Photo Details
This is believed to be a photo of my Grandfather, Roy Sherman Childers at age 2. His brother, Herman Lewis Childers says that in the early 1900's, they would dress little boys in dresses for pictures until they were around 3 years old. Roy was the son of Stephen Milford Childers and Effie Mae (Pettit) Childers. He was born April 10, 1918 in Diswood, Alexander County, Illinois and died January 08, 1988 in Edmond, Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. He married Beulah Mae Webster on April 13, 1940 in Jefferson City, Cole County, Missouri.
AncientFaces In the early 1900s young boys would wear dresses until around the age of 3. I didn't know that they did hair similar as well? Adorable photo of Roy Sherman Childers.
Patricia Cromwell This was my dad. It seems odd to me that they dressed little boys like that back in the 1920's, but I guess that's it. He sure was cute wasn't he? - Patricia L. Childers Cromwell

Ann Nottingham My father was born in 1917 and has a similar picture.
Valenchia Sundin Hershberger Any reason why they would do this?
Robyn McIntyre They didn't have modern fasteners and skirts made it easier to get to diapers and also for potty training.
Valenchia Sundin Hershberger I was just reading that! Thanks for responding.
Valenchia Sundin Hershberger Trying to be lazy by not looking it up myself. lol
Suzanne Black Katz In some places it was a superstition,to fool the evil spirits or bad fairies into thinking this was a girl child.
Paul Kraase A lot easier for diapers and potty training. In earlier days, young children simply wore a long shirt until they were potty-trained. Girls would then graduate to little dresses, and boys would be "britched-up".
Patty Hourihan Mayo Thanks I didn't know that
Cheryl LaSarre Gaddis OK--now I know (I think).
Cory Hiles Neat
Ginny Gardner Poe Why?
Bar C Ranch precious !
Robin Paull I'm curious about the reason. This anyone know?
Sue Hulett Babies were babies. There wasn't any point in distinguishing male and female babies by their clothing. There still isn't.
Janette Coles Blimey o'reiley Lol
Traci Delano I love these old photos ...I know they dressed boys in christening gowns and some frocks but I have never seen them adorn the boys hair with bows. I believe this is a girl.
Shelia Lyon I assure you, this is a boy and it is my Grandfather, who was born April 10, 1918. Two of his brothers, Herman and Bill are still living, and both stand firm on the fact that it is their brother, Roy. They say people dressed boys in girl attire back then, especially for pictures.

Gina Cerniglia bows? bummer lol... but feminine attire has come and gone for men throughout history. Renaissance = tights, frilly collars and heels.
Patricia Snodgrass Since there were only cloth diapers available during that period of time it makes sense to put both boys and girls in dresses. Not sure about the hair, tho. Maybe it was just the custom of the time. O.o
Nancy Murray Marxen I doubt that they had rubber pants… so the dress might of been mighty handy...
Robyn McIntyre Interesting. [external link]
Hazel Woodus Thanks for the information!
Sandy Hearn Thanks for sharing, I had suspected that the dresses for boys has something to with diapers, but did not know the facts. Now i do.
Dorothy P Heade Thanks for the info. I never knew or would have guessed.
Tamie Brueggemann Yes Thanks You. I showed this to my husband and this is what he said. I hate it when he is right. :)

Michael Guenther I think they wanted a girl.
Pam Hollaway Leonard That was crazy!
Nancy Dyche I always wondered if it wasn't easier to change diapers. Also, I read somewhere that many children back them "potty trained" themselves. I guess if I was a year old and had poop and pee running down my legs that might be incentive enough to figure it out! :)
Cindi Krell Sitte I knew about the dresses but the hair is new to me
Mark DeRycke Strange !!
Karen Meyer My grandpa, born in 1900 has a similar photo at age 2 or 3. Even the ribbons in his hair. He said he couldn't explain it but that it was the fashion.
DeLynn Rector My dad was born in 1935. I have a picture of him as a very young infant with a dress and bonnet. The bows in the hair in that pic strikes me as odd.
Lisa Harrington Thats insane!
Christopher Williams How interesting lol
Joni Hutton My dad was born in 1919 and, although I don't have any pictures, I do recall stories that were told about his beautiful long curly hair and how they dressed him as a girl!
Patrick Harlow I dont think this is a picture of a boy. A boy wouldn't have bows in his hair. this is a girl.
Dena Davies I find that quite disturbing, TBH, especially the ribbons in the hair!
Joy DeMatteis Hair part in middle for girl and on side for boy.
