Tuesday, March 9th, 2010So, we’re all like, adults and stuff. But that doesn’t mean we can’t take a step back and give our childhoods a big hug. Isn’t that what nostalgia is all about? Anyway, whether you prefer the form of a Care Bear or a Game Boy, the world is ready to deliver to you. I happen [...]
Voltron – The Coolest Little Girl In The World
Friday, March 5th, 2010Huh. Those are some interesting slippers. They look kind of big for a little girl though. Anyway…
Oh hey, look at that. She’s so cute and happy. But it looks like she’s in mid-transformation or something.
Holy shit! She’s Voltron!
And you thought little girls were made of spice and everything nice. Apparently we need to start adding [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Banana Design Lab Snugglies
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Like any convention, Toy Fair was pretty exhausting and it didn’t help that we had lunch 5 hours after I was ready to start stuffing my face. But as I nearly fell asleep, wandering the aisles of crazy people with toys, I stumbled upon the Banana Design Lab booth where I finally got to give [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Brinca Dada’s Emerson House
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the most gorgeous doll house I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes upon, Brinca Dada’s Emerson House. Now I understand modern architecture isn’t for everyone, but I happen to be fans of its fans. What can I say? I’m a modern girl. Must be all that [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Violet Gumdrop!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Forest and Jenny went together like peas and carrots, but my bestie and I go together like milk and cookies. Mostly because I’d rather be a cookie than a carrot. Just saying. Anyway! You know how I am. Stamp a milk carton onto anything and I’ll come running. Lucky for me, the treasures over the [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Iwako Eye Candy!!!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010There were plenty of yummy things to gaze upon over at the Iwako booth, but nothing beat the stacks upon stacks of boxes of erasers, my favorite school supply. I used to collect erasers as a kid and though my magical collection has mysteriously disappeared over the years, I’ve managed to salvage a few gems. [...]
Toy Fair 2010: Fun Sand
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010After Paul and I were randomly accosted by some woman with some kind of something something for kids with something or another, we sought refuge in the Fun Sand booth across the way. Good thing we did because that stuff was weeeeiiirrrdddd. As I mentioned yesterday, there were no children at Toy Fair, so we [...]
Valentines For Valentine’s Idea
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be just for mushy gushy couples. You love your friends, don’t you? Well… you at least like them a little bit, right? Then show them! Take Valentine’s Day back from the man and use it as one more excuse to party and have fun with the people you like most, [...]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Fingers
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Hey man, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are pretty cool and all, but when it comes to finger puppets, it’s all about Splinter. Bawww, look at him. He’s so cute! Though I’m sure his ninjutsu has seen better days. Like when he had arms and legs…
The Fighting Turtles Finger Puppet Set is available from the [...]
Hair Umbrella, Dog Cone – Same Thing.
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Here’s a little accessory that’ll redefine not only the bowl cut, but the at-home-haircut entirely. Last I checked we put cones on our dogs and cats to prevent them from nibbling at their stitches, not on children. Though I can understand the appeal. Preserving any room of the house when I give my roommate a [...]
Star Wars Play-Doh!!!!
Sunday, January 24th, 2010Awwwww, Star Wars Play-Doh! This brings back so many memories of my Play-Doh diner that I had as a kid, which coincidentally, was around the same time I watched a lot of Star Wars. If only my worlds would combined then, I would have been a clay carbonite, droid oozing master! Better late than never [...]
Table House
Monday, January 18th, 2010You never know when you’ll have a spontaneous play frenzy or a spooky visit from an unwanted guest. Whatever happens, it’s better to be prepared. Yeah, ghost. Just try to get into this fort. That’s right. You can’t. Come to think of it, this would not be the best investment for me since I’d probably [...]
Edible Crayons You Probably Still Won’t Want To Eat
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010I wasn’t a kid who ate things, but I always took comfort knowing there was someone did. I don’t know. We were kids. Aren’t we expected to eat some percentage of the paste before gluing our hands to our foreheads? Anyway, if you really want to get your kid to stop eating their crayons you [...]
Elf On The Shelf
Sunday, December 20th, 2009A friend-turned-mom posted this on her page today claiming it was a great way to keep your little tikes in check this Christmas season. Upon closer inspection, I have discovered that yeah, this will totally do it. Basically the story is that in order for Santa to keep tabs on all the naughty and nice [...]
So… It’s Ok To Eat Babies?
Wednesday, December 16th, 2009I’m confused. How do we live in a society where eating babies is frowned upon, yet we continuously wrap them up to resemble food? This place is backwards, I say. Always has been and always will be. At least we can count on babies being cute. Well, most of them. And come on, haven’t you [...]
Dino Bed
Sunday, December 13th, 2009Speaking of beds I want to sleep in, some lucky little kid somewhere snatched up yet another one of my dreams: to be roommates with a dinosaur. Granted, I’d prefer something smaller and less carnivorous, but hey, supplies are low. I wonder how this kid’s family was able to swing this deal. They must have [...]
Crayon Cake!
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Duff Goldman of Ace of Cakes, I’ve never really been that compelled to eat any one of your cakes before. Don’t get me wrong, your work is fantastic, I’m just… I’m skeptical. But hey, you can’t always be everything to everyone and when a cake looks that good, I’ll understand if its not the most [...]
Most Popular Xmas Toys Since 1960
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009Generally when I think back to popular Christmas toys, I think of the Tickle-Me Elmo. Probably because that’s when I started growing out of my fish bowl and began to realize how stupid everyone was. But high-in-demand Christmas toy have been a holiday vice since the 60s, leaving many generations of parents unnecessarily stressed, guilt-stricken [...]
Vader – Knocked Up
Sunday, November 1st, 2009Ok, so maybe it’s too late for a last minute Halloween costume for the ultra fertile, but hey, if you find yourself with child next October you can remember back to the year before when I, Nikkita, showed you the greatest pregnant costume you had ever seen. You’re welcome, reader of the now (and of [...]
Copy/Paste Twins
Tuesday, October 27th, 2009So THAT’S how it works. Huh, I guess it makes sense. But I feel bad for twin 2.0. Saying he’s just the copy/paste of his brother is seriously underestimating his leadership skills. I hope he grows up to be a world dictator some day just to prove his family wrong. Even better, I hope he [...]
