Remember the loony Saturday Night Live commercial parody about male infantile baldness, and the new market for baby toupees? Well, now there is a company selling celebrity wigs for the non-walking set. Yes, your baby can have hair like Donald Trump or Samuel L. Jackson - or L'il Kim or Bob Marley. Hey, what about "The Rachel" - Jennifer Aniston's hair circa 1995-1996? Clearly this is perfect for Halloween, or really wanting to spook people who haven't seen the baby in a whlie. In the meantime, we'll await conspiracy theories that baby Suri Cruise was wearing a wig.
Order your baby's elaborate wig at Baby Toupee.
