Supermodel

Yes, it's baby's first fashion show! Zeke made his modeling debut this past Thursday for our favorite local kiddie couture design house Pretty Jane. Now I owe some blog space to Pretty Jane, as I am strong advocate for its philosophy, its quality product and its head Pretty Jane -- my neighbor, friend and avid About Sprout reader. (Hi, Deb!) Please make sure to visit the Pretty Jane website and its accompanying witty blog. Pretty Jane makes one of a kind boutique clothing for babies to tweens and sells through private shows and a local coop. When you see the options for children's clothing -- especially for tween girls -- it makes you yearn for innocent, yet fun and stylish clothing. We really live in a society where it is acceptable for little girls to wear midriff exposing halter tops, shirts with highly inappropriate sayings, and completely unmentionable undergarments. You have to appreciate one mom taking up the fight against all of that. The details for the why and what of Pretty Jane are on the website and the little girls' dresses are just so adorable you have to see them yourselves. I also go completely ape for the barrettes, bookbags and bibs.

There is stuff for boys, too (though I am always pushing for more) and I have been loving the button down boys' shirts -- you will remember the matching trout shirts Zeke and Zach have. Pretty Jane also just whipped up the coolest vintage baseball print shirts for two of my favorite baseball fans.

Zeke is modeling a new fall product -- reversible overalls. (You can see the reverse pattern of flames on the cuffs.) He is totally making that outfit work with the new red Chuck Taylor lowtops Sprout Mama got him! Zeke loved it and loved showing it off. I was completely floored at how happy he was to walk in a room of strangers and show off. I didn't know what was going to happen. He walked in with me and then walked -- nay, strutted as seen in the photo -- through the room by himself. I did curtail his time on the "catwalk" though because he saw his dad and didn't know why he couldn't stay with Daddy! So, it was just one quick walk and we probably left before the emcee even had a chance to finish the description of the overalls. I don't know because I was just too focused on making sure he didn't have a diva-style meltdown in front of the fashion show mavens.

Sashay shante!
