Hi Everyone!

I just revamped our company blog and am in the process of freshening up the overall look and voice of the blog. At http://blog.roomitup.com I'll be posting daily about a variety of topics including: (but not limited to!) our collection, fashion & accessories, industry news, entertainment and pop culture, social media, and pretty much anything else that we think is fun and/or inspires us. I hope you'll check it out and become a follower. Thanks!

A few months ago, I stumbled across a press release entitled "Ready Made Inc. debuts new disposable baby bottle prototype at Smart Baby Expo."

And I quote, "The new biodegradable paper based design was a major selling point for parents who are concerned with the environmental impact of plastics and the threat of Bisphenol-A in plastic baby products."

You have GOT to be kidding me. Talk about a green wash! How on earth can this company tout this DISPOSABLE, FORMULA-FILLED bottle as "green" (and keep a straight face).

Now that 2010 has arrived, this product is going to be hitting the shelves, or to quote the manufacturer, "will be sold in stores throughout the US and be available to global humanitarian markets" (excuse me while I vomit). And so I thought I had better make you aware of it...
