Even when that custom Halloween costume came off the rack. We funny baby clothes making goofballs here at Wry Baby figure that if you can’t decide which costume to wear out on the big night, why not wear both?

Also notice that’s a Spiderman candy bucket. 3 outfits in 1!!

See other costumes that are already too clever to alter at wrybaby.com. Our Super Snapsuit is an excellent choice for boys and girls and they’re available now for just $30. Make every day super!

Never mind that Wikipedia lists our funny baby clothes business as the #3 industry in our lovely town of Mooresville, NC because the real proof of our fame and notoriety has landed on our doorstep. Wry Baby HQ has made the cover of this years phone book!

We were so excited until Kelly took a closer look and saw that Donald, our disastrous temp hire, happened to be working the day the photo was taken.

We had to fire Donald (you can read all about that ordeal here) but now we have all year to be reminded of his time with us. Bummer.

I posted before about the funny pet costumes thing, but I saw this on cuteoverload.com and had to share. Amazing!

Why not pay tribute to a true Halloween classic and treat yourself to a little snippet of Disney’s Headless Horseman. We can’t get enough of the theme song over here at WB HQ.

Hey, the funny political gear we did exclusively for Barneys NY got a little ink in the Style Section of the NY Times this week! Our popular political bibs may be out of stock on wrybaby.com, but Barneys NY has some left! Our favorite, “VETO VEGGIES” went fast over at wrybaby.com, so get thee to Barneys if you want to snap one up. Because, like our retirement accounts, when they’re gone, they’re gone for good!

As Ellen Tien writes in NY Times’ PULSE: Purple may be the color of the season, but in the weeks before Election Day, there’s no shortage of red, white and blue. Clothing and jewelry designers are intent on making their own fashionable political statements, be they general exhortations to vote or support for specific candidates. Here are several pieces that seem to be winning the popular vote.

We’re the first slide, too! Yay! But get a load of the second slide. Kinda flippin’ amazing.

Here’s a closer look at one of the hooded towel & washcloth sets that Wry Baby designed especially and exclusively for World Market. We took the basic hooded towel and expanded on the hood to create a little terry Princess hat complete with satiny ribbon trim up top (the perfect length for blowing in the wind whislt awaiting rescue from yonder tower window). We also added pockets to the inside top corners of the towel so it could be useful for playtime as well as bathtime!

Now gracing a World Market near you (or online at worldmarket.com), Wry Babys exclusive Princess hooded towel and washcloth set. The hooded towel comes with a fun fairy tale suitable for bathtime about a cute little Princess who was cursed to be incredibly smelly, the dragon that cursed her and her eventual rescue by the King and some soap.

From the World Market website, you get a better idea of how the hooded towel pockets look.The bath towel is a generous 24″Wx36″L and the washcloths are an enormous 12″x12″.

You can only find the Wry Baby Princess Bath Set at your local World Market or online at worldmarket.com.

Our new baby hooded towels and washcloth sets have finally arrived at World Market! Our mission for World Market was to make fun hooded baby towel/washcloth sets for baby boys and girls the Wry Baby way - with smidgen of humor and a lot of cute all rolled into a great baby gift.

We love Cost Plus. Even if they changed their name to the more exotic World Market.

While our new baby hooded towels and washcloth sets are debuting in the Halloween section of World Markets nationwide, our new fun baby bath gear will be available year round! Can you spot our new fun baby gifts in the photo above? Can you!?

We had to let our temp staffer, Donald, go today. And by “go” I mean we totally fired his a**. Things finally came to a head this afternoon when Kelly told him not to come in tomorrow. Typically, Donald lost it completely and started trashing the office until he got tired and quietly left. Honestly, good help really IS hard to find!

Good riddance to bad bananas, we say! Terri Cola comes back tomorrow! Yay!

Okay, I don’t know if someone said something to Donald, our temp who’s here until Terri gets back, but he just went totally crazy NUTS this morning! For, like, zero reason! It’d be really funny if it wasn’t so freaking scary. He’s calm now, as I type this, but that was just too, too much. And we didn’t even press the whole “pooping on the floor” thing! Seriously, we’re so glad it’s Friday so we can get away from Donald. Come back, Terri Cola!

Donald was fine until he got off the phone.

Then he goes completely ape s***. And I don’t mean that disrespectfully.

Afterward he stayed under the order desk for a while. Awkward!! Later he took a big order for Super Snapsuits, so it turned out to be an okay morning otherwise.

Amazon.com is always fun to visit because they take your searches and creepily recommend things you might be interested in. I like that because sometimes they actually find something I didn’t know existed. For example, that old ’70s treat, The Hudson Brothers Razzle Dazzle Show, is on DVD now. Who knew!? But there are times when Amazon’s system breaks down and I’m introduced to something that SHOULDN’T exist. Case in point:

GNOMES!? COLLEGE FOOTBALL GNOMES!? Y
