FLDS Launches New Line of Clothing. Diablo III Announced. Coincidence?
As seen at WorldNetDaily:
Pastel prairie-style dresses, modest shirts, trousers, long underwear and nightgowns are just some of the new Fundamentalist LDS clothing now available at sensible prices for purchase online.
Members of the church are marketing their modest children’s clothing online, and proceeds are reportedly donated to children who have been affected by the raid on Texas’ YFZ Ranch this year.
“This site is dedicated to provide children with clothing that meets the FLDS standards for modesty and neatness,” the site says. “Our commitment is to offer quality, handmade, modest, affordable clothing. Each piece is made with joy and care.”
Need I mention that these are perfect compliments to your judgement jammies and chastity bracelets?

I call “reaching.”
These are cute, sensible kids clothes geared towards people with reasonable, though no longer mainstream, opinions on what it’s ok for children to wear. I would have accepted any of these items as a gift for my son when he was little (gender appropriateness taken into consideration, of course).

Guilty of “reaching” as charged. I think the reason it interested me, is that it’s another example of somebody’s 15 minutes of fame being exploited for all its worth.
The comparisons to judgement jammies and chastity bracelets were just pure unadulterated snark.

I find it amazing that they wear homemade, pastel prairie-style dresses… and run a website that sells them on the side. There seems to be a 200 year gap in between the two practices.
Still, it’s damn hard to find clothes made with joy nowdays. And $13 for a pair of one-piece underwear?! I’d have to go to confession afterwards, ’cause that’s a steal!

@Amber: 2 points for admitting snark. Good karma bonus for it being “unadulterated.”
@Bissrok: Almost as weird as using a modern piece of telecommunications gear to pretend that you’re a pre-industrial, fantasy elf, troll, warrior, etc.
