The End of Mommy Blogs
I like to believe that's Dr. Pepper in the bottle. Papi had to talk me down off the ledge again last night. I was having my bimonthly emotional crisis*. This time it was brought on by reading too many good-mother blogs. When I first stumble across these I find them inspiring. The moms take professional-quality pictures of children in clothes that they personally sewed from vintage fabric. They make healthy dinners using the organic, locally-grown produce they find at the farmer's market, which of course their children are delighted to eat. Their children eschew Pokemon in favor of Waldorf toys and have yet to watch a television program. They go on "simple living" kicks while simultaneously posting at least daily about the perfectly hip items they found that they COULD buy, because they're also somehow not teetering on the brink of financial apocalypse. They live in mint-condition midcentury houses that are featured on Cookie's blog. All of these things...
Good afternoon Miss,
ReplyDeleteAllow me to introduce myself. I am the Director of Marketing for The J. Peterman Company. In my daily trolling of the World Wide Web, I came across your article... "More fun with J. Peterman". I wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for your post. I am always looking for more of the elite, J. Peterman, follower.
Now, being a Mac user, when I clicked on your link to the Mogul Caftan (No. 1862), it did not resolve properly. I've included a link here that should work for all users.

Again, thank you for your post.
Also, you may be interested to know that J. Peterman has a blog site. We've brought the same, wonderful copy from our catalog and presented it in a community for curious minds at: Peterman's Eye - http://www.petermanseye.com
When you have a moment, I'd love for you to jump over and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Jonathan Sexton | Director of Marketing

Umm, I guess the tounge-in-cheek thing might be lost on this guy...
