Why do so many want Kate to "dress her age"? Kate Gets Ready For The Emmy's!

Kate Gosselin's NYC Road Trip with Steve Neild: CelebrityGossip.net

Hitting the road alongside one another, Kate Gosselin and Steve Neild were spotted making their way to New York City, New York on Monday (August 23). Departing from Reading, Pennsylvania, the TLC reality star mom and her bodyguard pal stopped by Dunkin' Donuts for a coffee pick-me-up before making the drive to the Big Apple's ritzy Essex House Hotel. The trip comes as Kate and Steve continue to battle rumors that they are having an affair - which the NYC adventure surely won't help calm down. (FYI: She is prepping for the Emmy's)

Meanwhile, Kate has been readying for a big upcoming weekend - during which time she's scheduled to display her “not-so-serious side” alongside host Jimmy Fallon at the start of the Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on Sunday, August 29th.

Your New Wardrobe Looks Tarty! Isn’t This Too Racy For A Mom?: Hollywoodlife.com

Here’s the question – when we give birth or adopt, do we also take on an obligation to dress with more decorum than before we had little ones who should be looking up to us as role models? And does that mean we ditch the minis, short shorts, halter-tops and heels? Are plunging necklines still OK, but only for a night out on the town? These are questions I can’t help ponder when I look at Kate Gosselin’s latest get-ups. It’s not that the individual fashion items are objectionable on their own, but it’s the combination – high heels plus loads of leg, lots of bare skin on top and then long, bleached blonde hair. It all adds up to a look that just doesn’t reassuringly say “mom,” especially for a woman who sets herself up as a role model for other moms. She’s not just the star of Kate Plus 8, she’s also the author of advice-giving books, Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets, Eight Little Faces: A Mom’s Journey and I Just Want You To Know: Letters to My Kids on Love, Faith and Family.

Furthermore her new TLC show, A Twist of Kate, has Kate traveling the country giving help and mommy advice to families.So one of the country’s most infamous moms has decided it’s OK to be a role model and go shopping with her kids for back-to-school clothes, in short, tight, skin-baring looks. But maybe I’m being a big prude.“She’s sending a message out loud and clear that she’s available,” points out Suze Yalof Schwartz, a Today Show regular. “Do I think it’s chic? Absolutely not. But do I think it’s appealing to many men? YES! She’s not dressing for her kids. She knows she’s being photographed and this is better than Match.com. It’s the ultimate profile.” Yalof doesn’t think Kate is actually being overtly sexual, but she is trying to be fashionable and just isn’t quite getting it right.“She’s wearing all the big trends – animal prints, satin and leather low cut boots/shoes, but it’s just too much,” Yalof says. “Tight, tight and tight high heels – just doesn’t do it.”

On the other hand, Yalof applauds Kate as a mom of eight for not just wearing scrubs all day.“It’s amazing, she’s putting in the effort – it’s better than wearing elasticized pants, baggy t-shirts and flip flops.” OK, those are all good points. However Joanna Douglas, fashion and beauty editor of Shine.com disagrees to a degree. “It wouldn’t be fine for her to dress like this if she was going out at night with friends,” Douglas says. “She’s 35, she’s got a great body and is in good shape but no kids want to get an eyeload of their moms cleavage. … Going out with her kids in the middle of the day like this, just makes her seem attention-hungry.”

Or is she just not being practical? That’s the concern of Susan Crenek GLAMOUR.com’s executive online editor for fashion and beauty. “It’s very difficult to run after and take care of a kid (much less eight) when you’re worried about necklines dipping into scandalous territory,” she says. So what do you think – am I being too harsh to expect Kate to dress in a way that won’t provoke the eww factor from her kids? She has said she’s lonely, and what single mom with the burden of raising eight kids wouldn’t be? She has a right to long for a love partner again. Hey, she’s 35! But are tight, short clothes the right way to telegraph it? Or is Kate right to throw her hands up at me and any other critics and just dress the way she wants – mommy-appropriate or not? Let me know what you think!

The Gosselin's Buy At Boscov's, Jon Gosselin Finally Gets A Gig, But Is It The Right One?

Hello Gosselin fans! Yes once again, BabyMama is on FIYA (fire) with the rapid amount of posts in the last few days. For a family that is keeping low before school starts, how is it that there is so much to talk about? Yesterday we had someone in our comments section speak about how unhappy they were that this was a Gosselin site, yet we have no much negative to say about Jon. To be honest, I did already stress my sadness at seeing Jon spend the last year doing absolutely nothing. And I also was very upset at the way he went through girlfriends in the past year like articles of clothing. And just like those hate sites that attack Kate at every breath..this is the place recently where the other side came to vent.

Bottom line, Jon's name is at the top of this page because he is forever a part of this family whether married to Kate or not. And someday I hope to have a site just as devoted to the both of them as my OTHER site was for 2 years. I give somebody loyalty and respect until they show me a reason I shouldn't. And as far as Kate, I continue to give her that respect because I still think she is a wonderful mother to her kids, and I wish nothing but amazing thing for herself. Jon, well, as you see below, every day he gives me a reason to just lift my hands & say "I give up" just like Kate...

Getting ready for another school year, Kate Gosselin was back out with her brood of eight children to load up on supplies and clothes in Reading, Pennsylvania on Saturday (August 21). According to a paparazzo source on the scene, bodyguard Steve Neild drove the family van as the group pulled into the local Boscov's retail center for their bulk purchases. With a film crew from TLC was there to capture all of the action. Kate quickly popped over to the driver's side so the cameramen could start shooting scenes.

The back to school efforts follow a recent family trip to Bald Head Island, of which Kate blogged, "We not only returned [to Bald Head Island] this year, but also hope to return each year and have decided to make this our Gosselin summer tradition ... To match our many Gosselin winter traditions. To me, there is nothing like a well-made tradition to help us reflect on the years past as well as project forward to the years ahead!" She added, "Thanks Bald Head Island for providing the rest, relaxation and connection this family -- as well as so many other families we've had the privilege of meeting here -- needs year after year after year!"
