Oh no they didn’t! Oh yes, indeed, they did. Advertising Barbie and Ken are here!
Now you too, ladies and gay gents, can take home your very own Don Draper, Roger Sterling, Joan Holloway and Betty Draper from Mattel.
From Oprah, to Jeopardy, to Saturday Night Live to a Simpson’s spoof — it’s all about advertising in the 1960s.
Releasing later in 2010, the dolls are part of Mattel’s Barbie Fashion Model Collection and will retail for approximately $74.95 USD each. Considered premium-price collector’s dolls, they are in the same company as the more…
Last week the BBC announced last week it’s plans to close Music 6 and the Asian Network as part of it’s strategy to save money. The plan, you can read it here (or the .pdf files here and here), detail
what the future direction of the corporation ought to be.
“No te vayas, no te vayas
Oye negrita mira, no te rajes
De lunes a viernes tienes mi amor
Déjame el sábado a mi que es mejor
Oye mi negra no me castigues más
Porque allá afuera sin ti no tengo paz
Yo solo soy un hombre muy arrepentido Soy como el ave que vuelve a su nido
Yo se que no he sido un santo
Es que no estoy echo de carton”
Just a little something that reminds me of home *sniffles*
Saw in concert about three times and love, love, love mi chica bonita more…
It’s no secret that I was on a job hunt, nor is it a secret that I was hired and am I’m happily employed, working for a company I’ve always wanted to be apart of.
But the road wasn’t easy and sometimes the people who are in, what we think, are the best positions to help us, can’t really be of service.
Sometimes, there just aren’t jobs available.
If there is anything that I’ve learned throughout my search, it’s that helping a job-seeker out isn’t limited to just helping the seeker find a job. There is so much more a ‘helper’ can more…
A few weeks ago, an e-mail popped up in my inbox with a proposal to review this book for submission. It wasn’t an uncommon occurrence, but it has been a while since we at the LPB have accepted a submission for review. As you readers probably already know, there have been all sorts of changes going on for Sasha. I’ve been unusually quiet here for similar reasons. Writing my own book, finishing a book that I was hired to write, consulting, and being a mom has left me with little time to read – or at least to read as much as usual. I’ve been re-reading favorites so that I wouldn’t be annoyed with the interruptions. I’m the type that likes to sit down and devour a book, so having to stop in the midst of my savoring the text annoys the living daylights out of me.
In case you missed it, Disney released an image for their new film Rapunzel set to arrive in November 2010 and a video leaked from the film. Actually, the film is set to be called Tangled. But that might change, considering before it was called Rapunzel: Unbraided.
Of course I have some random food for thought more…
One advertisement, one image and a ton to talk about.
I know I’m a bit late discussing this, but I just had to eventually because it’s got so many things going on around it: I’m talking about the 2010 Pam and Tim Tebow advertisement for Focus on the Family that was aired during the Super Bowl more…
When I decide that relocating was what I wanted to do, I narrowed down my choices of cities to places where I had a support system aka family or very close friends in that area I could count on.
It’s easier that way.
When I say that “I could count on,” I mean people who take you apartment hunting, drive/walk around with you, pop open a map and show you where things are, people who will sit down with you and educate you about your new city as a local etc.
“Something with a little more edge and a little more pain.”
Not going to lie, I was definitely on Team Dixie Chicks during their whole feud with Toby Keith based on personal preferences etc. I loathe and utterly despise “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue.”
But I do love me some real Southern, gritty and awesomeness that is the rest of the music of Mr. Keith! Plus, his videos remind me of good ‘ole Southern living.
