Bikini Body Onesie...Don't Make A Big Deal About It When You See It!

The latest culprit in the sexy kid's clothing debate is a onesie for babies by Bon Bebe that has a bikini body promininently displayed on the front.  Keep in mind when you see a friend, family member or stranger's baby wearing this outfit, the baby did not choose it for themselves.  I tend to ask myself why did the parent choose this for their baby and the answer is quite clear, they were seeking attention.  Just like with bullying, if you give attention the behavior will be repeated.  So by giving the parents negative attention for their choice in baby clothing, you are ensuring that they will purchase more.  If they purchase more, companies will continue to make more of this type of clothing.  Therefore the best way to eliminate this clothing trend is to ignore it when you see it.  Don't give them the attention that they are seeking and they will stop purchasing these items.  They stop purchasing these items, companies stop making them.  Isn't economics grand.
