will buy.

Most of the duds look frankly uncomfortable. Hand smocked dresses with lots of lace, starched and appliqued gingham playsuits, scratchy monogrammed bloomers… It may not be practical, but I’ll admit it’s all strangely compelling on little girls. But when it comes to dressing boys this way?

Oh. Hell. No.

"Try as hard as we may for perfection, the net result of our labors is an amazing variety of imperfectness. We are surprised at our own versatility in being able to fail in so many different ways." -- Samuel McChord Crothers
