The Evil Baby Glare-Off Finals are upon us. Can you smell the excitement in the air? Does it permeate through the diaper genie stench and the curdled milk spilled behind your couch?
I know. It is THAT STRONG.
Mark and Lotte fought the good fight but got knocked out in yesterday's semi-finals. As a consolation prize, they will both get a Mommy Shorts mug of their choosing. (Wasn't all the stress and the campaigning TOTALLY WORTH IT??)
But it's the two cutthroat ladies below that managed to make their way through the original 32 contestants (not to mention the 175 evil babies submitted to the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage) to face off against each other in today's ULTIMATE BATTLE OF THE GLARE.

GIVEAWAY:
Today's giveaway is a COLOSSAL CUPCAKE ($42) from Crumbs Bakeshop.
The Crumbs Colossal Cupcakes are GINORMOUS, measuring 6 1/2" high and feeding 6-8 people. They come in 16 flavors including the Halloween themed MONSTER MASH pictured above. The Monster Mash is vanilla cake filled with chocolate buttercream topped with orange tinted vanilla cream cheese, green sprinkles and four monster finger puppets.
Crumbs Colossals can be shipped anywhere in the country and TRUST ME, you haven't seen GLEE until you see your child presented with a cupcake larger than her crib.
In case the pictures above aren't doing the COLOSSALNESS OF THE COLOSSALS justice, below are photos of Mommy Shorts readers who have won them in the past. That's Jake, Jack, Kendra and Katie (clockwise from left)β all with eyes that look like they are about to bust out of their heads.
I think it goes without saying that if you win today's giveaway, you must send me a picture.
Except, of course, if you are Chelsea's or Lucie's parents. God knows what those little heathens would do if a camera flash interrupted feeding time.

Ok, just so the mommies know, I made my 3.5 tell me which glare to vote for all this time. She was really terrified by some of them =D
Good Job…can I borrow the winner to scare my kid into paying attention to ballet class?
I vote something to do with messy food-eating…grossest baby?
I think you should do a fashion challenge. But maybe a Fashion DON’T page!!
Those huge cupcakes are GOOD. And almost more importantly, they look awesome.
Next contest…How about something polar opposite like Most Cherubic (Valentine’s Day)? Does that give you enough time to recover from this contest?
I like the messy food idea too. Although I’ll bow out of that. Most of my time is spend trying to keep them from making gross messes. π
Funny family holiday photos and Santa freak outs. Those always crack me up. Gives you about a month to recover too.
santa freak out would be good, although some people who don’t celebrate christmas may not be able to participate….
i think dance moves would be a good contest.
i can’t wait to see the results!
OH I love Lauren’s Fashion DONT! I have THE BEST OUTFIT EVER for it! LOL! Great Idea!!
Another good idea is kids and pets/animals. those are always good/nasty ass, creep you out gross.
Dancing contest!
I love the outfit idea. But, I would make it a contest for best outfit that the child chose themselves! I know my daughter has come up with some interesting ones!
Another idea: Best cry face ever. You know, when they look like you’ve killed their favorite teddy bear (Or their Colossal cupcake)!
Give me my cupcake! NOM.NOM.NOM.
How about a Epic tantrum contest?
Next contest? Anything that would allow me to use this pic
http://i.imgur.com/bZciL.jpg
It’s just sand that washed in there, but LOL!
that picture is HILARIOUS!
so because my son recently has turned to more girl things (including a pink winter coat and wanting a skirt), i just thought of another idea… best cross dresser outfit.
Such an exciting week this has been. May the most evil baby win!
A cross dressing contest. My son looks great in heels!
You’ve done the best gift given, so how about the Worst gift given? Or “The toy you wish had never entered this house”
Maybe wackiest hair contest…. or strongest baby (per Farrah)…or cool pics of your kids flying in the air (jumping off couch, etc)
Birthday cake smash photo contest!
