When we where first introduced to Elmo Live back in April, it was love at first sight. How he interacted during the presentation and the overall evolution of technology from the days of Tickle Me Elmo and now to Elmo Live was amazing.

After the 15 minute demo we were then told Elmo Live wouldn’t be available till late …

I think every little girl must have played with My Little Pony at one time or another in their lives. I know 25 years ago I was! So it was just an absolute thrill to be able to attend The My Little Pony Project celebrating 25 years of my little pony at the Chelsea Art Museum. On display were 25 18″ ponies decorated and designed by celebrities in fashion, TV, music, and the arts. Courtney Cox, LeAnn Rimes, and Kimora Lee Simmons to name a few. …
