Babytalk: The Primates of Park Avenue

Imagine a world where competitive parenting is ramped up to the level of an Olympic sport, where there's no sneaking the kids to school in a pair of battered leggings that you haven't changed since your early morning yoga class.. we're talking about a world where a full hair salon appointment needs to be timed with contractions so you look good in the 'birth photographs'! No you have not wandered accidentally into some re-run of Dallas or a bizarre 'Real Housewives' event.. this is the world author and anthropologist Wednesday Martin found herself in when she moved to the wilds of Park Avenue, New York.
