Thoughts of an Uppity Grad. Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Yari's Baby Clothes: Object History. Yari's baby clothes had a long history before Yari.

My thoughts are turning more toward a certain "Outstanding Drama" winner:. Articles analyzing character's drinks. There...

Thoughts of an Uppity Grad: Yari's Baby Clothes: Social Context
http://uppitygrad.blogspot.com/2010/09/yaris-baby-clothes-social-context.html
Thoughts of an Uppity Grad. Tuesday, September 21, 2010. Yari's Baby Clothes: Social Context. The garment is pink and clearly meant to indicate the gender of the baby. Pink is a color wrought with meaning with regard to gender and sexuality. A simple Google search of "pink color" shows that its meaning is a controversial subject among women, particularly when it is related to children.

Thoughts of an Uppity Grad. Sunday, October 25, 2009. Welcome to the preservation station! When I was about 9 years old, one of my favorite books was Lyddie.