Good luck to the finalists!
worst gift given, complete with re-gifting instructions. perfect for the upcoming holiday season!
That one is already in the works:)
I LOVE the fashion Dont idea!!! CAll it “Daddy dressed me”
Ha! Her face is priceless.
no Meg, you wouldnt want that… my son (the only boy amongst 4 big sisters) would totally kick ass. He has a pink butterfly blanky and will wear a pink tutu forever if i didnt hide it from him! LMAO!
i was thinking of that the other day, because I was pulling out all my kids 1yr old b-day & cake pics…. they make me laugh everytime!
I say Halloween costume contest. Cutest, scariest, most original. That kind of stuff. Caitlyn rocked the shit out of her hamburger costume last year.
I agree I like the Halloween costume contest!
By the way, those cupcakes look like they are to die for!!! YUM
I tell you won I would have a really good shot at, worst homemade birthday cakes, with extra points if the picture includes a horrified birthday girl/boy face. I don’t know why I continually subject myself and kids to these homemade monstrosities, but surely I can not be alone!
‘one’ – someone pass the coffee!
How about the most pissed off kid in a costume? Halloween is right around the corner…
bring it on! π
so the “daddy dressed me” idea got me thinking… how about worst “dad art”?! to go along with your husbands great talent for drawing π of course adults can fake some of this, so maybe not such a good idea…
Question: What exactly is your kid doing with animals that is so FREAKY???
On second thought, don’t tell me.
There’s a photographer that takes photos of kids crying. Like she intentionally makes kids cry to get the picture. Have you heard of of her?
That might be a caption contest contender.
Maybe a crossdressing showdown between just the two of you. Winner gets a hot pink boa and a pair of Suri’s toddler heels!
I have my entry. Video and everything. Wait. Am I allowed to enter?
I still haven’t seen the wagon picture. Although I love a good “feats of strength” contest. We can do it for Festivus!
My plan is to do it for Mazzy’s 2nd birthday- December 9th.
OBVIOUSLY!!!! It’ll have to be a short lived contest. Everyone enters their kids the week after Halloween and I pick the ten best on Friday- November 4th. Consider it done.
I love the idea of doing a “What Not to Wear: Baby Edition” contest.
I can do this as part of the promotional tour for Mike’s Masterpieces Coffeetable Book!
Should be coming to your city soon.
This has been a fun contest, but sure don’t agree with the nasty language in the baby questions. I usually share, but am ashamed to today.
I voted (and can’t wait until Monday).
But more importantly:
How was I not already on GFC here?
Sheesh.
Am I the only one this happens to? Or did you just add it? WHAT?!?
That.is.AMAZING. So sad and yet so hilarious all at the same time.
How about “most loved-to-death toy or blankie”? I’ve had a few kids in my family cling to their blankies long past the stage where they were nothing more than piles of yarn. π
I vote for crying face contest or Worst Gift/Toy…
How about a ‘craziest kid covering contest’ ? I don’t know if that’s the best name for it, but we can all share the wackiest things are kids have ever put on themselves, like marker all over the face, or baby powder head to toe. I know my daughter covered herself in vaseline once and she was water resistant for a week!!
Wierdest thing your kid has ever given you as a gift (gross, strange, unwanted, etc. π
I’m sorry- I know it’s a bit much. That’s why I added the caveat underneath for the parents of the kids in case anybody wanted me to take something down. Hope you’ll be back on Monday when everything will probably be a lot more Grammy friendly!
Funny pics such as kids that are old enough to eat a steak dinner but are breast feeding, kids that are 7 in strollers..6 year olds with pacfifiers tied to their clothes.. or a 6 year old with a backpack leash…I mean we could take pictures of kids doing these things and blue out the faces..something like people of walmart…
Most of my ideas have already been taken. I would vote for charismatic, cry face, fashion no-no’s baby edition (like..never let your diaper show above your pant line).
