Baby Toupee - because parents care about prematernal hair loss.

Prematernal? What's that?

If you read the 'About Us' section, you'll see that the company isn't concerned - nor do they think parents are - about 'prematernal hair loss.'

The company’s goal is to bring creative and fun products to market that make parenting a little more fun, all while bringing a smile to the face of their children. Life is too short to take seriously… have fun with your baby!

bim/NationalKato - I made the word up. I was freestyling on the nature of the piece.

I'm saying that prematernal isn't even a word, dude. I've heard of prenatal but prematernal doesn't even make sense.

Why not just say: Baby Toupee -- silly but cute pics of kids?

maternal: in reference to the mother or the state of being a mother
premateral: in reference to state before becoming a mother.

Started looking for quotes from "Designing Women" about baby wigs. Got bogged down here. Took a while to come back up for air.

This is pretty cool. :)

My daughter (3 mos) is taking after her mother who was very slow to grow hair. Not that I am worried about it (she's cute as all hell), but it's still funny to think about putting on her head.

You know, I'm not usually one to say anything, but there's been an awful lot of MeFi/Fark overlap lately. Single-link post to something posted on Fark yesterday? Meh.

I loved The Donald as seen in the gallery. But $25? Nuh-uh.

What, they were having trouble making play dates for these kids? Post-natal drip here needs a spark of confidence? Brilliant. Just wait till junior coughs up a hairball.

This is like dressing up dogs, but sillier...

Funny, I had thought of this as a goofy idea a while back, thought it was novel, only to be beat down to reality by a googling.

I promptly removed the idea and subsequent sketches for it had been "done."

I wonder how their business will do.

Where is the Einstein?
