Dòve sono i bambini dei famosi?

I’m not sure about that accent mark.  My Italian’s not so hot.  But it’s better than my Swahili.

I had a friend who was working construction one summer, and he got friendly with a lady who was also working construction.  Lo and behold, they both spoke Swahili (as second-language learners; neither was a native speaker), so they bonded on the construction site by speaking Swahili exclusively.  I think they even dated for a while.
Don’t ask me how two Swahili speakers ended up working construction together in Iowa.  It just happened.  Too bad it didn’t work out with them, because that would have been a great story to tell at their wedding.
Anyway, the question I’m asking is about one of my guiltiest pleasures, Celebrity Baby Blog.  Not only does it have frequently-updated information about the babies of celebrities, it also has links to cool things celebrities buy for their babies.

Oh, excuse me, did I say “buy for their babies”?  I meant “get for free because for some reason the richest people in our culture get comped everything.”  Anyway, not all the stuff is outrageously expensive, even, such as these cute baby shoes.

I thought there hadn’t been any updates on that site for a few days, but when I visited it just now to make sure I had that link right, I see that it’s actually my RSS feed that’s not working.  Hm…I hate to think of all the celebrity baby-related news I’ve been missing out on.  Must fix.

    The little blue shoes remind me of the Chinese slippers you got in Chinatown when you were just a tot. You loved them.

    Yes, map already pointed it out, but I have to apologize for my profession. We are evil. We give rich people things for free so they’ll use it, and people will visit baby blogs, think our stuff is cool, and buy the same junk with their hard-earned cash. Don’t fall for it! 🙂 WAIT! Fall for it!

    You give comps to celebrities, Emily? Banking-related comps? Free safe deposit boxes for their jewels? Hush-hush transfers to numbered offshore accounts?

    We sponsor a car in NASCAR, so the drivers get stuff.

    I wonder who comped Brit that mascara she was wearing last night. Good gravy!

    Maybe it’s Maybelline?

  9. I checked out something comparable to your post at techcrunch… at any rate, I feel car audio is normally misunderstood but has some great quality manufacturers also. -Regards, Dyan Friesen
