Ahhh… so I was doing my usual blog browsing and came across a website that sells “vegan” candies. I came across this and had to laugh out loud:

LaVie French Fruit Candy Tins — Delectable pastille candy drops with a sweet coating of non-bone char processed sugar. Each fruity flavor is naturally sweetened and colored with pure fruit juices and extracts. In Strawberry, Cherry, . . .

Sugar is process with bone? Since when? Hmm maybe they mean the furnace that heats the factory, that doesn’t use fossil fuels because those dinosaurs don’t deserve to be burnt up to be used for gas! Hey… I’ve found a flaw in the vegan system, how do they get around with out using fossil fuels?!

Oh those silly vegans *giggle giggle.*

This is a joke right?

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Authorities want
Michael Jackson back in court — this time as a juror. Jackson received a jury summons at his Neverland Valley Ranch, four months after he was acquitted of child molestation charges.

However, Jacko will most likely not serve on the jury at all, due to the fact that he lives in Bahrain now.

“He is permanently living outside of the United States,” Thomas Mesereau, who defended Jackson against the child molestation charges, said Wednesday.

Other famous people summoned to court?

Jury Commissioner Gary Blair said he summoned Ronald Reagan when he was president but granted him a deferment until he was out of office.

For the fun of it I am posting two short essays I have written for two different classes that a total of two people may have interest in reading… so here you are:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Toy maker Mattel Inc, known for Barbie fashion dolls, is expanding the plastic icon’s domain to include high-end designer clothing and accessories for adult women.

Wow, I am absolutely excited for this. I’ve always wanted to look like my barbie. Do these clothes come with the barbie dreamhouse, car, and yacht? I sure hope so ;)

So the new label is going to be sold under the name “Barbie Luxe” and will include merchandise like jeans, shirts, handbags, and jewlery. Designers such as Anna Sui, Anya Hindmarch, Citizens of Humanity, Judith Leiber, Nickel, Not Rational, Paper Denim & Cloth, Stila and Tarina Tarantino have added Barbie-esque touches to their designs, such as pink stitching on jeans or a retro silhouette on a cameo pendant.

Mattel is launching the line exclusively at Fred Segal Flair in Santa Monica next week, and some designers will carry the merchandise in their own boutiques.

“Mattel is hoping that the clothing and accessories will catch on with trendsetting teens and women and that popularity will trickle down to Barbie the doll.”

“When a teen or 20-something is carrying an Anya Hindmarch, Barbie bag it’ll reinforce Barbie as relevant, cool brand for little girls,” said Dickson. “Little girls are growing up faster than ever and looking to adults and teens for inspiration, and Barbie is their aspiration.”

The items aren’t cheap, with jeans priced at $176 and a 3/4 sleeve hooded sweatshirt at $140, and this helps add to the cachet of the brand, which is designed to be “aspirational.”

Today is my birthday! Lovely seventeen ;) Driving test is scheduled for the 25th!
