Horrible Advertisments; Not-So-Horrible Children With Great Clothes
Note: I should like to apologise to the non-lj people for the ads. It wasn't my idea (as if my design-fu skills would ever willingly let my layout be destroyed like that). The upshot is that the more I talk about the DCN, the more likely you'll be exposed to Obama-Os ads. Advertizing keywords: Yet another way for me to screw with lj's stats system. I'm perversely looking forward to it.
Even though I am firmly of the belief that children are something that happens to Other People, I can't help but be enchanted by Small Magazine. Hell, any magazine that features a d.i.y. mantis costume is going to get my stamp of approval, and stamped madly and enthusiastically if they break gender roles and give it to a disarmingly decapitatingly adorable blonde girl. I mean, really.
All minibeasts should be so stylishly dressed. There are soft, delicate fashion polaroids, even. You don't have to be small to enjoy the cut-paper diorama illustrations of Jayme McGowan either.
At this point, I'm all about anything, anything, to culturally pry us away from relentless pink vs blue children's clothing. It's possible that that may be an underlying part of my revulsion towards children.
EDIT: Ok, this wins at just about everything in the history of ever. It says, loudly and with sincerity: make me yourself and you can customize my tattoos, moustaches, and pinstripes. It's what you give to children to encourage them to be international moustache wrestlers when they grow up! Eeee!!!