Rachael Rawson My dad was born in 1904! I have a pic of him in a dress with high button shoes and long blonde wavy hair when he was about 4! He said they then cut his hair and put pants on him at age 6.
Susan Vendikos Gill I think the answer that a baby was a baby is the best one. when my son, kristoffer was a baby , and he is only 30 now, he had the most beautiful ringlets. I let them grow and they looked like shirley temple's. My father entered his photo into an ad agency who used him for an advertisement for a baby gate. they said oh what an adorable little girl!!! They paid a lot of money so for that day, he was a girl. LOL
Cindy Hodgdon Great story!
Rod Warren Very odd!

Karen Wallace McGinnis The trick is to check the hair part girls were always parted in the middle baby boys to the side that's how they were told apart learned that at Franklin Plantation in TN
Robin Tully Flannery I have a picture of my grandfather you would swear it was a girl he was born in 1902
Dorothy Cordova Boys usually parted their hair on the sides and girls down the middle.
Melissa Marie Wells That's crazy.
Karen Wallace McGinnis And yes 2 reasons 1 a large portion of children didn't live past 5 so clothes were reused and it also comes from the old county they would disguise baby boys so invading army's wouldn't take them
Dorothy Cordova Karen Wallace McGinnis, we had a simultaneous thought!
Lisa Glines crazy parents...oddly i think it made them more appealing.like dolls
Susan L. Maddock My uncle who is in his late 80's had a picture taken like this. I think it had to do with potty training.
Tammy Silvey Myers My father in law was born in 1918 and we have several baby and toddler pics. Some in dresses but none with bows or ribbons! I don't think he would let me display any pictures of him in bows!!
Lynda Warner that's just [external link] dad was born in '26 and has a picture of him in what looks like a dress, but no bows....
Marty Morgan well i know back in the day some ppl believed either God or the devil would c ur boy child and take him also gypsy stories of stealin children any way it was a disguise
Debbie Goth That's a girl imo center part , big bows My dad was born in 1903 had pics of him in a dress as a toddler
Robin Tully Flannery My grandfather is in the middle ... He doesn't look very happy
Hazel Woodus Beautiful children
Belinda Smith He looks very pretty though lol, thanks for sharing you gave me a giggle.
Nancy Murray Marxen My father was born in 1915, never have seen any pictures of him in a dress, or ribbons in his hair.
Alejandra De Olivera wow hehe
Whitestring Eve Adorable!
Gisa Britz kkkkkkkkkkkkk Por que será????????? kkkkk
Lorraine Hill-Waters Very cute!
Mary Jane Perez Cornielle What a great picture. At least your grandpa was being true to his emotions, no sir, no fake smile here.

Peggy Ann Bruno Victorian boys were dressed very similar. To girls as toddlers(.even including long curls) not sure why.but c
Teresa Collins Smith [external link]
Peggy Ann Bruno Not sure why,but many children died before 5 (before wonder drugs) and were therefore cherished in pictures and tended to be fussed over and doted on in more affluent families.
Anna Faith Childers Roy Sherman Childers. This is the first time I've ever seen anyone else with my last name outside my family. Quite a happy moment. ^_^
Jill Delci I have a picture of my great-uncle (he was born in 1909)-same thing.
Betty Acosta Early cross dressing????
Shari Adams Cygan My grandfather was born in 1905 and had his photo taken in 1907. On the back is written "Child is still alive."
Kathy Barboza Why do you suppse they did this?
Patty Hourihan Mayo My Grandfather had long bologna curls...But was wearing nickers in the picture
Joan Brown That's a bit much. I get the dress, but not the bows.
Sharon Kay McNamara My dad was born in 1913, he had long curls. Actually, I still have them. Is that creepy? My kids think so.
Joey Mitchell I have also heard that in days past all children were called girls . The actual girls were called gae girls was the distinction .
Marie Hutchison Oh so sweet
April Browning I have a picture of my grandpa wearing a dress and he was born in the mid 20s
Joan Brown So if what people are saying...boys hair parted on the side and girls in the middle...then this is a girl!
Kathy Pinna I haven't seen the bows either (lots of boys in "dresses" - even my own grandfather!) but I hear that boys had bows/ribbons too!
Ken Marcewicz Had no idea
Ginny Young Kellum You see a lot of the paintings on the Antiques Roadshow from the 1800's that you can't tell if it's a girl or a boy... the appraiser the other night said the only way you could tell is by the accessories they have - girls usually had cats, rabbits & boys more masculine accessories.
Diane Deeney That isn't a boy they wouldn't have put bows in his hair.

