Whats next? Baby makeup and high heels? Seems a bit silly to me. But people are buying these things. > [@](#): > > Is there nothing lovelier than a baby’s soft, smooth skin? One company thinks there is, because it’s trying to make the baby wig trend happen. While mommy clips in her hair extensions and daddy joins a very exclusive hair club, Baby Bangs! makes sure that their precious baby girl’s baldness is covered up. Yes, that’s right: The company offers hair-and-glittery-headband combinations for infants up to 9 months old in an array of colors and styles, starting at $25. > **[Embarrassed by Your Bald Baby?

I class that as abusive head trauma. ---

I remember when baby wigs were a joke on Designing Women. ---

I dunno, they are kind of stupid, but not any stupider than the ridiculous headbands people routinely put on babies. One way or another, every parent in the end dresses their kid for their own amusement. And the mustache pacifiers are kind of amusing. Most pacifiers are screen-printed with something. I don’t see how a mustache is any sillier than a little duckie or whatever. ---

Eh. My Mom used to have to tape a bow to my head to let people know that I was a girl. People had trouble identifying my gender until I was 12. I have no problem with a baby wig as a fun accessory. It won’t stay on long anyway – I’m always amused watching babies pull their hats off. Sometimes they get quite aggressive, and will repeatedly throw the hat on the floor. I’m sure the wig will suffer the same fate.
