Do Your Kids Love House Music?

Let’s set the mood shall we? Please press play and get that ass shakin’…

If I mentioned Sweet Tears, Bump N’ Hustle, or Roxy Blu Reunion, and you immediately knew what I was talking about, AND you either have little kids of your own or you know someone who does, then keep reading. An odd connection? Yes, but it’ll hopefully make more sense in the end.

Bamboo Lily Black "I Love House Music" Hoodie

Toronto is not only known for it’s multiculturalism, great food, and summer patios, but it’s also a major hub of dedicated house music lovers, especially old school house music lovers. You know who you are. You used to party all night with your eyes closed, clapping to the beat with your hands in the air. Nowadays, you may not party seven days a week like you used to, but you make a point to hit up a Sweet Tears party or an outdoor house bonanza at Sunnyside every once in a while. It’s a night to get away from your adulthood and feel like a kid again.

Bamboo Lily Monogrammed Robe

Many of you old school house lovers are now in your 30s and 40s, and possibly either have little kids of your own, or at least have close friends who do. Well, if you want to get the ultimate cool kid gift for your friends or mom’s-to-be, then you HAVE to check out Bamboo Lily. It’s a bamboo clothing line for kids made by one of Toronto’s biggest house music lovers Lily Chiu. Her line is definitely made with the hip kid in mind.

My favorite pieces are her little “I Love House Music” black hoodies that have a cute little kangaroo pocket, and her Mama Said Knock You Out robes with matching kung-fu pants. Want to impress at the next baby shower? Get a custom monogrammed Bamboo Lily baby blanket. It’s super soft and bordered with a luxurious Chinese brocade fabric. It’s definitely an “Ouuuuuu! Ahhhhhhh!” type of gift.

Bamboo Lily clothing and accessories can be found at the One of a Kind Show this Spring (March 30th – April 3rd 2011) and online at www.bamboolily.ca.
