    Weirdly, this very same phenomenon is why we have the health care "system" we have today (act 2):

    The ultimate bachelor/ette pad is a gigantic house with a great view, preferably near a beach, that you are sitting as a favor to some old family friends. #bachelorpads

    Isn't it more accurate to say makeup sales are rising because women can no longer afford to buy anything more expensive than a $20 lipstick? #makeup

    That was the single most annoying New York Times article I read today. The fact that we're supposed to feel bad for the guy who could only afford to plunk down 500k for a Bushwick apartment is so offensive it's actually kind of awesome. #bachelorpads

    I'm curious how the Telegraph was able to jump from rising making sales to "women aim[ing] to look their best in [the] recession," I mean, that's quite a leap. What's next, "Sky Begins to Fall as Acorn Hits Local Chicken's Head"?

    I was one of those children that was very tidy. It didn't come naturally to me - I was mimicking my mother. I wanted to play, but never did, because I knew I'd catch hell if I came home with dirty clothes. I can say absolutely that clothes had a profound effect on my psyche when I was little. #kidsdesignerclothes

    Some kids just don't like to get dirty, I knew a few of them as a child. I don't think that designer children's clothing is as big a problem as they make it out to be.

    I, on the other hand, was all about getting everything dirty. If a kid wants to get dirty, they will, even if you say not to (believe me, I know).

    Anyway, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. But to those few parents who ACTUALLY buy Marc Jacobs for kids: WTF???

    Please Mum FTW!

    (god, I hope they have Please Mum in the States or I am going to look like a fool....) #kidsdesignerclothes

    @Wandell: They don't, but I gather it's a reasonably-priced children's line (even w/o Googling!). For me it's Kohl's and Target all the way, though for holiday pictures I'll sometimes spend stupid amounts. #kidsdesignerclothes

    @Maritsa: Ya, Please Mum is a reasonably priced children's clothing store in Canada.

    Well, sometimes you need a cute dress for your kid to pose in pictures in, or go to a holiday party in, but I think we all know it's not appropriate for the playground. #kidsdesignerclothes

    My son's nursery class is continually telling the parents to dress the children appropiately -

    ie:
    When it is cold and damp please don't send your daughter in a skirt and thin tights and open toed shoes that she will be cold in. They play outside! Dress for playing in the cold weather.

    Send the kid with a jacket EVERY DAY. Again, they play outside, and weather can change.

    Put the kid in something with an ELASTIC WAIST BAND. Buttons, zips, snaps and belts are hard for a 3 or 4 year old to manage on their own. Send them in something easy for them to get up and down in the loo. It helps them to be more independent.

    They tell the parents this personally, they put it in notes, post stuff on the board over and over but people still don't listen. It is weird because in my mind these are things that make the child's life easier and more comfortable.

    (I personally ONLY buy elastic waist trousers for my kids until they can do up buttons and snaps reliably. Fashion be damned, I'm not having my kid pee their-self because the pants were cute!) #kidsdesignerclothes

    Is it really so much the dirt and ruined clothes? I remember one little girl exposed her underpants to the entire class in kindergarten during recesss and we never let her forget it (because kids are assholes) and I think she wore pants every day after that. #kidsdesignerclothes

    @EdnasEdibles: Really? I showed my underpants on the playground every day until someone told my mom to make me wear shorts under my dresses. And, uh... it was a horrid childhood trauma that I've just remembered now.

    Thanks.

    Then there is my son who has worn the same camo fatigue pants every damn day for the past 2 months.
    He firmly believes shoes are overrated and why would he wear clean clothes when they are just going to get dirty again? #kidsdesignerclothes

    But then you just find other little girls wo don't want to get their clothes dirty? I mean I was kind of a priss and my mom spent a lot of time dressing me just so, but my friends were similar. I didn't climb trees or make mudpies, we made daisy chains and played "Pioneer Girls" or went on swings. I never felt out of place and my clothes were always clean. #kidsdesignerclothes

    @quatrevingtquatre: I'm there with you. I wasn't prissy, but I never liked dirty. I don't think it is something I got from my parents, I just never liked the feel of dirt or mud. I would stand on the sand and scream until I got picked up because I hated the feeling of sand on my feet. But I did still ride bicycles and play little league. #kidsdesignerclothes

    I hate to say it, but as a child, I was very much like Suri. I wore smocked dresses, a corresponding bow and mary janes every day of the week. Most horrifyingly, as a little kid, I made my mother or father wash my sneakers everytime I came home from the playground because I wanted them to stay white. I was, to be certain, a pill.

    But kids get older and they change (a lot of kids are very obsessive and finicky anyway). My father's favorite memory was looking at the kitchen window and watching his little princess, dress and all, body-checking a boy twice her age in a particularly vicious game of street hockey. So, I don't worry about Suri. #kidsdesignerclothes
