Metal Babies

Metal-Head Tykes -- Cool looks for the rock 'n' drool set: Aidin Vaziri | On top of being bald and drooling uncontrollably, they can't smoke, get tattoos or even hang out in bars. So what chance do babies have of ever looking cool? Mark DeVito has the answer. Having designed concert tees for the past 20 years for the likes of Metallica, Aerosmith and the Rolling Stones, the lifelong metal-head and his wife sprang into action when they became parents three years ago. Faced with the prospect of either dressing their son Aidan in onesies covered with pink ducks and yellow horseshoes or shelling out upward of $50 for trendy infant gear, DeVito, 39, chose instead to downsize his own designs. His mantra was simple: "I don't want my kid to look like an Easter egg." Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" album cover is reinvented as Maternica's "Spill 'Em All," with a baby bottle replacing the bloody sledgehammer. Motley Crue's "Shout at the Devil" becomes Naughty You "Shout at Your Mama." The AC/DC logo now reads BA/BY. "Sleep deprivation is a great creative tool," says DeVito
