My Girl

Beach Fug

I like to think I’m a pretty stylish kid.  I usually wear cool jeans, hip tops and trendy dresses.  Today, however, my mom forever tarnished my reputation as a fashion maven.  She put me in this:

Oh my gawsh.  I know that I’m better protected from the sun’s rays in this suit but I have two words for you:  camel toe.  I was so embarrassed.

Then my mom topped it all off with this ridiculous hat, circa 1987.

See that cheezie in my hand?  Call it self-medication.  I needed to forget my woes.

  • Hmmm, camel toe? I’m thinking male ballet dancer.

  • Can you get camel toe with a diaper?

    And I’m thinking that the hat has a very piratey feel to it… ;-)

  • AWESOME! Best text for those pictures I could have imagined. I would be medicating with cheese too.

  • Hey Amanda…. for more ideas about how to torture your child go to funnyordie.com Will Ferrel stuff…. see if you can find a clip called “The Landlord”. I can’t wait till Avelyn starts talking away :)

  • That hat is truely terrible but who knows, maybe one day they’ll be in again and Avelyn will look at this picture and think “My Mom really was stylin!” Then again lets hope that never comes back in style.

  • I was looking at pictures of myself as a small child and got to wondering if my kids will ever hate me for how I dress them. The answer is a resounding yes. And then they’ll do the same thing to their kids. Such a funny thing what we make our kids wear!

  • Too dang funny. You never let me down Amanda. I always come here for a laugh and a great post and you come through, as always.

  • Oh dear…

  • You did NOT say camel toe about your daughter. Holy crap that is hilarious….you are my friendship soul mate (does that sound too gay?) The hat, are you crapping me, did you scower every second hand store in your country to find something so insanely 80’s? Poor, poor Avelyn, you must quickly put her in something 2007 STAT to redeem her reputation. I still love ya Avelyn, camel toe and crazy hat flap in all.

  • She still looks pretty darn cute to me!

  • OMG – you said camel toe! Do you now have to explain that to your mother? :)

    Last night I got my US Weekly magazine and there was a pic of Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck’s daughter, Violet, in almost the EXACT same outfit at the beach – 80’s flap hat and all. So you are dressing Avelyn in cutting-edge Elite-Hollywood-baby fashion and you just didn’t know it.

  • I think its cute Amanda…no matter what you put her in she will be cute..hehehe..and just think..at least she wont get a burn

  • She’s still cute in a very 80’s sort of way. The hat is too much, I couldn’t get Charlie to keep that on his head to save my life.

  • So there you go…. another bloggig post idea! Why doesn’t everyone find their funniest or most “fashionable” picture of their “era” (60’s/70’s/80’s etc)

  • Those suits are hard to find, especially for girls. She’ll thank you when she’s older and her skin isn’t all wrinkly and cancerous. =)

  • I personally LOVE the hat.

  • What one must do to protect our skin and look forever young eh? So cute.

  • Avelyn, you make that look GOOD!

  • Baby camel toe?! HA! (She’s still adorable, despite the getup.)

  • i have been a reader for only a few weeks. and can i tell you i got the biggest kick out of this post. very funny.
