Here is the yummy sounding recipe!

Bratz on Apeach

A new drink recipe featuring Absolut Apeach, the newest member of the Absolut vodka family.

40 ml Absolut Apeach
60 ml pineapple juice
60 ml cranberry juice
egg white or frothee

Shake well with ice in a cocktail shaker.
Strain into a cocktail glass and decorate with a maraschino cherry

Just so you know this is NOT an official MGA thing so this name may be changed but it was just fun to notice- but MGA did not want the Bratz on cig lighters etc, they never would have had a drink named this as a "Bratz" thing.

MGA sues Mattel!

I know of one really nasty thing Mattel pulled recently and MGA asked me not to mention it but I am sure it will come out in the details of this case. Its not a surprise, Mattel is a nasty bully.

April 13, 2005
MGA Entertainment, Inc. Files Suit against Mattel, Inc.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 13, 2005--MGA Entertainment, Inc., the maker of the world famous "BRATZ" dolls, filed a multi-count federal lawsuit against Mattel, Inc. in the Central District of California on April 13, 2005. In what MGA calls "A Picture Speaks a Thousand Words" lawsuit against the behemoth toy company, MGA alleges that Mattel has engaged in acts of unfair competition and intellectual property infringement intended to damage MGA's market share, confuse consumers and trade on MGA's goodwill.

"MGA is committed to taking all steps necessary to protect the value of BRATZ and its other intellectual property and, through its complaint, seeks significant damages from Mattel," says Isaac Larian, CEO of MGA Entertainment.

MGA's stellar legal team is comprised of Dale Cendali of O'Melveny & Myers and Patricia Glaser of Christensen, Miller, Fink, Jacobs, Glaser, Weil and Shapiro LLP.

MGA Entertainment, a consumer entertainment products company headquartered in Van Nuys, California, manufactures innovative lines of proprietary and licensed products, including toys and games, dolls, consumer electronics, home decor, stationary and sporting goods. BRATZ was introduced in June 2001, and has since become one of the world's premiere toy lines and girls' lifestyle brands. The BRATZ brand is also noted for having won Family Fun magazine's Toy of the Year Award four years in a row. With over 350 licensees worldwide, BRATZ brings together innovative companies and cutting-edge fashion styles to create exciting new products in apparel, footwear, fashion accessories and so much more.

Nancy

Sometimes another person's art perfectly expresses what I want.

My friend Nancy has left this world and this made me

think she would have said, yes this is me.

I won't say Rest In Peace, because she won't- she helped rescue and relocate wolves,

so I think I will say Run Wild In Peace. She is running wild and free.

My Wendy Froud sculpture class doll :)

My scanner had been jammed and then last night my brattiest boy cat threw it onto the ground from my art table (he is the only one who seems to know how to fling heavy objects..) and now its FIXED! I can't tell him thanks because he can't go around throwing stuff but he did get pets and a kiss for "no reason"... anyway :)

This is my doll


He will be using those silks for his clothing but they will become even more shredded and his stitching under on his body still needs to be done but you can see what he looks like and it won't change that much. I have never done this before which shows you what a great teacher Wendy is. I am really happy with him and look forward to making more in all kinds of ways and looks
:)

Thank you MGA

When I first read about her I noticed in the story how she was a Bratz fan and I told my friend at MGA about her and they told me the next day they had now seen footage of her bedroom and how she had a huge Bratz poster over her bed and that maybe.. they would "do something".
Well they did. Thank you for caring.

Reward for Jessica now $115,000
By Amy Shannon

Somebody's got to know something.
That's what five recent, major contributors to a Jessica Marie Lunsford reward fund set up to help solve the missing girl's case are banking on.

The reward fund began with a $25,000 pledge by Atlanta Braves pitcher and longtime Homosassa resident, Mike Hampton, and his wife, Kautia. It has since grown to $115,000, sheriff's officials said.

Homosassa resident and CEO of internet-based employment resource StaffMD, Jeff Sisk, and his wife, Salina, made one of the five major contributions to the fund Feb 26.

"It's not a lot of money, but we felt like helping out," Sisk said.
Sisk said he and his wife raise children of their own and live in Sugarmill Woods, just a mile away from Jessica's Sonata Avenue home, where the 9-year-old was last seen.

"It hit home for all of us," Sisk said. "It breaks your heart."
The money pledged by the Sisks is for information leading to the location and safe return of Jessica.

Joining the Sisks and Hamptons are three other major contributors: the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, MGA Entertainment and VIDEO professor.

Jessica's grandfather, Archie Lunsford, is a longtime Teamster. MGA Entertainment produces the fashionable Bratz dolls — favorites of Jessica's.

Based in Lakewood, Colo., VIDEO Professor has been a leader in comprehensive, self-paced computer software tutorials for more than 18 years.

Citrus County Sheriff's spokeswoman Gail Tierney said the reward fund is one of the many tools involved in the investigation to help return Jessica to her family.
Jessica is 4 feet 10 inches tall, 70 pounds with light brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing a pink silk nightgown and white silk shorts.

Anyone with information about the missing persons case or Jessica's whereabouts should call the Citrus County Sheriff's Office at 726-1121 or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678.

A good cause!

Its nice to see people doing this kind of cool thing and that its really specific is interesting. Sometimes people give to big charities like Red Cross and never really know what town or people the money or supplies go to, here you do.

Party!

Went to this party last night with MGA

Does it get any better than this..

No :)

I love the Bratz and the people behind them :)

Of course it was amazing to see the new lines, all those beautiful dolls.

And seeing my friends again who I wished lived on the East Coast!

But also seeing Mr Larian again who was so sweet and cool and of meeting

the real "Yasmin", Jasmin Larian (!). What a cool smart pretty girl.

Don't you think a line of "Jasmin" Bratz dolls would be cool?

Something that she designs alone, I mean this is the literal person

who inspired this dolly revolution, I'd like to see what her perfect

dolls would be... maybe I should suggest it.. OH I already did LOL.

Can't wait to get the new Bratz, once again MGA rocks!
