Do I need to "Pimp my Ride"?


Let me first say: I actively dislike pushing a stroller. It makes me feel lame and mumsy. AND here in the real OC, there is a big sense of haves/have nots. I can't go anywhere without putting on make up and a flashy outfit or I will be mistaken for the nanny (I wish I was kidding).
BUT! I was at "The Spectrum"( a gaudy vegas-y mall... that's a good thing, 'cause I love to shop) with my friend Ladybug ( who, bless her MADE me try on a dress, which was a size 6, which fit, which was expensive but I bought it anyway cause... Size 6!! What a pick me up. Of course sizing is so screwy, but it's Anthropologie which is cute girl clothes... anyway... I digress) I was pushing my none too cheap little tangerine colored Chicco (the dress matches it, Honestly it's so Sophia Loren!.. the dress not the stroller, can you even picture Sophia Loren pushing a stroller? On her... yep it would be sexy) walking, chatting, and noticing that everyone I passed, who was wielding a baby buggy, did a sidelong glance, rolled their eyes and moved on. I SWEAR! So it's not a $700 Bugaboo or an over the top Peg Perego... Damn it it's a nice mid sized family.... oh god... it's the Chevrolet of strollers and I'm living in Hummer land...

Yes, but the people who drive Hummers... we worry about them.

You have a *gorgeous* healthy baby in a perfectly fine stroller, AND you fit into a size six dress. I'd say you're doing all right.

I'm with Meegan- Do not even worry about what those poor benighted souls think. They aren't giving anyone else a second thought, are they... Play it all up, SisterWoman! you know how to work it :-)
LOL I almost spit out my water regarding the nanny comment- if the Boy didn't look so much like me, it so would have happened to us, too.
