Fashion Icon: Upset Toddlers   Archive   RSS
Two feminists with a love of gossip sites and an inability to "shut up" or "smile correctly" when gossip sites draw obscene images on pictures of 15 year olds or refer to bisexual men and women as attention seeking.

So we created this tumblr to talk about that.

The title of the blog comes from our mutual loathing of pictures of crying and/or upset celebrity children. We wish such pictures, like many of the things we highlight here, would disappear from the face of the earth.

Orlando Bloom Brings Out the Baby - E! Online

So these are the stories are we told, to reiterate - Orlando Bloom, who actually has been pictured caring for his son many many many times since he was born and spoken in interviews about how much he loves being a father, has in this ONE picture “sparked” to fatherhood. More to the point - he is BABYSITTING. Not caring for, not watching, babysitting. Dads don’t actually babysit, they parent. But, you know, the verbs and nouns in these kind of stories are already set - it’s just insert the name.