Tina Hyatt @Anna Faith Childers. My name isn't too common either.. i heard recently that a legendary porn star had it also.. yay.. heheh ugh
Cheryl LaSarre Gaddis Why is that? My grandfather was born in 1893 and I have several photos of him during the first years of his life where he is dressed in a "dress".
Tommy Nichols You did this to me didn't you Lynda Warner
Kay Mcintyre what???
Stacey Rae Chamberlain My father in laws mother put him in dresses when he was small back in the 40s
Tamara Siddiqui Thought everyone wanted boys.
Jeanette Neese I never understood why...does anyone know?
Kelly Trim Diapers.
Rhonda Julian Bezjian That's very odd ....
Lisa Bagley Tarr Did not know this......I wonder how many of my little girl vintage photos are really little boys.....lol Oh well their still cute!!lol ♡
Paul Brumana Sr I have a pic of my Dad and his brothers in dresses, but no hairstyles like girls.
Linda Castle Eppinger Yep, it was easier to change the diapers
Linda Burtchell Boulette My late brother Wayne wore shoulder length blonde Curley hair until he was three then according to my older siblings my dad took him out one day and brought back another kid with short boy 's hair! All his sisters cried and begged Daddy to take this boy back and go get Wayne! Lol
Sharon Pryor I didn't know that ! How odd.
Ashley Hinz Hair bows for a boy?
Koni K. Keith-Fisher That has always seemed so odd to me
Lisa Hickman The boys also wore dresses well before the Civil War as well. The infant mortality rate was so high and those satin dresses were so expensive to make (the material had to be shipped in from Europe via China) that the dresses became gender neutral until it was obvious the little boy would survive. Living in the Deep South and touring dozens of homes, I've seen pictures of these many times.
Norma E Salazar I've seen pictures of my grandfather in 1908 and he's dressed like a boy in all of them. People are weird
Bonny Long I read that if the dress buttoned up the front it was most likely a boy. The girls dresses buttoned up the back. No idea why they did this.
Jeannette Webb-Heimlich yes boys had long hair
Rachel Perez Burkart Why did they wear dresses?
Marina Adame :/
Elizabeth Mc Allister On obvious idea that strikes me is diapers/potty training. MUCH easier in a dress then in pants. Also, much easier to 'pass down' a gender neutral item of clothing.
Chris Simpson you have it exactly right.mum put a dress on me 63 years ago
Janet Bursott We wonder why we currently have gender confused people!!!!
Mary Crestani Silantyev How awful I can't understand why? Little boys look like boys today.
Darlen CootsTank Makes a cute little girl
Tery Foale Leavell Too weird! I bet they got tired of saying"he's a boy,he's a boy..........!!!"
Linda Beron this is a boy???
Leslie Anne Meyer You guys seem to think that fashion remains static from century to century.
Laurie Loy Foreman My grandpa was born in 1893 and has a picture like this. He had banana curls. He did not look very happy either in the picture.
Margarita Boyer lovely
Dianne Boomer And sometimes they wore pink, which back then was called "light red".
Scarlett Cross My dad was born in 1921 and wore a similar outfit.
Karen Floyd Originally pink was for boys (as it was considered the colour of strength) and blue was for girls. Amazing how things change.
Nancy Murray Marxen I know that when we got new bikes, my brother's bike was red, and we girls got blue bikes…
Debbie Brown Funny how. Old movies don't show little boys in dresses
Sophie Maisonneuve Dresses are NOT for boys!!!
Debbie Brown I think my Mom has picture of my pampaw in a looks like christening Gown. But i dont remember him having any hair ribbons..
Ellen Payne Whitley My dad, born in 1914, has a similar picture but absolutely no ribbons. That does seem odd. And, boys' hair was parted on the side even if long. He said that you weren't a man until you outgrew your "short pants " which were knickers!
Melissa Covey Is it just me Carly or does this kid look like Scout?♥
Robin Santistevan ♥
Marie Nicholas ❤💋
Rickie McAuley I didn't realize this
Joy Lockett .... and the story goes that they soon realised that boys, even little boys, needed some restraint - hence trousers were born!!!! Imagine boys in the high school/college classrooms with skirts on - look out girls!!! (or under). T/hee.
Nancy Murray Marxen Kilts
Joy Lockett Yes Nancy - gotta watch those Scots.
Sherry Black I knew they wore them as babies but not like this.
Carly Lemieux Melissa - i totally see it!
Alexandra Sweatt Odd, that some people don't know this! This was the norm. It wasn't horrifying for them.
