Heelarious?


No wonder body image issues can start at a very early age. I recently came across a website called, Heelarious, which sells soft crib shoes designed to look like high heels for infants ages 0-6 months. Why on earth would an infant want to wear high heels. Why would you want your infant to look like their wearing high heels. I realise this is supposed to be light hearted fun but it really doesn't set up a good mentally for the child when they think they have to wear high heels to look cute and get attention. Also if the mother has this sort of mentally in the first place, their bad habits are going to rub off onto their children, giving them the same body image issues she has.

Yet mums seem to have gone crazy over these baby high heels, including celeb mums such as Nicole Richie and Tori Spelling. The shoes are available in an assortment of colours and designs, including leopard print and cowboy boots. And if that wasn't enough they also sell a credit card teether. The teether is designed to look like babies very own credit card. Could they possible get any more stereotypical! They come in either pink or green and i personally think they are totally ridiculous and quite insulting.
