I discover the Skelanimals

At Target stores, they are featuring these cutie Skelanimals. The copyright says 2008, I guess they have been around for a while. There is clothing and stuff animals. Art Impressions' site says that their demo is pre-teens, collectors, Girls 6-13 and chridren ages 4-6. The Keep the Party Alive - EP is an EP by the Rock/Crunk band Family Force 5 that is exclusive to the store Target to promote the Halloween merchandise for Skelanimals. This EP was announced on the band's MySpace and by their premium fan club on September 9th which included a CGI promo video with the band's song "Keep the Party Alive" playing during it. What is disturbing is their stories on how they became Skelanimals.

Sample poem:
Kit had a head bigger than her body.
The laughs she endured rang all through the lobby.
Looking at the pool she would see her reflection.
Wishful thinking for her water friend connection.
She slipped and fell as she looked nearer.
No more laughter and jokes would she hearrr….

Aqua's "Barbie Girl" song used for actual Barbie commercials

Back when the "Barbie Girl" song came out by Aqua in the late 90's, Mattel was mad and sued them, but Aqua won. The song said stuff like "undress me everywhere" and "plastic bimbo girl." So now Mattel is using their own version of the song for their commercials and also for the Pink Ticket contest promos. They only use the parts that say "come on Barbie, let's go party" and they change the lyrics to match with the Pink Ticket stuff. It turns out that it was no fluke. Barbie Senior Vice President of Marketing, Stephanie Cota says. “Yes, there’s an interesting history with Mattel and Aqua. But one of the things that’s great about Barbie is that she’s had 50 years to figure herself out. ” The song “is such the epitome of Barbie. It’s a fun, kicky upbeat song,” she added. “We’ve re-written the lyrics ever so slightly. There’s a bit of girl empowerment that gets infused in there.”

Project Runway Season Six Episode Nine review

The challenge was to make a Bob Mackey-inspired dress with glitz and glam for Christina Aguilera on stage. Carol Hannah was a surprise, I liked her dress, she was not crazy about it, because she is not used to glitz and glamor. Irina was a total bitch about Carol Hannah, and Nicholas, who is also a bitch, said on the show that Irina is a great designer but a bitch. It's ironic since Nicholas poo poos on other people. It was so funny that Irina was just excused and passed, she was neither on the bottom nor on the top. Hilarious! Gordana had immunity and had a break down and was told by Heidi Klum that she would had been eliminated. Tim Gunn was totally harsh on them all and I liked what he said to Nicholas, that his dress was a clone of his winning Ice Queen dress and he did change it enough and the gang didn't notice it. They liked his dress, I hate that it was white.

I wish Logan ran with his dress, Logan has been safe and has been in the bottom and I can now literally say he has skimmed by before because he is handsome. Christopher... third time you are out!!! Come on, what is happening? First with a pumpkin dress, then the trash bag and now, this weird "The Littles" dress with giant buttons. Very tasteless. Christopher takes this stuff way too personal. If he did mention that he was in the bottom twice, so then the editor didn't put it in and I think we needed it, to know at least he was acknowledging this in his design process but it seems he didn't. He just kept going with his blinders on and having no formal fashion education is not an excuse. And Judge Nina hasn't been on the show a lot and it surprises me she knows who the designers are and what they did if she has been absent. Please, we want Nina and Kohrs back next season all season! But it was great having Bob Mackey and Christina as judges, they have so much to add and say.

And like last week, I didn't like Heidi's look this week. Last week she looked like a nurse in scrubs, this week she looked like Up-tight Corporate Bitch Barbie. Anyway, the winner was Carol Hannah (well deserved!!!)--I kind of knew she was gonna win since they focused more on her and her flirting with Logan in this episode and the kicked out one was Shirin. Shirin's fashions have been declining since a few episodes ago, I can't pin point it. But now for sure, we can tell who more or less will be the top three (more or less)... For sure Althea and Carol Hannah or Irina, with maybe either Nicholas or Christopher, it's hard to tell, they can fall either way. For sure, Gordana and Logan may be out soon. And like I said, with Christopher, he could be out as easily as that. Hey, the final 3 may be all women like last year! Who knows?

Park and Recreation Episode Five Review

"Sister City"
The episode with Fred Armisen, I wish I recorded it or could access NBC.com but I am having problems with my flash, but the spanish they spoke and the subtitles did not correspond. To clarify, they said something different than what it said in the subtitles. They matched most of the time, but I think they changed last minute the audio.
