Behold the line of shoes from Heelarious, a company that makes high heels for infants (”her first high heels”):
High heels for babies. High heels for babies. High heels. For babies.
From the web page:
heežlaržižous [he-lair-ee-uhs] - noun:
extremely funny, completely soft, fully functional high heel crib shoes for babies. Not intended for walking (heel will collapse with weight). Not intended to harm children in any way. WARNING: May cause extreme smiling and hysterical laughter when in use (this is completely normal).
The·heelarious®Story
Britta Bacon & Hayden Porter are childhood friends turned business partners. While Hayden was completely obsessed with high heels, Britta wasn’t even sure if she owned a pair. On her way to her daughter Kayla’s 4th birthday party, Britta was reminiscing about when Kayla was a baby and Hayden’s shoe obsession crossed her mind. She thought to herself “That would have been hilarious if I could have brought Kayla to a party in high heels when she was a baby”. It was at that moment that ·heelarious® was born.
After 7 years of working together on various projects, Britta and Hayden joined their creative forces to launch ·heelarious®. With safety and comfort as their main concern, Hayden and Britta were successful in creating a soft, fully functional crib shoe designed to look like a high heel. The style names were inspired by their daughters, Kayla and Brooke.
May these shoes bring as many smiles and as much laughter to your life as they have to ours.
We hope you enjoy ·heelarious® as much as we do.· Britta and Hayden ·
As my great-grandma used to say when perplexed, “Good god a’mighty.”

I’ve been meaning to catch this new documentary about the impact of America’s obsession with beauty on young girls, but haven’t had the chance. Let me recommend it anyway. It’s been getting a lot of buzz.

odd how the first thing i thought when seeing a kneeled over person in heels in the frame before starting the video was “blow job.” then i realized that it was a BABY! i guess that goes partially to show the link between heels and sex in our culture….
“Heelarious” = gag gift.
