i'm sorry. what?!

as i was rushing home today, i breezed past the gap on 57th street. since gap is making a huge push for jeans these days, perhaps its no surprise... but in the window of the baby gap section i saw - skinny jeans for toddlers. i kid you not. the description online is "cool skinny jeans for your future fashionista." whatever happened to kids just being kids? the days when children had separate types of clothes, and not just shrunken adult clothes?

fyi - gap is also selling "boyfriend" jeans (which look insane on even the adult models... how do they look on normal sized adults?! let alone toddlers!), boot cut jeans, wide leg jeans..... basically everything on the adult side, just shrunk down for the kids. gap? stop it!

will my kids kill me if i don't let them wear skinny jeans? (or the future equivalent... skinny spacesuits, maybe.) i don't want them to be forced to be "future fashionistas." just let them work on being kids.

spoiler?

not going to even post a pic of who this may be about in case you really don't want to know details. but if you care about a potentially very good lost spoiler, check it out and see who you think it is!

what up, random house!

ever wonder how a book is made? ever wonder how a super awesome book is made (and 5 million copies of it)?? wonder no more! watch the superb video below that features the random house warehouse in maryland as they show you how they assemble and print (and protect) dan brown's new book, the lost symbol, in stores september 15th!

un-fun.

bought this on the street today.

book seller man: "usually when people buy books from me, i tell them to enjoy the book. but...."

first few pages were quite depressing, and i was reading in washington square park in the sunshine. i better finish this before fall really sets in....
