Baby Booties… and Spare Me the Cracks!

Be sure to check out Coppertone.comso they don’t sue me and stuff. It wasn’t too terribly long ago – in fact, it wasn’t nearly long enough ago – that I finally broke down, stopped shopping in the Juniors’ section, and asked for directions to the Misses’ section.

The Gonzo Mama Goes Au Natural!

Well, not exactly… but I’m feeling all sorts of natural in my spiffy new tee from ProMom Couture! (Yes, they’re real!) Check out the cute logo, and it’s so soft you can wrap a newborn in it (but who would want to, when you could be looking hot in it?). Promom sent me this shirt … Read more

Recession Got You Down? The Gonzo Mama’s Do-It-Your-Damn-Self Guide to Couture

My friends over at LipstickDaily.com are much more in tune with the season’s hot, must-have fashion elements, for some reason. Maybe because, unlike me, Kate and Elaine actually have jobs which call for a style of dress that does not include pajama pants, kids’ t-shirts and ball caps. Maybe because, unlike me, Kate and Elaine … Read more
