Over at th’ Cheeseblog [linky!<\/a>], our hero was talking about the hip urbanite moms (doesn’t sound like “Tha Hoochie-Mommies” I’ve mentioned to people before), and wondering if maybe she wasn’t cool enough because she didn’t own something called a “Hooter Hider,” (no, seriously: check this [link<\/a>] if you think I’m making it up), and I kinda went off on a tear, so I’m reposting here, ’cause I can’t remember how to do those TrackBack things that put part of your comment on their blog, and the rest on your own.<\/p>\n

So Cheeseblog, don’t read this, ’cause you already done didded from your very own spot.<\/p>\n

Oh, and KarlaBabble<\/a>? Go. Read. Link. For some reason, I thought I got YOUR link from CB’s, but it looks like I didn’t. So get on that bus. If you (everyone else, not Karla) haven’t read Karla’s blog, go there, too.
Okay, here’s what I said.<\/p>\n


Y\u2019know what probably happened to the Hipsalano moms?<\/p>\n

They couldn\u2019t bring themselves to pretend to be so freakin\u2019 chic once a week (sweet: geek speaks with rhymedy tweaks!) Got nothing to do with you and your lack of \u201chooter hiders\u201d which has now renamed themselves to \u201cbebe-au-lait,\u201d \u2019cause they have figured out exactly what their niche market is (and because TrendWhore, \u2122, was already held by these folks – http:\/\/www.trendwhorebracelets.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

They probably also couldn\u2019t think of any more lies to tell you: \u201cOh yes, my little bundle of joy sleeps 17hrs a night, fills their diapers with Febreeze and cotton balls, and very nearly almost frowned *once* ever\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Which makes me wonder: If I had walked into that baby store RIGHT NEXT to the Blenz coffee place on Broadway (the heart of Kits, for those playing the home game), and asked for \u201cA half-caf-double-skinny with a barzoolian foam plume in the shape of Phil Collins on top,\u201d would they hand me something for a baby, and NOT a trendy new frappa-cappa-cino-toaster-oven-mocha-whatsit?<\/p>\n

Just wondering.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the Linea Nigra? Maybe it\u2019s so you can use whiteboard pens to make drawings like this: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8Z_kQM1bWdI<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
