Danish Homes and Women in Dubai

Danish homes are futuristic but also a little wacky. Kids' rooms don't have doors! The beds don't look very comfortable. Would you like to take a shower in a bathroom with only a glass door? I wouldn't! There aren't many decorations or unneccesary furnishings. This particular home was very white. It was characterized by the neatness and organization.

The women in Dubai have maids. The homes are big and the layout is very open. This particular woman's mother-in-law sends her 3 meals a day. They have chefs, helpers, and drivers. All the families are very connected and live close. Basically, many people in Dubai live in what we in America would consider mini mansions.

media--wayyyyoutofhand


All of the media on John and Kate plus 8 has been blown wayyyy out of proportion. Sure everyone loves the family and wants to know how they are doing, but it's their own business! Those poor kids are going to have a really hard time when they get older. Media has only made it worse. I think it has torn the family more apart.



And poor Britney Spears! She grew up a good girl and the media has changed her. Sure people mess up, but she doesn't want that all over the news. The media really just needed to leave her alone and let her live her life.

B&N project


Barnes and Nobles Project

So what is Barnes and Nobles? I'm glad you asked! It's a bookstore. They dont just have books though. They sell music, magazines, and even games. The store is divided first into those four categories, and then they are sectioned off by genres. Barnes and Nobles has just about something for everyone!
The place is full of books! The range from romance, to mystery, to self help. The music section is great also. There are headsets so you can try out different music, and see if you like it. There is also a huge variety! Along with books and music, Barnes and Nobles also has a great selection of games. Most of them are board games and card games though.
Many people go to Barnes and Nobles to buy books, music, games, and magazines, but they even have a cafe area. People can pick up a good book, grab some coffee, then sit in the cozy reading area. The kids book section is fun and inviting too. It's very colorful and has nice artwork on the walls.
Many diffeent types of people go to Barnes and Nobles. The most common type are nerdy and artsy people. They are just weird. I like to go every now and then, because i really like to read. Im sure that if there was one closer, I would go more often!

polly pokets:
Po-la-la-la-polly! Well, I'm sure almost everyone has heard of polly pockets before! If not, you're really missing out. As a little girl, I wasn't really into Barbies, babydolls, or even my little pony. I was a polly pocket girl! But really, where did the idea for these toys come from? And if you've heard of them before, I'm sure you're wondering who Polly is and what these toys look like.
Chris Wiggs first created Polly Pockets in 1983. The original design was something he had made for his daughter. He used a powder compact to make a small house for a tiny doll. Polly Pockets evolved from this man's simple idea into what you see today. They were tiny figurines that came in small compact compartments that opened up to reveal a miniature playset. They arrived in stores in 1989 when Bluebird Toys licensed the product. They ranged in price from $15- $200. In the early 1900's they were manufactured by Mattel, but they are no longer on the market today. You can find them in stores online.
Polly was a made up character but she wasn't lonely. In fact, she has a whole list of friends: Midge, Fifi, Lulu, Lila, Lea, Kate, Courtney, Becky, Cindy, Shani, Crissy, Rick, and Drew. Each doll is unique from the others and they all have detailed features. To makes the toy more attractive to children, bright color palettes are used. They also have different themes for each one. For example, I have a swimming pool one, a house, and a wedding chapel. They even have Disney themes for some. My personal favorites are Pocohontas, Cinderella, and Beauty and the Beast. The little dolls were made to fit into tiny holes around the toy, and they each have special levers or fold outs on them to make them more interactive.
Polly Pockets were my favorite toys when i was a little girl. Even though you can only find the original ones in online stores, there is still a version of them sold today. They are much larger and more life-like. There have even been video games of Polly Pocket. I had one for my gameboy when I was younger! While technology is great, I still love to go back and play with my original Polly Pockets, but be careful, because the peices are small and easy to lose. Trust me I've lost plenty!
