Heelarious, the new brand of high heeled baby shoes: Bringing up baby the blow-up doll way
Call me a culture pessimist – Hell, I AM a culture pessimist, and with good reason.
Anyway, what follows is the kind of news that could almost make me puke:
High heeled shoes designed specifically for babies have gone on sale. The tiny stillettos, called Heelarious, are intended for babies up to six months and come in hot pink, black and leopard print.
Apart from the name of these shoes – and I think the person who came up with it should be shot – there’s something so perfectly abhorrent about this latest gimmick that it almost deserves a Nobel prize. If there were a Nobel prize for Decadence & Waste.
You know, while we’re at it, why not give baby a push-up bra, ‘I’m hot’ diapers, an ‘I blow for food’ bib and a tiny penis-shaped baby’s dummy?
It is, after all, never too early to teach our children what their proper place in life will be.
