They say never to work with kids...

The old saying tells us never to work with kids or animals, but I think some of the best moments in life come when you do.  Kids make us laugh like we did when we were young.  The biggest belly laughs I have are always because of something a child says or does.

One of the things I enjoy is the photo sessions we have where children model our new stock.  Most kids are natural clowns and show offs so the sessions can be really hilarious.  They can also produce some incredible, character filled shots like this one.


They know how to take up the role, don't they?

So does this little girl at a live modelling event.  Watch the video and let me leave you with a smile.

Munster Clothing

One the many brands we supply comes from MunsterKids.  They were founded in Sydney in 2003 and now supply their range of clothing all over the world.  Their clothing range is inspired by music, art and street culture and is intended to add some attitude into clothes that kids can wear.
 
The concept behind MunsterKids is based on the urban legend called Mickey Munster who is a good hearted and mischievous trouble maker.  He was a skinny street kid who lived in Dunster and could easily be recognised by his fat pudgy nose, white pointy teeth and long sharp ears but disappeared at the age of six and no one is too sure what happened to him.
They say that one way to check if Micky Munster is near is to shine a torch on your child and look to see if the shadow of Mickey Munster can be seen.  For more on this urban myth have a look at the  MunsterKids website.  I am sure we can all recognise that devious element in our kids and may even remember what we were like at the same age.

The style of the clothing and range of accessories have been designed to be comfortable as well as durable and are suited for babies, girls and boys from 3 months of age up to 12 years.  Have a look at our range of Munster clothing and don't forget to check if Mickey Munster is near your child.
