IK! Carter's "Real Love" John Lennon Clothing Collection

When we first set up this page for a Carter's "Real Love" Contest several months ago,
our model, was 19 months old. Anthony James SanAngelo, son of Andie and Mark SanAngelo,
and grandson of yours truly, is now the ripe old age of 3, but still looks really snazzy in his
larger-sized Carter apparel!

Anthony is showing IK! readers just a few of the styles that have
been available for boys' toddlers size 2T. There has been a complete array of
styles and sizes for infants up to size 6 for boys and girls.

We purchased all of Tony's outfits at Carter's Outlet stores in Traverse City
and West Branch, Michigan. On a recent trip (March, 2001), when we checked the store in
West Branch, we discovered the "Real Love" line was only available in the infant sizes.
The JCPenney catalog also carried some of the infant clothing and other
"Real Love" items, such as comforters and lamps.

To find out where the nearest Carter's store is to you,
visit the Carter's Website and click on "Shop Locater"
in the frames bar at the left.

(Note: Some of our close-ups of the designs on the clothing are from
the "Real Love" book and may be slightly different than the designs on the clothing.)

CARTER'S CLOTHING COLLECTION-

	"Hurry up! 'Blues Clues' is coming on!"

	SELF-PORTRAIT It's John Lennon, and that means "rock 'n roll" so naturally we couldn't resist this chance to show Tony in his Daddy's more than 100-year-old rocking horse! You'll see another JOL Self-Portrait design when you scroll down the page.

The well-dressed toddler on the playground is wearing the John Lennon Monkey Chattering sweatshirt. Teamed up with tan "man-about-town" pants, this outfit is sure to catch the eye of every little toddler girl swinging on the monkey bars.

	At left, we see Tony wearing the "Frog Marching" beige sweatshirt. Below is a close-up view of the design.

A HORSE LAUGHING The horse is laughing while Tony prefers his patented "smirk."

	On the left, Tony is showing the latest in rap apparel for toddlers: the John Lennon "big dog" drawing on a red sweatshirt. Just add a black knit cap and you're ready for action! Here's a close-up of the picture on the sweatshirt:

At right, Anthony adjusts the volume control on the boombox as a Plastic Ono Band selection kicks into gear. He's wearing a red turtleneck to set off the self-portrait on his beige sweatshirt and pants ensemble. Below is a close-up of the self-portrait logo on Tony's sweatshirt.

	For a very subtle touch of John Lennon, Anthony prefers the jeans-look shirt that can be worn over a turtleneck top. The John Lennon signature with a yellow sunshine symbol can't really be seen in this picture but trust us, it's there..and it's very cool. At least, Tony thinks so. (We'll try to get a better scan of this later)

After a hard day at the office it's nice to come home to a cushy chair, a pair of friends and a Buffalo Bills game on the tube. Tony is wearing a light blue JOL Elephant shirt - soft, comfy and warm for those cooler days of Autumn.

	Here's that other "Self-Portrait" view we promised. Is Tony starting to look just a wee bit disgusted with all this picture-taking? Time to call it quits. Okay... maybe just one more!

All of this modeling can only be described as a "hair-raising" experience for Anthony. So he's going to say bye bye for now and toddle off wearing his navy Monkey Chattering sweatshirt.....