Lorine Montez I know! They wore them until they were 100% potty trained! It's amazing!!! Idk what's up with his hair tho?!
Iva A. Green I never knew about the hair either. I have old photos of my dad as well as my brothers in dresses. They didn't have all that much hair in their pictures.
Alex Espinoza Say whaaaaat??
Joan Langston Parrett Clothes like a girl r maybe ok, but the bows in the hair style of a girl? Poor boy(s)...
Shannon Taylor Bird None of my male ancestors had their hair done like this in their pictures. Dresses yes, no bows. Are you sure the picture isn't mislabeled?
Donna Carano-Cooper Why?
Barbara Hall Converse I have never seen the hair done n a girl's style
Nicollette Vaughn Rain Vogel. This reminds me of something you would like
Donna Biichle Gondek Why?
Marie Ballard-Anders This is one of the strangest customs I have ever heard about. I do know it is true, however. A friend of ours has a photo of her Grandfather displayed. He was probably ten. He died a few years ago, past the age of ninety. Although he is wearing a little suit, there are quite a bit of ruffles on his shirt. The most interesting thing, is his hair. It is at his shoulders and is fixed in perfect long coils. 😊
Alisa Lisa Farrell McCombs and yet these young boys dressed as girls became real men - something that so many boys struggle with today....
Mary Lefor thank god I saw this, my dad was born in 1917 and was also in a dress, anyone have the answer?
Barbara Morgan Are you sure that is a boy? I have seen pictures of boys with long hair and the dresses until 3 but never with ribbons in their hair
Shari McElhaney Telek There was a picture of my grandmother holding my dad as a baby on her lap. He was in a dress!
Carmen Quinley Naquin Omg...SO WRONG
Amy S. Petrik This is how Ted Bundy was dressed too and how he grew up to murder so many women. Sad.
Lyn Smith Sager Just imagine what OUR descendants are going to say about our clothes & customs 100-125 years from now. We will look just as strange to them as our ancestors look to us. Clothing & customs are constantly changing; sometimes they come back into style!
Christy Roberts They weren't dressed 'as girls', they were dressed as babies and toddlers in a nod to the asexuality of children. The first milestone was 'shortening' the dress so that the baby could crawl freely, the second was putting a boy in pants. It was nothing to do with cross dressing or gender dysphoria or anything like that. And I would say it came about with passing down clothing when clothing was harder to come by - why not put all te babies in the same clothes?
Sherry Brose I never knew that.
Cathey Watkins My father was born in 1925, have pictures of him with long hair. But no bows!
Sue Beck Esopo This article mentions the use of hair bows by boys.http://[external link]
Dawn MacTaggart My father was born in 1901 and boys wore dresses and long curls until they were about 5. There was a picture that hung in my home until after my parents were both gone that showed Dad and his brother just younger than he in dresses and Dad had long black [external link] uncle had a "dutch bob". Dad was about 5 at the time the picture was taken.
Opal Rae Waters What the hell where people thinking???
Yanna Spetseri Kafkala My dad . Greece 1919
Lauren Tohill Woody We have one! We used to hang it over our electrical box and when friends came over we'd wave our EMF detector over it and tell them it was haunted. Feel free to steal that idea - endless fun.
Janet Gooden What the what??? What would have been the reasoning behind this??? A Mom who'd wanted a Girl???
Debbie Verrette I was told the reason they wore dresses till then was because they wore them till they were potty trained
Kazza Tuckenheimer Children are so gender assigned now- pink for girls, blue for boys. In the 1900's pink was a male colour. Lots of things change over time. Look at the old adage "spare the rod and spoil the child". Soon hitting children will be totally unacceptable, but when I was growing up, we all got a decent spanking. In my fathers time, they got a caning, his father was flogged. Things change.
Mark Jones Was your grandpa gay?, dont't worry bout it, that was 100 yrs ago,BUT our parents worry bout US being Gay?
Evelyn Jepson actually have a photo of my dad...and I always thought it was a girl in the shot...when I asked my dad...he said that's me...I was like that up until I went to [external link] 5.....ooops....
Laurette Modrakowski Must have been somekind of punishment - embarrass the child into using the potty !
Fabrizio Diana In Scotland men still wear dresses til death ;o)
Deb Pickens My grandfather wore the dress and 'sausage curls' in his hair at a young age.but I do NOT remember ribbons in his hair..Maybe that was the difference in being able to tell gender at that age?
