My pal Elliot Glazer made me laugh with this blog post regarding Australian-born photographer Anne Geddes use of babies as inanimate objects, fictional creatures and fresh produce and her later collaboration which featured Celine Dion caressing other people’s babies and how this will surely landing those babies in therapy. Hilarious! I’ve always found those babies dressed as lettuce in a garden pics weird as well. Actually I find most baby-modeling weird. I mean, I know we need baby models for things like diaper advertisements and whatnot, but I get super uncomfortable with things like “cutest baby contests” or even more so, those creepy beauty pageants that showcase infants made up like trampy call girls.
I mean, exposing the cuteness of kids. Who does that?
Okay fine, sometimes comedian aunties can’t help but film their adorable nieces for the purpose of a silly video. This. This is totally cool.
Let’s help kids instead of parading them about on stage in calendars in silly costumes, shall we? takepart and donate to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, which helps create, find and support programs that directly improve the health and well being of children. Donate by purchasing a Hand for just $1 at your nearest participating McDonald’s between November 10th and 20th or give online at https://donate.rmhc.org/SSLPage.aspx?pid=184&srcid=-2
