The "models" are too fake looking to be a good judge of what these look like in real life. I think you mean Photoshopped on top of boys and girls, not “modeled” on the Mouthman site.

I saw them at the Kidsfaire in Pleasanton Ca, but didnt have the money to buy right then. I took a flyer and my hubby FB friended them...saw the link to this blog there. ...didnt mean to be selling anything...my bad! :( That said...I am sure as the company grows I would hope they will probably use a very diverse cross section of the human population modeling their shirts in their advertising...

I do not think that a unisex model would be very effective in inducing me to buy a particular item of clothing. Don't blame advertising for gender assignment. Teach your kids to develop their own style. And how to box. I have never seen any clothing modeled by a live unisex.
