Sesame Street Characters Run Amuck

Sesame Street birthday blog has landed

OK, I know, this makes 9 blogs I have going now (miscounted in something else I wrote earlier). I’m insane. Utterly insane. But I really like Sesame Street stuff. So I’d like to introduce you to my new blog - Sesame Street Birthday. I even graduated to the big time and got my own domain this time. Woo-hoo! Anyway, I’ll be having some fun over there now in addition to this guy. But I have got to get a life.

Now joining my Sesame Street crew - Zoe!!

It’s about time I added a few more characters to my niche of Sesame Street characters. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but it’s tough with some of the more minor characters because there isn’t a lot of information out there about them. But I’ve gotten started today on Sesame Street’s Zoe monster, Elmo’s orange friend. She needs a bit more content really, but I always believe in leaving room for improvement.

And, yes, I’m quite pleased with myself for getting a new lens started and published while trying to keep up with everything else I’m doing with the 30DC.

New Sesame Street website is up and running

Have you been to the new Sesame Street website? Oh, my. It’s still in beta, but it’s pretty amazing. And it should be. They spent two years and $14 million making this thing. Yes, you read that right. $14 million!! Yikes! You have got to check out Neil Patrick Harris as the shoe fairy in the video section. That dude can sing!

They have lots of classic videos as well as new stuff. You can watch by character, theme, songs, etc. There’s lots of games and they have special playlists for particular days that highlight games and videos for that particular day. Today was Happy Feliz Day. Yes, happy happy day. It’s Sesame Street, folks.

New Abby Cadabby outfits and shirts available

I just added a bunch of new clothing options to my Abby Cadabby lens. Danged if they don’t have just the cutest things over at the Sesame Street Store! I wonder when they’ll start putting Abby on adult sized stuff. Hmm.

Change your calendar

If you were waiting with bated breath to see the Studio DC premeire, it’s been moved to August 3 at 8 p.m. Eastern. Guess they figured they had already waited a year since filming to show it; a few more weeks won’t hurt.

Mark your calendar for July 19!!

This is really more of a Muppets-related post than Sesame Street, but it involves Kermit, so it counts.

Kermit and the rest of the Muppets gang will be a part of Studio DC: Almost Live premiering July 19 at 8 pm ET on Disney. (In case you didn’t know, Disney bought the Muppets several years ago. It’s almost like they’re just remembering they had them in the closet.)

Kermit gets to do a duet of “Bop to the Top” with Ashley Tisdale. (Photo on Kermit’s page.) Not entirely sure what I think about that. Just can’t quite see Kermit holding his own in a duet with her. But hopefully I’ll be pleasantly surprised. (Yes, I’m going to watch it. Or at least Tivo it and fast forward a lot.)

Snuffy is visible?

When did Snuffy become visible to everyone else on Sesame Street? Did they just decide they were encouraging kids to use their imaginations too much by having imaginary friends? Just strange to me. No one is supposed to be able to see Snuffy!!

Abby Cadabby costume at last!!

Susan Villas Lewis — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:20:22 +0000

Finally have a place to get Abby Cadabby costumes. Not sure I like this one quite as much as the one that’s out of stock, but I don’t think anyone can choose to be ultra-picky at this point.

Yip, yip, yip, yip

Susan Villas Lewis — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 01:18:20 +0000

Remember the Yip Yips? Because I know you really want to, here’s directions for making a Yip Yip costume. I want to see pictures!!

Green & Loving It line released

Susan Villas Lewis — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 15:23:23 +0000

Did you know Disney owns the Muppets? Kind of a weird combo in my mind, but in case you didn’t - they do. And, wonder of wonders, they’re finally starting to do something with them beyond releasing new DVDs.

Kermit has his own line now promoting the whole green concept. Organic cotton tees, recycled paper journals - all with some really nice, muted designs. Loving them. My favorite is the messenger bag, pictured here. Could totally use it when I run into the store to pick up a few items. Maybe people wouldn’t look at me so weird for wanting to use my own bag.