Kym Beach When we went on a tour of William Shakespeare's birthplace, they said that all babies then were dressed as girls in the hopes that the evil spirits would pass by thinking they were girls. Male infants have always had a higher mortality rate, and at the time, they thought it was because of the spirits...
Majella Young Kym I could believe this theory
Cheryl Mcmanus I remember when I was about 7, we had a little boy who was dressed as a girl and sent to school that way. Just wrong!, Did not realize the hair was done that way too.
Carol Osborne Yep. Happened in multiple cultures...probably still does. Have known 2 friends in Mexico that were subjected (for lack of a better term) to this as children in the 1950s. In that culture, it was often done as a "thank you" for sparing a child or perhaps another family member. Looked upon with great reverence as well.
Angela McElwain Okay, the riboons in his hair is bit much.
Coral Grant Creepy
Susan Cummins I have pictures of my Dad like this !
Farrell Fox They did wear dresses, some of my elderly relatives got very upset over one photograph, denying it was him completely, interpreting it as a statement and attack on his masculinity.
Crystal Marie My son now 17 months, no haircut, full end curls, no dresses or bows, but people in public stop me to compliment how pretty "she" is.....that's disturbing
Crystal Marie Someone made a good point
To keep the priests away....

Annette Mathewson It wasn't a dress as such it was a smock. Easier for toilet training than pants. Never seen a boy ever with hair done as a girl tho
Hayden McCamley Shannon My great grandfather around 1902
Dolores Hettel Bartlett Imagine that???
Melissa D. Matt I'm finding this comment thread fascinating! I've heard about the potty training reason but the carryover tradition about evil spirits is convincing. Look at the tradition (still being done in the early 20th century) of putting used children's shoes in the walls of houses when being built; this originates from ancient child sacrifice.
Kate N Mike Baltes I had heard boys wore pink or a washed out red.
Susanne Zimmer Basque If you would do that now a days, you would be on Dr. Phil!! In fact , there was an episode about a couple who let their young son dress in whatever he wanted including skirts and such!
Susan Estes Cute little guy!
Cindy Drijfhout Triest .
Annette Jackson I never have understood why people did this...any particular reason ever found?
Nancy Osborn I have an old photo of my dad in a dress when he was very little.
Mallory Cook somewhere around (I guess my cousins have it) there is a pic of my grandfather Guy Harvey Mallory b. 1891 in Admire, Allen Co., Ks. in a dress and long locks
Zoë J Molloy Poor little lad!
Janet Shepherd Holey No wonder men are confused...
Dorothy P Heade I have all my mother's family's pictures and at least a dozen look just like this. I think there was only one chair and all the photographer passed it around.
Angie Coote That is a girl
They never used bows on boys...
They never used bows on boys...
Debra Ruffing There is a difference in hair...I remember from Smithsonian in DC.
Sylvia Maltzman Depending on the culture, some people would try to hide the fact that they had a boy from the evil spirits (and the evil humans) who were more interested in stealing male children than female children. This is more common in societies with a very high infant mortality rate.

Filipe Medeiros That's amazing. I always considered that kind of old world religion - I often forget that a lot of that carried over to the US.
Sylvia Maltzman You might be surprised to find how much superstition was mixed into daily life. When I was a Pagan, I learned about Celtic beliefs. Some Catholics in Ireland even today incorporate Celtic magical traditions into Catholic life. There's a blessing over the hearth fire which invokes Brigit to the front of the hearth and Mother Mary to the back of it. I guess that's to protect the house from burning down from sparks going either way. Not sure.
Filipe Medeiros I was raised Catholic and I know there's a TON of Pagan/Celtic beliefs that were co-opted by the religion. Good point!

the property you are looking at is part of the public records as as old property and is not currently showing on any website or avenue that we as Realtors have access to showing that this property si available for rent or lease to own. it does not mean that it is not; but that the person, if it is, has not marketed it with a Realtor in the Charlotte area.
I would do a little more diligence and go to the house and ask to see inside if this is being marketed as a rent to own property and verify that the person can actually sell it and you are nto being scammed.

Welcome to our perfect location to enjoy an escape from the cares and woes of your 'other' life. Our casita is perfect for your vacation retreat no matter what the season, with central heat and air conditioning to make you comfortable.
Located in friendly Green Valley, AZ, a senior adult community, it is a short (2 blocks or less) walk from our casita to the Continental Mall for shopping and dining, or to the resident and tenant only Pool and Spa, or to the Tennis Courts and West Center for fitness and general recreation.
Step out your door to a beautifully maintained central patio to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening cocktail. The patio is an ideal place to meet your neighbors and compare notes about available trips and attractions.
