Watching Scotty Grow-is that the one that goes, “That’s my boy,” after every line? I don’t know “Honey”… Also, if you don’t think toddlers can be fat, you’ve never seen Maury Povich. ---

Uh oh… does that make me evil for [this picture](http://www.fathom.org/nicky/sleeping-cherub2.jpg)? I agree though, some of those pictures are horrid! And I swear she uses the same stock photo of a kid sleepingw with his butt in the air and just superimposes different hats/wings on it in about 50 of those images. The meat hook one was extra creepy. :::shudder::: ---

Thanks to this thread, I have chosen a new career for myself. I want to be the Anne Geddes of women’s college students! Just imagine it! A petite redheaded American History major, reclining nude on a huge pumpkin. A sultry brunette from the German Studies department, in a giant bowl of eggnog, wearing nothing but a spring of holly. Three flower-crowned and fresh-faced first years, emerging from flowerpots. I tell ya, I’m going to make a killing with this. I go to a women’s college already, so finding subjects will be no problem. All I need to do is get some flowers and bee costumes and I’m all set. ---

And Guin? You seem like a good person, so I’m asking you as a friend, please PLEASE don’t even THINK of tracking down “Honey”! It’ll turn your brain into mush and send you screaming into the night! Honestly, you’ll be warped for life! 😃 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Guinastasia \* > \*\*She is the Thomas Kinkaid of photography. \*\* Don’t worry folks. Soon she is scheduled for that quantum leap up in artistic creativity. Yup, you guessed it, she’ll start painting lonely looking lost kids with really big eyes! After that she will again roar upwards in another burst of creative fury and graduate to velvet Elvis paintings. Look out Thomas Kinkaid, she’ll be nipping at your heels in no time. ---

Anne Geddes is still around? I thought that she stopped being fashionable sometime before the Macarena did. Either way i’d like to put Anne Geddes in a giant bee costume with no ventilation, other than one plughole, attached to which is a hose connected directly to the nappy/diaper of a baby with a severe gastrointestinal infection that is producing fecal matter with the same appearance and consistancy of American mustard. You think that’s good? That’s only January, baby … ---

Just call yourself an artist, and the money will roll in forever. Obviously, Anee G. has twigged to this already. ---

Umm yeah, what everybody said. Did you ever notice how the babies almost NEVER look happy? They almost always look like they’re about to start crying any second. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anne-geddes-you-are-one-fucked-up-woman/91143.md?page=3)
