This is not one of those Mini-Me entries. I did not dress Lil up in a mommy-matching outfit. I just couldn't do that to her (or to myself). This is about the strange coincidental case of baby fashions imitating outdated tattoo art. I find baby onesies with Che Guevara are much more appealing than ones with little slogans referring to diapers and bottles (though there is an "mmmm, boobies" onesie that I find irresistible). I was on the verge of purchasing a baby tee featuring Bob Marley with a huge spliff hanging out of his mouth, but I came to the conclusion that adult content while entertaining, can sometimes border inappropriate. Maybe that- and my love of Baby Gap- is a sign that I'm becoming Mainstream. I guess this means I'll be purchasing a Justin Bieber action figure any day now.
Back to today's entry. Lil's onesie features a classic tattoo print of a koi with a wave. Nearly half a lifetime ago I went out and got myself that exact same tat. Don't ask what made me get it, or why I chose a koi. But I was pretty stoked when her Grumpaw Mike came over with this little onesie (from Baby Gap's boy collection, of course) because now, in a very non-Lilli Pullizer sort of way, we match.
