Sept. 26, 2004 Who would have thunk it? Those cute little babies on television are all grown up celeBRATTY Tyrannosaurus Rexi (gee, I hope I got that right, I don't understand Greek, or Latin). Just like Kathy Lee Gifford who supposedly had little kids in Timbuktu, or Tywan, or some little rinky dink country in Asia making her clothing line (forgeting for a moment these countries may not have child work laws like ours and are very poor) the Olson twins are now gone corporate. They now,alas,also have a clothing line. Here, however,the difference * with sharks (legal sharks, yeah, but sharks none the less). The Olson twins who first starred as little Michelle on Full House have had their problems. The least of which is growing up in front of the entire world. They also had to go through their teens in front of everyone as their lives are recorded for posterity (on tape and DVD at better music and video store, not so good and pretty sleezy back alleys everywhere). I know there's even some questionable websites, but that's another problem. Lately, as EVERYONE knows Mary-Kate has been having problems with her weight (hey, it was in the news) and a couple of sharp entrepreneurs doing a parody of save the whales campaign posters came out with a Save Mary Kate t-shirt and promised to give 20 percent of profits to eating disorder groups. While I realize eating disorders aren't funny this group Randy and Moss evidently stepped on some pretty big toes. I guess the Olson twins aren't nearly as nice as they seem. At least their legal team is just as blood thirsty as any other. They sent Randy and Moss a nasty e-mail to quit selling the t-shirts. What was it hurting? The sales amounted to 600 shirts (unless I missed something, or misread the news item about it) not a lot of sales. Surely doesn't cut into the Olson's megamillion, or billion dollar empire. Clothing, or otherwise. Well, anyway I'm doing my share. I don't buy any of their merchandise (Randy and Moss, or the Olsons) Hey, I refuse to make any celebrity rich. At least more then I can help. Hmmmm, Maybe I ought to bring out my own clothing line. I think it should be called around the house doing housework and etc. grunge. What? There is? Crap! I didn't realize there was already a generic clothing line called that. Anyway, I don't buy any celebrity anything. It goes against my values (look I realize a lot of people like Martha Stewart and Oprah, but that doesn't mean I have to buy their stuff)besides that stuff costs a lot of money and I'm not going to contribute to sweatshops, unlike the (Heinz) Kerry's. I didn't mean to get political, sorry. Anyway, unless some star comes out with a product where the proceeds go to charity, Huh?? Paul Newman? Am I bad. I guess not all stars are greedy grasping misers. Somehow, that makes me feel better. Nuff said.
