Attention All Cuties... It's Time For the Gap Casting Call!

babysugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 07:00:11 -0700

Look up here and say cheese! It is human nature for a woman to think her child is the cutest being that ever crawled the planet but not every mom is savvy enough to recognize the rewards that can come with that precious mug. Proud mamas can enter their babe into Gap's casting call now through Oct. 22. The finalists will take part in a professional photo shoot and will receive a $1,000 redeemable gift card to be used at GapKids or babyGap. They will also enjoy a VIP vacation to either New York or Las Vegas where they will catch a viewing of Disney's The Lion King. And of course, the mommies will gloat when they see their wee one's face lighting up the walls of their local Gap. When that Gap model is all grown up and has generations sitting at her feet, she can pull out those old posters and tell her legacies that she must have been a beautiful baby.

Will you enter your tot in the Gap casting call?

The model photos are magnificent, but it's the behind the scenes snapshots that have me ogling over the twenty Casting Call finalists that made their way to San Francisco (with chaperones) to have their mugs captured on camera. I was lucky enough to attend the fun and kid-friendly photo shoot that had dozens of toys, grilled cheese sandwiches for pint-sized palates, shoulder rides and even an impromptu hurdles session for one of the cuties who wanted to show the photographer his athletic ability! After meeting a few of the lil darlings, I don't know who to choose! It's up to the public to vote so check out this slideshow of Gap's showstopping guys and girls to help you make your decision!

Do You Enter Your Child in Cute Contests?

babysugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 14:00:00 -0700

What parent doesn't think their child is the cutest kid in the world? It's pretty hard not to adore every flaw, scar, dimple, strand of hair, and smile of your sweet pea. So when Gap, Live With Regis and Kelly, or Parenting magazine asks you to submit pictures of your darlings, it's pretty hard to resist, though some would rather keep their cutie patooties behind the lens.

Tell me, do you enter your youngsters in cute contests?

Spot Your Tot on Halloween

My son is always on the run so when he received a Glow-in-the-dark skeleton sleep set ($22) as a gift, I knew it would double as the perfect ECOWEEN costume. Paired with his skull and cross bone Vans ($25) and a smudge of homemade face paint to give the illusion of hallowed eyes, he'll be all set to trick-or-treat. As he lights up the spooky night, I'll also be able to keep an eye on him. And, better yet - he'll be dressed for bed!