Don't forget your golf clubs! Green Valley has 8 golf courses; 6 public and 2 private, all within a few minutes drive. You are surrounded by spectacular mountains as well as the plants and animals unique to the Sonoran Desert.
Our one bedroom, one bath unit has been recently decorated throughout. January, 2013, is our first offering for this delightful rental unit. The carpeted bedroom includes a queen bed, a double chest of drawers, bed tables with lamps, a television, a six foot closet with fully mirrored doors, a ceiling fan and a whisper-quiet heat/air-conditioner with a thermostat control just for the bedroom. The living room, kitchen and dining area has a second heat/air unit with its own thermostat.
The carpeted living room is furnished with a full-size couch, tables, lamps, chairs, a flat screen television connected to cable and a high-speed wireless internet connection for your computer.
The kitchen features a refrigerator with ice-maker, dishwasher, flat surface range and oven, all new cabinets and a microwave oven. Dishes, glassware, silverware, cooking utensils, pots and pans, coffee maker and toaster are all provided.
The dining area has a glass-topped table and four comfortable, padded chairs all with a view of the patio outside.
The bathroom features a full-length tub with shower, a sink, toilet and storage cabinets. All towels and linens for bath, bedroom and kitchen are provided. There is also a (free) washer/dryer unit included in this Casita for your convenience.
The tiled porch/entrance way features a lockable screened security door if you should wish to leave the door open for fresh air. Our Casita has 4 skylights added to provide a bright, cheery atmosphere while maintaining complete privacy.
We believe you will agree that this is one of the nicest Casitas in the entire complex.
We are Ron and Judy. We have lived in the Green Valley area for more than 10 years and we love this part of the country. We live only a few minutes drive from this Casita.
Owner/Property Manager purchased this apartment in 2012
It is close to our home so it makes it convenient to show and maintain. It is also close to shopping, dining, golf, swimming, tennis and gorgeous scenery.
The Continental Mall is a short walk or drive from the Casita and offers a Safeway, a CVS Drugstore, dining and many other desirable shops.
6 public and 2 private golf courses are located within a few minutes drive,
Outstanding birding activities abound in Madera Canyon, minutes from Green Valley.
Tubac, a well known artist colony and historic site is about 20 minutes South on I-19. Tubac offers unique shopping for many craft and artistic items.
Absolutely the perfect vacation stay! Beautiful casita was truly decorated with love. Pool was a treat and so close. Definitely would love to return to Green Valley when the snow flies again here. Thank you Judy and Ron for sharing your home. We loved every moment.
This is a great place too stay. Green Valley has a lot to offer for everyone, ie, golfing, sightseeing, bird watching, shopping etc. Ron & Judy are great people to deal with, and are always willing to give you information on the area. Would definitely recommend Green Valley area. The casita is very bright, clean and with everything you need for a home away from home.

I've written, and rewritten, this blog post in my head the past two months and, now that the time is here to announce our news, I don't have the perfect post yet.
So…I'm just going to write it.
Arment Dietrich is no longer a PR firm.
Yes, I'm serious. We are no longer a PR firm.
So what happened? Well, a few things (including the economy), but the two big game changers were:
1. We had nearly half of our clients tell me at some point that they missed working with me on very strategic projects; and
2. I wasn't enjoying my job anymore – the reason I started my own business was to do PR the way I thought it should be done and, instead, I was sucked into running a business and no longer doing what I loved.
I did some soul searching. What is it I love to do? Why do I get out of bed and come to work every day? The answers surprised me.
I love to write. I love to speak. And I love working with clients. Other than blog writing, I wasn't doing any of those things.
So, in September, I began to test the waters. The speaking and working with clients starting picking up and, almost overnight, I was doing what I loved to do. And, through my speaking came writing inspiration and the ability to work with clients every day. But I didn't have a business that supported this model.
It won't come as a surprise to you, if you read this blog, that I've been solely focused on social media for the past 18 months. And it's turning into something we can build a business around
As of today, Arment Dietrich allows me to write (with the goal of being published in the next 12 months), but it also allows us to build a business around speaking and coaching. Our focus is a bit different than most – we understand how online communication affects growth to the bottom line and we've created a process around how to make that happen for our clients. We now work with executives to incorporate online communication (right now it's social media, but that will evolve) into their companies in order to: Build their communities, generate leads, cultivate those leads, and then convert those leads into sales/customers/clients for business growth.
