who needs NYC?

I love fashion. It use to be a part of my everyday life; from selling on the floor, to being a clothing buyer, to working in technical design, it was part of me. When I was little, I use to be in 4-H, taking part in this junior-sized fashion show every year. It was thrilling being in the show; being on stage, them calling out my name and best yet, my heart just jumped being on the 'cat walk' (which I'm not sure I should even qualify it as a cat walk having taken place in a small-town-Iowa church basement, but you get the idea). I've always loved fashion.

Relatives from New York, not knowing about Wyatt's obsession with accessories (because they don't read my blog), sent a box of their outgrown hats and scarves yesterday. It was just like Christmas day again for Wyatt. You bet he tried on every hat within the ten minutes that the box was opened.

model attitude (throwing his hat at me)

I think he has a little bit of his mom in him, or at least a bit from the pre-jeans-every-single-day mom.

You were in fashion??? I'm so envious!! I'm the same way, used to be so into it, now, uh, not so much. Jeans or yoga pants are my new look du jour I'm afraid.

Your little fashionista looks very at home and stylish. He's really workin' it :-)

I like the last two photos - the dimples in his catwalk photo and his face expression in the magnum photo. What attitude!

Maybe he will be a fashion designer or a male cat-walker when he grows up. :)

The fashion shows were often at the Main Theatre Pizza Pub, which did, in fact, have a stage. Church basement? C'mon...
Wyatt's soooo cute. Love the pics.

That's a really good idea...using old hats and stuff. Why can't I ever come up with crap like that?! Anyway, he's such a cutie! It's hard for me not to see my son since they are so close in age. It's a very fun time!

Jeans every day? You are rocking the fashion still! Just wait until you trade the jeans for sweatpants...then you've really given up. Trust me. :D

Anti-Supermom
I'm Beth. A Minneapolis mom of 3; Henry, the Chinese speaking 7 year old, Wyatt (Wu), the know-it-all 4 year old and Edith (Edy), my *still* sweet baby girl. My paying job is child care provider to 2 other girls. I rarely cook with more than five ingredients, my children don't bathe every day, my kitchen floors are always sticky; I'm just not interested in being a Supermom. Want to join me in the Anti-Supermom movement?
