to think adults who wear disney character clothing are odd

[nailpolish]

honestly, why would a grown adult wear a jumper with Eeyore on it

[Purpleparrot]

I think if you like it then wear it. We probably spend far too much time being worried about what other people think of our dress sense and spend far too much money on clothes. I personally like winnie the pooh and have a t shirt and some night wear with him on and I don't care what people think about me wearing them because he is a cute cuddly bear who struggles with his weight.. just like me, only not a bear

[Chocolattegirl]

When I was pg I wore a t-shirt that said 'here comes trouble' underneath a picture of a cute cat. Haven't worn it since though - not keen on the stretched out clothes look now .

I dislike Mickey Mouse & co, and WTP, but like Tigger & Eeyore.
Not suitable for grown ups to wear, but a babygrow with Tigger on seems fine by me.

I did go to Disney in florida for 2 days with DS1, and you do kinda get caught up in the spirit of it while you are there, but I still refused to have anything with the mouse on it....I have my pride.

I think it's odd for anybody to be wearing disney paraphernalia.

Oh, I so agree with you, nailpolish.I am reminded of the shallow antipodean flibbertygibbet and first-generation -"graduate " who my DD had the misfortune to have as her primary class "teacher". My DD wasted a year with that naffly Disney-attired thick cow. At the end of one term she said she was going to Paris for the second time in as many months
"Oooo, lovely," I said," will you be visiting the Rodin Museum?"
"No" she replied, looking baffled. " I'm visiting Disneyland again. I was devastated when I lost my Eeyore necklace @ school somewhere, so I'm going to get a replacement."
" Are you going by yourself?"
"Yes.What's a rodin ?"

[3andnomore]

lol...am I sad then, because..well..ermm..uhm...yes...erm...I got a Pyjama with some Winnie Pooh characters on it..[oh the shame, I suppose....but you know what...it's so comfy and I love it]

[moondog]

Enough to make you weep Notapushy (althoguh teensy bit surprised that the Rodin museum is what yuo think of when it comes to Paris.Maybe you were being a bit of a tease??)

[WelshBoris]

I remember that other thread, I just laughed out loud at a post on it then realised I had written it!

I didn't know that there was a Rodin museum in Paris . I wouldn't waste a trip to Paris to go Disney shopping though!!

ffs.

My sister (30) has Whinny the pooh PJs

[Imawurzel]

I have 2 tigger t-shirts and 1 of piglet,In my defence i only wear them round the house/in garden or when i pop to parents quickly.
I must go shopping sometime soon.

[smoggie]

mum at ds's school has disney crocs ....eughhhh.
Agree that there is something strange about grown women wearing Disney clothing in public, sorry!.....I have the same thoughts about grown women with 'character' back-packs (anyone remember the girl on WNTW with a huge furry animal one?) Oh and women who have lots of fluffy teddies in car or twenty keyring appendages.
Bizarre.

I knew someone at University who had a hammock full of soft toys strung across the back of her car. Hello?!

[Lovecat]

I must confess: I have owned a WtP nightie and dressing gown.

In my defence I must stress that I got them from Mothercare on sale and only wore them in the last month of pregnancy during a bloody cold winter! They went off to Freecycle shortly afterwards.

On Winnie-ther-Pooh generally, I'm with Colditz. And I love EH Shephard's illustrations, they are beautiful (so are the ones he did for A A Milne's nursery rhyme books and for Wind In The Willows - now there's a good book!).

DD's room has EH Shephard stickarounds on the walls and a WtP music box. She loves them and I can't wait til she's old enough to read her the proper stories.

Minnie Mouse, however, can burn in hell. Why isn't her dress long enough to cover her drawers? It always disturbed me as a child....

[WideWebWitch]

I completely agree, I started a thread ages ago about this, mad imo.

[bamamama]

Can't help feeling that character covered clothes of any persuasion are used in place of a personality. I hate disney with a vengence and there is no way while there is breath in my body that my ds is going to disneyland. even if someone else pays. maybe. What is worse are work colleagues who seem to truly believe that social services should be called just because you don't have matching disney nursery furniture.

[mummytosteven]

DisneyShop had some men's Cars underpants in their sale - didn't think DH would appreciate them though

and I didn't know there was a Rodin Museum either - have just about heard of the Louvre though

[chocolattegirl]

I toyed with the idea of a WTP themed nursery when my DD was born but thankfully my DM talked me out of it before I got too far down this primrose-strewn path.

She casually pointed out that the bath sets were cheaper in Toys R Us so that sorted that one out. DD does have two WTP duvets on her bed though but that's as I'm too stingy to buy her Barbie or Bratz now and they're perfectly ok

No.

[Washersaurus]

I also often wonder about the adults I see wearing those stuffed animal shaped rucksacks/backpacks (with apparently no children)....that is weird IMHO

I have to admit that is does seem difficult to avoid disney themed baby stuff - can sort of see how that could spiral into an uncontrollable habit (although not in my house obviously - there is not a hint of disney here....we are faaaaar too stylish)

[sockmonkey]

I had Shaun the sheep bag for work before I had kids & I loved it. It was too small for nappies & wipes etc so it had to go once I became a mummy.
How do you all feel about comic book characters then? Superman, batman etc?

[custy]

i have a penguin /chicken in disguise (wallace & gromit) bag. for display purposes only.

[Washersaurus]

I will admit to having a tiger shaped bag that I loved.....








I was 10 years old!


I'm not keen on any character themed type of stuff really (its all a big marketing ploy y'know), but I wouldn't stop my DS from having something if he really wanted it - he is currently sporting a spiderman cap and sunglasses which he loves so much he wears them indoors!