Will we do some traditional PR as part of a bigger, overall plan? Sure. But if the majority of your program isn't focused on digital communication, we're not the right company for you. In most cases, we won't do your online communication for you; we'll help you incorporate it into your business so you eventually fly on your own.
Courtney Lawrence and Molli Megasko are here to help build this new business model. And, of course, we couldn't do any of it without Patti Knight. Everyone else, though, has moved on to PR positions where they don't have to change careers.
We are communicators, innovators, and thought leaders. Now we can officially claim our expertise goes beyond PR. But how do we encompass that into one quick answer when someone asks "What do you do?"
How would you answer that question if you were us?

How would I answer that question if I were you? Easy.
"I'm Gini Dietrich, I rock the party."
I might add a "y'all" cause I'm from the South, but that's up to you.
Arment Dietrich now has a laser-tuned focus on the area of expertise where many companies need the most help: optimizing their messaging through digital media.
Congratulations Gini! That sounds exciting and brave. And really smart. When you're an entrepreneur, I think it's important to follow your passions – the things you're amazing at and also like to do. I am sure you'll have wonderful success in this new endeavour and a lot of your PR colleagues will be watching to see how you do it. All the best with it!!
And I think you answered your own question when you called yourselves communicators, innovators and thought leaders. You're creating a new practice.
Congratulations! The most important part is getting out of bed to do what you love. Very inspiring.
Holy crap! I am so excited for you. What a great way to start the new year. And I'm with Jeff on the "what do you do" answer.
You go girl.
Sounds like you are a Communications firm, what ever that may be – right now it is online…best of luck -…though I think you may need a Houston branch office.
Gini —
Congratulations and best wishes. I connect with so much of what you say, though possibly for slightly different reasons. I no longer believe that the term "public relations" aptly covers what strategic communicators need to deliver to their clients today. But, I'm struggling to figure out if we (as an agency) need to change — or if the industry needs to broaden its understanding of how all the communications pistons now fire together. Still pondering that.
In the meantime, I eagerly await what you settle on as the response to: What does Arment Dietrich do?
I like how Jeff put it, with possibly a slight change: "increasing and optimizing engagement through online communication." I feel like there's more to it than just messaging . . . it's more of a cultivating exercise.
Good luck to you, my friend. I know you'll succeed.
Online voice coach?! Guru?! Consigliere?
Congrats, Daddyo! However you describe it, seems like you might need doses of description, benefit and your winning personality. Enjoy the ride.
Congrats to you, Gini, for following your heart and doing what makes you happy. Please let me know how I can help. Okay, help BESIDES hiring you. 😉
At Start-Thinking we describe what we do as creative communications. I think the ad agency and PR firm concepts are dead– not dying, but DEAD. Congrats to you for having the chutzpah to shake things up and go against the grain by moving forward in the direction that suits the talents of your team. Without that kind of spirit, one risks atrophy.
This is amazing news and we know you will rock da house since what you bring is true value and so authentic that client would learn a lot from how you can establish maximum engagement. I just love to say the words "maximum engagement." Coming soon to theatres: Arment Dietrich in "Maximum Engagement."
A very savvy and smart move. We wish you the best. Your v5 Family!
Congratulations Gini! I love to see people following their passion, going out on a limb and doing what's necessary to make it happen. Bravo!
Although few are ready to admit it, I'm sure that your sentiments are shared by many in the industry. It's been tough in the past year for PR agency owners to find ourselves in the position of executing old-school campaigns because that's what some clients want and are willing to pay for, even though we know deep down that a massive change is underway.
Looking forward to hearing your updates.
Well, I will say it again. You do inspire me. Love that you are focusing more on what you most love doing. Good luck, & I will be cheering you on all the way.

This post was mentioned on Twitter by timjahn: I'm super excited for @GiniDietrich and all of Arment Dietrich as they shift into an exciting new biz model! http://bit.ly/7cczqW…
"We help businesses successfully and profitably engage with their customers."
I am proud of you, and it totally makes sense. The writing was on the wall. At least, you were smart enough to recognize instead of being stuck. Proud of you, and have a rockin year.
Best of luck to you Gini 10K!
And to think I sat here for two hours scared to hit the publish button! I'm certain we'll have some naysayers, but thank you to all of you for your comments and support! Here we go!!
I think that you've made a great decision that will pay off handsomely in the future!! Your strengths (in my mind) are writing, teaching and public speaking. This new format uses your strengths to build your company. Congratulations!
Congratulations on your evolution, Gini and gang!
To sum up/describe your work: I'd say you are connectors (extraordinaire, of course).
