  • barbie as a canadian mountie
  • lundberg rice chips
  • canadian bacon barbie
  • haydee santamaria picture
  • cindy sheehan
  • soldier barbie
  • how long should jeans be
  • old school sunglasses
  • bacon propaganda posters
  • canadian milk
  • milk in bags
  • canadian milk bags

These are all pretty awesome, but I must say “bacon propaganda posters” takes the cake. I wonder if they found anything?

I’ve heard the same thing from my friend S, who says that when she does laundry for her baby Katie, it looks like a Pepto Bismol explosion. Now, Barbie has nothing against pink and has built a very lucrative empire almost entirely on that colour. But even leaving aside the social message, what kind of fashion message are we sending to our baby girls? You don’t see me wearing a pink Canadian Mountie outfit, do you?

Incidentally, I don’t blame the gifters. Speaking from experience, you have to deliberately search for non-pink baby girl items. I bought both Layla and Katie two outfits each–one lavender and one blue–to try to offset the pinkness. A girl needs options, right?
