Bernie Dexter IS what's H.O.T.!

Well, gang.....we finally did the little update we've been waiting for months & months now to do! We hope you like the new re-design of the site. We've been toying with the idea for a different motif / figure or something (anything) to put in place of our prior "what's hot box" girl and the Babygirl Face.

What would we use? Whatever it was, it had to be perfect. It had to make you smile. It had to be dreamy and eye-catching and look simply smashing with the colours of our site.

We've spent umteen trillion hours on this over the past 7 months now and finally, just last week, the heavens looked kindly upon us and brought forth to us the ever-so-ravishing Bernie Dexter!



Doesn't she look just darling in our BGB Exclusive Stop Staring! Clothing 1930's Film Star Dress? Yeah. We thought so too.

Many Many Many Thanks & Smooches to Bernie. It is an honor to have you grace our pages with your effervescent beauty & charm. Thanks also to Levi Dexter for his Fab-u-lous Photography.

It's Halloween in the Summertime!

Halloween in the Summertime! Well, for those of you that don’t know us yet, Halloween is our favorite holiday! Why? Because you get to try on and play with all manner of personae on Halloween and that makes for good times in our book! We think every day should be Halloween. Everyday you should be able to be who you want, wear what you want, and do whatever it is you want – as long as you don’t hurt anyone. Remember “All of Life’s a Stage!”

Because we love Halloween so much, we are planning for our biggest Halloween ever! We have been steadily loading up on lots of fabulous costumes from Leg Avenue and Coquette, and we have more on the way!



A word to the wise: Buy your costume early this year! It is in the summertime that the companies that sell Halloween Costumes can get their hands on the best selection. If you wait until 2 weeks before Halloween, many of the most popular costumes are already sold out, dear lovelies. Plus, if you buy early, you will have time to make any necessary size exchanges, etc.

We have organized our costumes into several “themed” categories to make selecting a costume easier for you.

The Land of Fantasy features these types of costumes: Dolls, Sothern Belles, Ballerinas, Kitty Cats, Genies, Super Heros, Gladiators, Angels, Brides, Mermaids, Renaissance Wenches, Pre Historic Cave Women, Lady Bugs, Bumblebees, Catwoman, Cowgirls & Indians and more

In The Land of Fairytales is where you will find Storybook characters like Snow White, the Snow Princess, Alice & Wonderland, Little Red Riding Hood, Little Miss Muffet, Dorothy & other Wizard of Oz characters, Pocahauntus, Captain Hook & other Pirate costumes, Tinker Bell, Pixies, Fairies, Angels, Goldilocks & Cruella de Vil!

In The Big City you can become someone from any walk of life. In this category you will find Gangsta Girls, Cops, Crime Scene Investigators, Sheriffs, Firefighters, Priests & Nuns, Naughty Schoolgirls, Naughty Nurses, French Maids, Playboy Bunnies, Biker Babes & more

In the Pinup Girls Costumes category you will find Burlesque Girls, Military Girls, Army Girls, Sailor Girls, Lady Officers, Troopers, Brownies & More! We predict these costumes will be very popular this year.

In the Exotic Women Costumes category you will find SeƱoritas, Flamenco Dancers, Geishas, Sexy Samurais, Can-Can Girls, Saloon Girls, Bellydancers & More!

In The Party People Costumes category you will find all sorts of Divas, Psychadelic Hippies, 60's Mod Girls, Funky 70's Disco Dancers, Retro Go Go Dancers...

And we haven’t left the fellas out! We have added a Hot Guys Costume’s category, as well! In this category you will find Sailors, Sexy Canadian Mounties, Police Officers, Cave Men, Referees, Footbal Players, Pirates, and our favorite – The Long Schlong.

Finally, we have added Sexy Plus Size Costumes category for all you voluptuous vixens out there! With lots of costumes from which to choose – heck, you can even be a Playboy Bunny if you want to!

So go and check it out and most importantly - lighten up and have some F.U.N., already! The gang @ Babygirl Boutique

What's in a name?

What's with the name, you ask? A fair question. Most people think we are a specialty boutique for children and babies' apparel and accessories due to the name. Well it all started with the owner's husband, Kevin, power lounging on the sofa watching hours and hours of BET (black entertainment television) and hearing entirely too many R & B and rap singers and entertainers refer to their girlfriends, lovers, and wives as "babygirl". As a result it soon became an affectionate nickname for Tatyana, the owner.

When she started the site, four years ago in 2002, the url was http://www.babygirl-inc.com. Tatyana thought it was cute at the time because she thought the name kind of conjured this contrast of qualities - on the one hand, innocence and dependence, and on the other hand - independence and ambition. (think of a yin yang symbol and you get the idea) But, unfortunately all the urls without the hyphen were taken and usually led to porn sites. So, she settled for the hyphen.

Over time, however, it was observed that people tended to get tripped up over the hyphen and had a hard time finding the site on the first try. So, when the site underwent a major redesign a year ago, the url was changed to babygirlboutique.com so that people could more easily remember it.

Something was lost in the conversion of the names that we will hopefully regain in yet another upgrade/overhaul in the future. Tatyana and Leah, also known as Q14, her trusty web mistress and best friend, are almost in the production stages of their own signature line. If and when we ever get it off the ground, you will, at that time, no doubt see the name change for last time.

For those of you that have read this far, here's a little bit of insider info - the owner has an uncontrollable gag reflex when people call ger "babygirl" now. Call her bgb, or babyg, (she rather likes the latter) but PLEASE do not call her "babygirl". It's like if someone called you "pookiekins" 5,000,000 times, you would be ready to strangle them, right? Well, she has a similar reaction. lol. The following is a pic of Tatyana & Kevin (taken about a year ago)
