They're both in Henry E. Huntington's collection at the Huntington Library in San Marino, Ca, and we know we've all seen cheap reproductions of the two in our Aunt Dottie's guest bedroom, not to mention in every thrift store across the land, but when and why did this start? How did this robber baron allow his precious boy and girl to be kultchur fodder for the masses? It could have been as early as the 20's, but with advances in color litho, my bet is post WWII. I'd love to know. Your next book, perhaps?

The baby girl clothes come in such a lame assortment of colors that she wanders through the store opening the boy's clothes and remaking "more appropriate" outfit choices. She's constantly getting asked at the check-out - "are you sure you want these, it looks like someone opened them."pazzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04825445481826679083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827397805845199850.post-62310786017211175292007-08-21T21:42:00.000-07:002007-08-21T21:42:00.000-07:00And let us not forget the culturally-defining mome...And let us not forget the culturally-defining moment represented by the movie "Pretty in Pink."<BR/><BR/>This study reminds me of a similar sort of study which "proved" that girls born with a mutant XXX chromosome pair were "more drawn to dolls" while boys born with the XYY mutation were "more traditionally male." I love the idea that our chromosomal arrangements make us somehow more prone to embrace cultural notions about gender.Annalee Newitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12883431472724782095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-827397805845199850.post-11843994009891392742007-08-21T20:52:00.000-07:002007-08-21T20:52:00.000-07:00Ugh.
