It’s not a compliment when a 6-year-old can accurately represent who you are without much help beyond a wig and makeup. Just like a group of tots did for “The Hills,” these girls nail the vanity and craziness that surrounds the four “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” The clip features all the juicy bits from the show, like Teresa’s table-flipping, Danielle’s bodyguard, and a lot of use of the word “toxic.” Even Danielle’s daughter is included.

Children Take On “The Real Housewives Of New Jersey”
It’s not a compliment when a 6-year-old can accurately represent who you are without much help beyond a wig and makeup.

Cast Your Bets: Guess The Day Of The Great Silly Bandz Die-Off
It’s easy to feel like you have no power when you’re a kid. But when it comes to fads and trends, the kid consumer controls which youth product companies will live and die. For the most part, the obsessions we grew up with—slap bracelets, pogs, Beanie Babies—all croaked. Today’s kiddies are all about Silly Bandz, the rubber band bracelets that have been terrorizing schools across America (and banned from them in many cases). Of course, retail analysts, drawing upon past failures, suggest that the brand needs to branch out; otherwise, it will just be another example studied in “Consumerism Failures 101.” Knowing how fickle we were as kids and how ridiculous these accessories are, we predict they’ll fade into oblivion fast … maybe even by the time you’ve finished reading this article.
Are you with us? Think Silly Bandz are on the out like every other kid fad? Or is this one here to stay? (God help us.) [Wall Street Journal] Keep reading »
Not A Joke: Cynthia Rowley To Make Designer Diapers
It’s official: Fashion diapers are now a trend. First Huggies came onto the scene with their hipster-fied denim diapers. Now news has just broke that Cynthia Rowley will collaborate with Pampers to design a line of the baby panties, to be sold at Target come mid-July. Her second collab with the mass retailer, this one sounds like high fashion for four-month-olds. According to a company statement, “the pastel designs includes madras, stripes and printed ruffles suited specifically to babies and toddlers.” Cute? Or a sign of an impending designer diaper boom?

Musings Of A 4-Year-Old Fashion Critic: “Maybe It’s From A Fuzzy Monkey?”
Kids might be small humans without fully developed brains, but they do have a way of putting things the simplest way. So when it comes to fashion, we might actually do good to listen to them, seeing as they have only aesthetics to go on and their minds aren’t yet tainted by the fashion media’s ruling of “what’s hot” and “what’s not.” Leave it to Babble.com’s resident kid style critic, 4-year-old Annabelle, who gives her opinion on celeb outfits.

Is Giving Your Baby Pop Rocks Cute Or Cruel?
I’m a big fan of videos featuring other people’s kids trying something new for the first time and laughing about it. Like that little boy who was filmed by his dad after a trip to the dentist and he was all high on whatever they gave him and was kind of tripping out — that made me howl. But the trend of filming your babies eating PopRocks candy for the first time gives me pause. I want to think it’s adorable and funny, but then I remember that I actually hate PopRocks and think the little jumping pieces of sugar kind of hurt. I sure as hell wouldn’t be down with someone putting them in my mouth without my permission, especially if I was barely able to walk and, as is the case of young Beckett, above, not even old enough to eat solid food. So, yeah, I dunno. Catherine thinks it’s cruel and she is basically the moral center of The Frisky. Jessica, meanwhile, has a heart made of marshmallows and rainbows, and she thinks it’s cute. What do you think? Harmless fun or child cruelty?! [BuzzFeed] Keep reading »
“Single Ladies” Tots Have Danced “Sexy” Before
They’re baaaaack! Remember the little girls who did that super amazing but sorta sexy dance to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies,” and people went nuts over whether it was appropriate or not? Well, their parents hit the morning shows last week saying the dance performance (posted on YouTube) was “taken out of context.” However, it turns out that that was not the first time that gang of 7-year-olds donned sparkly tube tops and popped their booties on stage. Behold, the sexiest take on “My Boyfriend’s Back” that I’ve ever heard/seen. Look, the sucky thing about this “scandal” is that it’s detracting from the fact that these girls are amazzzzing dancers, so skilled at such a young age that if they were to continue their studies, they could seriously go on to professional careers. And some might argue, myself included, that the over-the-top sexiness of some of the moves (and the costumes) are not only inappropriate for their age but distracting from their talent as well. What do you think? [PopEater] Keep reading »
Meet Cecilia Cassini, 10-Year-Old Fashion Designer
Is it just us, or has the past year been like The Invasion of the Superkids? Today we have another pint-sized talent to add to the list: Cecilia Cassini, a 10-year-old fashion designer. Getting her start at age 6 on a Singer sewing machine, Cecilia learned the craft by logging obsessive hours with a needle and thread and experimenting with different fabrics and designs. About to host her first trunk show at the Fred Segal store in Los Angeles (any designer’s dream), Cecilia’s creations are for kids with imagination—think sparkly dresses, lots of bows, bright colors, and sassy patterns. In short, the wardrobe you always dreamed of as a kid. To us, it looks like what Betsey Johnson might have designed when she was a child. Take a look at some of Cecilia’s clothes after the jump.
