Boys wear nail polish, too!

Some of you might have seen this on the news or The Daily Show but this is a real ad by J Crew:
Photobucket

The caption reads:
"Lucky for me I ended up with a boy whose favorite color is pink. Toenail painting is way more fun in neon."

I think it's awesome. Most if not all of my nephews have shown up at our doorstep or appeared at their house with nail polish, usually on their toenails. They might not have been as old as this boy but when you're around your mom a lot or your mom wants to know how a color looks...well, it happens and it doesn't mean anything. As for pink, well...even I was chastised the other day by coworkers that pink clothing doesn't necessarily mean the girls section...

Did you see John Stewart talking about this ad? It's brilliant.

LOL, this probably would surprise me more if it weren't for Conan O'Brien. His son is named Beckett and was born in 2005.

Actually, according to the internet, Beckett started gaining in popularity in 2002. There was a decrease in 2006 but it was back on the way up in 2007. In 2010, it was the 356th most popular name for boys. 355th was Phillip.
