SMART BLONDE
Raffi is for losers. Your
baby will find rapture
with Debbie Harry in
this Blondie onesie from
MYPUNKBABY.COM ( $24 ).
Top it off with a “Hittin’
the Bottle” cap for $ 12 and
a devil-head pacifier ( $ 1 2 ,
not pictured).
IMMACULATE RECEPTION
Just because you got pregnant doesn’t
mean you lost your sense of humor.
Embrace irony in TOYBITCH ’s “Virgin”
maternity shirt. (toybitch.com, $48 )
SCARY IN PINK
So cute it’s frightening, this dress
combines fearsome and feminine
with two layers of pretty pink ruffles
and a skull not afraid to show
her girly side. ( L U C K Y L IL D E V IL

MMMM, BABY
Your baby is so cute, wild
dogs could just eat him
up. (“Dingo Snack” tee,
glarkware.com; $18 )
‘Excuse Me While
I Tongue My Teeth’
At first, the SUPERSMILE QUIKEE
PORTABLE TOOTH POLISH ($16,
sephora.com) just seems like
eating toothpaste (you’re
supposed to spread it all
over your teeth with your
tongue). Then you actually
eat toothpaste and end up drooling foam all over your shirt. Part
of the vast Supersmile family
of tooth-whitening products,
Quikee has none of the aftertaste
of breathmints, nor is it nuclear in
its freshness like some breath strips.
The tongue-over-teeth action will get
you some odd looks if you do it at your
desk, but it does seem to convince
your teeth that they’re a bit cleaner
than before. K.P.K.

Goopy and Smelly
Not Positive Virtues
MOMMY, I’M SCARED
What’s even scarier than clowns?
Possibly these skull and tattoo-pattern crib sets. ( C O O L
BABYSHEETS.COM, $105 includes
a fitted sheet and a blanket)
It must be tough being a baby. Granted,
you get to take naps pretty much whenever you want, but you’re severely lacking in things like free will. You had no say
in the Pooh Bear infestation that broke out in
your room, right? You didn’t ask to have a nickname like “Doodlebug.” And every day you’re
crammed into something that either has
a teddy bear, a train or a teddy bear
riding a train. Parents, your baby is sick
of wearing lollipops and kittens. Your baby
wants cool stuff. Your baby wants edge. Your
baby wants to wear black. KRISTEN PAGE- KIRBY (EXPRESS)
BEWARE OF BABY
You’re both feeling it — why not warn
those you encounter? Mom’s shirt
says “Cranky;” baby’s says “Stinky.”
( BABY WIT.COM, $42 FOR BOTH )
HAMADI SHEA
HAIR CREAM
(4oz. for $ 23,
drugstore.com)
purports to be
perfect for thick,
wavy or curly hair, eliminating frizz
and keeping curls in line. For those
tired of struggling with hairdryers
and round brushes, it sounds like a
dream: Just apply to wet hair, twist
and let dry naturally. Unfortunately,
it’s just not that easy. The paste is
thick and smells like furniture polish; it also weighed hair down, robbing curls of bounce. As a straightening agent, things weren’t much better — it was still too heavy. Perhaps in
winter, when heavier anti-frizz artillery is needed, Hamadi will be called
into battle, but until then, it’s just too
goopy for the money. K.P.K.
