When you think "kids", you think "fashion." And when you think "fashion", you think "Lamé".
That's Lamé, as in "lah-may", not lame, as in dopey. (Or, if you're a little nerdy, the LAME MP3 encoder.)
Anyway, I personally don't think of fashion when I think of kids, and I hardly ever think of lamé, gold or any other color. American Apparel however, the fashion company with the creepy ads, apparently thinks "toddlers + lamé leggings = GREAT idea.
A reader tipped us off to these "shiny leggings" which are available for adults, and also your kids!
The adult version is described as "A flash from the past, these sexy leggings are easily dressed up for a night on the town." The kiddie version? "Our shiny Lamé leggings, now available for little ones."
So... what does this mean? That the "sexy leggings" you love are now available for your daughter?
The kiddie leggings are "Not intended for sleepwear." Both adult and child sizes are "Form-fitting." Good to know.
In general, I find American Apparel's ads wicked creepy. The models look awfully young and, as The Onion so brilliantly parodied, often look drugged. (I'm not saying they are drugged. But that seems to be the look that the company is going for.) So the idea of the same people making children's clothing gives me the heebie-jeebies.
BUT! What do you think? Are the kiddie lamé leggings cute? Or creepy?
