“Baby beatniks go to a party in Brighton, Australia. Peter Hanlon, 4, and Jane Selleck, 3. really look like cool kittens.”

Day-into-Date Dresses

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

We look fabulous! Let hold hands...

These girls are looking very gay in their Day-into-Date Dresses! Simply switch the skirt to go from a “day into date” look. The dress is made out of “Cloud-soft classics of Cohama Velgado, a new wonder-blend of Acrilan and Rayon that looks and feels like lightweight Wool Flannel.” And ladies, it’s washable, too! They have four colors to choose from – Beige, Emerald Green, Lilac or Coppertone.

(Don’t you just love the word “wonder-blend?”)
