Ringing up baby
Rich, older moms in N.Y. and Chicago are snapping up $1,240 diaper bags and $500 bassinets. But the rest of the country is about to throw an enormous tantrum.

    Dang Salon! How do you do it. Now your reading my mind.

    I was walking around Cole Valley this very afternoon doing errands 'n things here in good ole' Frisco. Of course, I've noticed the last couple of years there is a baby boom going on right in this neigbhorhood. Then it dawned on me! Babies are the new fashion accessory. SUVs, beamers and Volvos just aren't cutting it anymore. Nope. Now, you gotta have a little humanoid pooper to impress your friends with your economic status.

    Shoot, It's a shame Thorstein Velblen isn't around to see this.