That cupcake was so damn good. π
I want another one now… ha!
Good luck to Chelsea and Lucie!
This has been THE BEST contest ever!!!
I had to email my mother and ask her if she had posted that comment herself. Haha. Absolutely something she would say. So don’t worry Grammy, you’re not the only one out there who feels that way. No offense to you whatsoever, but I still think the questions are hilarious π It’s been one of my favorite parts of this whole thing.
I’d really like to see how many actual people have voted in these rounds!
The Best Worst Birthday Party Picture
The Get Yo’ Freak On, Baby! Contest: Oddest picture wins all.
We’re Not Laughing At You (Oh, wait…yes we are) Contest: Most LOL-inducing Kid Picture
May The Best Caption Wins: We send in photos we caption ourselves.
Best photo to blackmail with later…
Most embarrassing photo…
or story, but the photo is proof. π
Along the lines of Larissa G – lamest toy, picture of baby/child “playing” with said lame toy. For example, my daughter loves to play with a washcloth, not by pretending to wash herself or a doll, but by laying it out flat over and over. I’ve heard of another little girl who likes to play with a soup ladle.
best baby photo caption!
I know there are websites out there that do this already, but I am always entertained by hearing stories/seeing photos of all the things that kids have ruined. Boy, do I have my fair share! I would love a contest to see just what other kids have ruined! π
I love this idea! We have our version of “The Pink Panther” from the time naptime turned into coloring time. EVERYHING on my son was markered pink…he was naked (use your imagination)…even the soles of his feet! I was scrubbing those pink footprints off the carpet for days!!
How about:
Silliest kid
Messiest kid
Costume fails
Kids & animals (kids torturing their pets)
I know it excludes some parents, but I think Santa freak-outs is a great idea! Or worst gift ever.
I, for one, think these questions are some of the funniest mother effing questions I’ve ever read! Snortingly good!
Thanks for a totally fun week of voting and reading!
I totally vote for messiest moment – food or not! I’ll have to dig out the poop covered pic.
That should win a contest! I am still laughing! Love it!
I like the crying ideas or upset faces looks because those are the most fun to look at of other kids. Also, might be fun to do cutest kid pic to be the yin to the evil baby contest’s yang.
My niece covered herself in butter once while my sister was breastfeeding her other child. She went around saying, “I’m shiny and smooth.”
How about a Boogie Down Baby contest? Best moves wins!
Do you ever sleep?
Because you looked pretty well rested when I saw you last, so I am thinking you take some pretty good drugs π
Next contest: best accidental obscene gesture caught on camera. My work here is done.
my son could do pretty well in a toddler cross-dressing contest. two big sisters. and a willingness to have his hair done.
I’d like to see a contest to find the tackiest/ugliest but yet loved child’s toy. Mazzy’s talking dolls might make the cut?
Oh darn, wish I’d known about this contest! I’d have entered this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/squeeekphoto/6216052756/in/photostream
Mmmm.. cupcake….
I like the fashion ideas and you could go many ways:
A) Best dressed (picked by child)
B) Worst dressed (picked by child)
C) Best Outfit Ruining (the havoc blueberries at lunch and drool created)
D) Most Creative Use of Accessories in an Outfit
E) Favorite Cross-dresser
haha i can get behind this one… i have an old shot of my little monkey noshing on some pureed prunes – its all over his face, but the best part is that because of the coloring it looks like he has some um… #2 all over his face haha
I did an entire slide show of crying Aliza for her first birthday party…set to the tune of “it’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to” …which means I pre-planned it and made sure to take pictures of her crying all year long to accomplish this.
The next contest should be to think of a good contest. Just kidding. Next contest: Best awww picture of baby with mom/dad/sibling/etc
what about ones where you should have grabbed your child first. Instead of grabbing the camera to capture this moment.
I keep voting for Chelsea just because they’re both scary, but those rainbow stickers add just the right amount of irony…
