Fabulous has left Park Slope (Again!?)

I like to check in with fake FIPS (Fabulous in Park Slope) every once in awhile to see what Mrs. Fab is up to, and of course get some reccs for some pretentious, over the top fashions that neither you nor I could ever afford. But on my most recent jaunt on over there I discovered this: "I left the city for a simpler, although not less fabulous, life in Upstate New York. More grass, more friends, more kids... less shopping."

Wait, like left for good?! LEFT LEFT??!!

As many of you might remember, it was only last year that Mrs. Fab migrated to our fine nabe and made her showstopping debut on PSP. Her blog, fake FIPS, was her response to that whole kerfuffle.

It's hard to tell if Mrs. Fab means she's on an extended trip to their weekend house in the "country" or if she really means that they've moved from Park Slope...but it kind of sounds like Fab is GONE. Like for ever!

And while I would imagine that you're all probs pretty broken up over that turn of events, you can at least comfort yourselves with the news that Mrs. Fab is preggo! So soon there will be another fabulous bebe!

YAY!

While she hasn't yet changed the name of her blog to Fabulous in Bedford, or wherever the hell she moved, posting has seriously slowed down. She did, however, manage to slip in this little dandy from last Friday about an "adorable Joseph jumpsuit" that looks like an ugly pair of overalls to me, but what the fuck do I know. Nothing about being fabulous...that's for damn sure.

Who Gives A Shit? Outdoor Concert Fashions

Reporting from Park Slope in the Catskills, the littlest and I were transported back to Yasgur's Farm this weekend to see the psychedelic, synchronistic, still superb Carlos Santana play at the site of Woodstock for the first time in 40 years. It was just us and 16,000 of the most hilariously motley assortment of concertgoers I've seen yet.

Holy shit, the fashions!

FABULOUS IN PARK SLOPE: IT'S HERE!!

Just a few short weeks ago, we all joined into the collective, crowdsourced inquiry regarding whether or not there was any "fabulous" left in Park Slope (hint: there was none)...and yeah, we realized that shit had gotten a *little* depressing around good ole' Park Slob (espesh after I lost that ebay auction for that MOTHERFUCKING CHINCHILLA SLEEVED COAT!), but we pressed on and crossed our fingers that "fabulous" might somehow find its way back to us chumps.

Well, good news, bitches!

Fabulous is HEEEEEEERE!

'Is There No Fabulous Left in Park Slope??' [PSP BREEDER RANT]

There are many, many good reasons to shell out the $25 smackers required to sign your baby making ass up for Park Slope Parents.

There are tips on how to "Ferberize" your bebes, women ready, willing, and able to answer any breastfeeding query you might have, suggestions on great piano teachers in the area, and rec's for good nannies. But my most favorite-ist thing about PSP by far, is when people post shit like this little gem:

COOL OR NOT COOL: BLOGGING ABOUT Kiddie FASHION?

Look, bitches: I tried really hard to not post about this blog--Planet Awesome Kid. REALLY hard.

But then I started clicking around, and before I knew it my gag reflex was engaged, and well....here we are.

I mean, duh...all the kids featured on this blog *are* v. friggin cute; and I'm sure its author is well intentioned, fashion forward, and lovely IRL. BUT, is it me, or is it a little odd to be blogging about the fashion "choices" of children WHO HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE what they are wearing to begin with? And are likely taking a shit in their pants moments after their "fashion photo" is snapped?
