The offending playsuitIn the spirit of the season, I have waited until the day after Christmas to lodge my complaint with Bono and his Product RED clothing. See, we thought we’d have a lovely holiday dress or ten to choose from, as Grandma and Grandpa Day filled an entire suitcase with them for their trip to Toronto. Unfortunately, they and their luggage only made it as far as DFW, what with all the storms the week before Christmas. Since we didn’t want Finley looking like a hobo baby (note to self: Hobo Baby Calendar 2009 = genius business opportunity), I went out to get her something festive to wear.
So, I went to Gap Kids to find a cute something, and lo, what before my wondering eyes should appear, but a cute playsuit in red with ADO(RED) across the front. Plus it was on sale, profits went to help Darfurian AIDS babies (note to self: Darfurian AIDS Babies Calendar 2009 = another genius business opportunity) and it felt like cashmere. I was in a hurry so I grabbed it, paid for it, brought it home and washed it.
Yeah, well, this thing ain’t cashmere. It’s nylon, acrylic and 10 percent angora rabbit hair, which is 90 percent all over the dang place. It’s in every baby nook and cranny, and I am waiting for Finley to POOP(RED) with all the fuzz I’m sure she’s swallowed.
And, AND, the playsuit is made in China. What up, Bono? Don’t you think the Darfurian AIDS babies deserve a little better than that? How about you and Sheryl Crow splash out for the real deal, maybe some Loro Pianna for world hunger? It’s the least you could do.
Get back to me, Bono, and maybe I’ll share my baby calendar profits with you next year.