Congrats on the new adventure! The best thing about having your own business is that you can control and shift your focus on what you want. Do what you love and the rest will follow.
I have to echo Doug's comment. You've moved from the red ocean (PR) to the blue ocean of online strategy and communications. Well done! What your prospects (read "future clients" need to know is what's in it for them, and how does it make them more successful and their life easier.
Can't wait to see what this new chapter brings.
Gini, I've had a lot of similar thoughts about my business. So proud of you for having the guts to overhaul your business and follow your passion. Can't wait to watch this unfold!
Gini – as long as you are in your happy place the rest should follow.
I agree that the umbrella Communications probably covers it but whatever you do don't use the term Social Media expert. The term is so overused and what you are and what you do go so far beyond that!
Congratulations! That's a huge and exciting step in such a positive direction. You may be waiting for the first "naysayer" to publish a comment, but I don't see it happening. This is where everything is going and you're leaps and bounds ahead. Keep on rocking and I look forward to your global domination soon. As for a company description….I'll get back to you.
Congratulations Gini. You are living what I tell my kids all of the time: life is way too short, find something that you are passionate about and excel at it. Your blog and Twitter updates have been helpful to me as I try to figure this whole social media thing out, I have no doubt that you and your firm will be widly successful as you move down this (sort of) new path.
Congratulations, Gini! I am going through some of the same contemplateion: what is it I do? So Martin Hall is on hiatus while I help out Joint Commission Resources for a while…
Love the blog. You will continue to do great work, as always.
Congratulations on your exciting new journey. How very cool that you have been in tune enough with the marketplace to "hear" what they are screaming for help with (social media strategies, for one). I hope this new direction allows you to do more of what you love – because that's what's it's all about anyway!
Phyllis Neill
Great post, Gini. Really appreciate how candid you are about following your heart while still being true to the mission of the company.
Can't wait to see where you go from here!
Go, Gini, go!!!
We are in the business of cultivating online communication for bottom line growth.
I would answer, "We communicate and we show others how to do so, authentically, effectively and without being confined to a single medium or paradigm."
PS. Is the new Arment Dietrich hiring? 🙂
Two words:
Congratulations Gini!
You've obviously put alot of time and thought into this decision and I admire you for realizing what you want to do and changing course. To me it sounds like an exciting and promising road to be on!
Good Luck!!
I know EXACTLY where you are with this, as I did a very similar switch a few years ago. It was painful, scary, and uber queasy- for awhile. But now, I am in my zone, following my bliss.
Janis Joplin said, mistakenly, imho, that 'Freedom's just another word for nothing else to loose.' She's wrong, in as much as freedom really comes from doing the kind of work you love to do. With the people you love doing it with.
And dat's what we wish for you. You can do this, your way.
Our best to Mr. Arment.
Nice move. A great way to lead in the New Year – and let go of the baggage that keeps us all taking care of the things we have acquired instead of the things we care most about. I look forward to continuing to read about what you have to say!
WOW!! I can't believe it took you such a long time to "push the publish button." Congratulations on following YOUR heart, Gini. Doesn't it feel great?? (now, if only you could incorporate cooking into the mix…LoL)
YOU are definitely awesometastic!!:-)
This will be fun to watch. Congratulations.
Smart smart smart.
Perhaps your headline could read "no longer JUST a PR firm"…
I would say, you're social media strategists who focus on results. Such big changes can be tumultuous and exciting at the same time. One thing is for sure—you'll never regret going after what you love and are most passionate about. All the best to you!
I'm Ron Burgundy? lol. This is SMART. Congratulations to you and Arment Dietrich! Cheers to what 2010 will bring. How thrilling for you. Looking forward to seeing what you will accomplish, and as always, looking forward to continued awesome posts.
Hi Gini – That was the best post I have read in a log time, if I didn't know it was you, I would think it was me.We should connect when I am in Chicago or you are in Florida, but in the meantime, let's rock the online world together.
Lots of power to you!
Interesting post by @ginidietrich on why she's changed what her PR firm Arment Dietrich does – I like her style http://tinyurl.com/y8aqt6a
Love it! Sounds like you are finding your passion and following it!
Best wishes in 2010. When you are doing what you enjoy, good things happen. 🙂
I feel like I'm the last to respond but not the last to know. As a client for the last two years I saw this coming and of course we discussed. Your skills and guidance set COMPUTER EXPLORERS and ME in the right direction using social media. I have always enjoyed working with your team but missed working directly with you! What you do you do exceptionally well. Keep it up and I look forward to another two years +
