First we launch a new line of 100% super organic baby clothes and now we’re getting all stoner for Barneys NY? I’m having our water tested ASAP. Actually, we’re totally stoked to announce that we’re a part of Barneys’ HAVE A HIPPIE HOLIDAY fun-fest. Barneys asked us to do a set of fun, 100% organic baby bibs that, like, totally jived with their peace + love theme. We were more than happy to set down our bongs and hooka tubes to cooperate in a non-violent fashion.

On your way to the head shop, stop by your local Barneys and pick up one of our 100% organic cotton bibs. Or, if you’re too baked to go outside (everyone really is looking at you, BTW), amble over to barneys.com and score some sweet Wry Baby bibbage. $20 each only at Barneys.

Awww. When Cost Plus World Market asked us to give the boring old hooded towel the Wry Baby treatment, the first place we went was Pirates. But Princesses were a close second! And the funnest part about doing the Princess Towel for World Market was creating a Bath Time Fairy Tale fit for a smelly, yet-to-be-bathed tot of royal blood. Here’s the fun label we created for the Cost Plus World Marktet Princess hooded towel:

Now, if you click above you’ll get a bigger view, but for the carpal tunnel crowd, here’s the whole bath time tale:

ONCE UPON A BATH TIME…

THERE WAS ONCE A LITTLE PRINCESS who was under the curse of a terrible Sea Dragon. The bad Dragon had made her so stinky and smelly, that not one of her  subjects would play with her. This made the Princess sad. Very smelly, and very sad.

Her father, the King, had an idea. He would give the Princess a nice, long warm bath. Perhaps that would lift the curse! They scrubbed and scrubbed until finally the Princess smelled like a field of pretty flowers!

The bad Dragon took one whiff of the little Princess and sneezed so hard (for most Dragons are allergic to flowers, you know) that he was blown far, far away. And the Princess lived cleanly ever after. THE END.

Looking for the perfect baby gift for a little princess in your life? Guide all the King’s horses over to worldmarket.com or rescue one from the ogres at your local World Market!

Who could resist?

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of November 10, 2008 Your baby wants me to inform you that those creamed carrots you’ve been buying aren’t really that great and that’s why more stays out than goes in. Also, can you not talk on the phone while your feeding? It’s really distracting.

Mysterio Predicts is a special guest and co-contributer to Raising Funny People – The Wry Baby Blog. Wry Baby, makers of funny baby clothes, unique baby shower gifts and fun gifts for new parents bring you Mysterio Predicts every Monday here at wrybaby.com/blog.

To learn more about Mysterio, or purchase Mysterio’s popular baby tee shirts featuring Mysterio’s predictions of your baby’s amazing future, visit Mysterio’s corner of Wry Baby at www.wrybaby.com/mysterio-predicts.aspx. You can write to Mysterio at mysterio@wrybaby.com but be aware that not only is he very busy with his predictions and may not reply right away, he is also kind of a jerk. All the great ones are.

Spotted at the local BP on Hwy 150. No price. No offer. Just a gallon ‘a’ milk. The sign’s been like this for days.

Mooresville is farm country. Barns like this dot the landscape on your short drive into Charlotte to go to the Apple Store.

This ultra-soft, 100% organic tribute to our hometown is available now at a fun store near you, or online from your crunchy friends at Wry Baby.

Arg, we posted before about our much anticipated launch of the baby hooded towels and washcloths we made exclusively for Cost Plus World Market. I thought I’d share a close-up of the fun label we did for the Pirate themed hooded towel. As with all our fun baby gifts and baby clothes, we spared no brain cells to make every inch of this fun baby shower gift super fun.

Our super fun pirate hooded towel and washcloth bath set is available now exlusively at Cost Plus World Market. Find a store near you here or pick it up online at worldmarket.com

Okay, you can probably guess who we’re behind today, but we try to be even handed in our funny baby clothing offerings none the less. We’re the ones with the Totally Non-Partisan baby snapsuits, remember? We’re also the people that brought the Fightin’ Democrats and the Rowdy Republican tees to your local Barney’s NY. But, politics aside, I found this very funny (albeit politically themed) update of the classic Budweiser “Wassup” spot. Having an extensive advertising background, I found this to be hilarious on a lot of levels (even comparing it to the original, which it follows almost shot for shot). Take a look, have a laugh and go vote for who you like. True. True.

BEFORE:

AFTER

Wry Baby friend and past partner in advertising crimes, Andrew Tonkin, just reminded me of the Super Friends Wassup spoof that appeared shortly after the original Bud spot aired. Also very hilarity.

SUPER FRIENDS WASSUP

Celebrating your candiates landslide victory? Celebrating the humiliating defeat of the opposing party? Wanting to extend the warm, fuzzy feeling of this historical campaign? Now’s your last chance to save some serious cash before someone raises your taxes. I’m not doing a very good job selling this, I know, but these funny baby political clothes sell themselves quite nicely over at wrybaby.com. At up to 70% OFF, how could they not?

	Mysterio Predicts the Week of November 3, 2008 Tomorrow, as you wait to vote, you will glance down at your baby and think, “My choice today will greatly affect my life, my family’s well being and my child’s future.” The pressure will be enormous, but after checking thrice to confirm your write-in vote for the great Mysterio, you will feel overwhelming inner peace.

Our “Me For President” bib made a guest appearance on Good Morning America last week! That’s the good news. The bad news is this particular funny baby bib is completely sold out at Barneys NY (the origins of our funny baby political clothes) and at wrybaby.com. The worse news? Our entire line of funny baby political clothing will disappear completely after Election Day. And that’s tomorrow, Folks! But chin up! There’s still other funny baby political onesies, bibs and t-shirts available today at wrybaby.com! And they’re on SALE!
