Photostory Friday

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

As some of you may already know we went to see Disney on Ice on Valentines day.
We got some great seats. Really close to the ice and all the action.

The cool part is that we did get to see all of these:

Disney dancing


Pluto


Donald


The really cool part is of course Mickey and Minnie





For Emma though that entire princess thing is what is on the top of the list. So I think one of the really big highlights was this one:


Unfortunately there were quite a lot of these (and well afterward we found that we went to the incredible Disney on ice...)





But all in all. Isn't this just one of the things that makes it all worth it:


For me it was really cool seeing the entrance to China town. The first pictures I took was in daylight and yeah they were ok... but that's about it. Just ok. After dinner I took a few more and with it being darker the lights were lit and it is soo much cooler :-)


Wrapping up the day we were heading home on the Metro


Just catch a ride and it will take you half way home (yeah that's another long long story but well...)


Have a great weekend :-)

Disney on ice - valentines day

As some of you may know we went to Disney on ice on valentines day.
Jacki had it in her post here.

I uploaded the photos to the photoshop website and you can see all of them right here:
Disney on Ice

how are you selling your teenager???

I know it's all about the show and creating a little talk on the town is good for revenue. Lots of Hollywood people are using that and plenty of hopeful actors, singers etc. have faced quite a lot of different things.

I don't know why but I am thinking Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Olsen twins and well it's a loooong line of well the I should have been doing sooo good but something happened.

No matter what what kids see on tv is what they want to do and well look like their idol. However these days it's a little bit disturbing to see how the idols act and many times supported by their parents.

Take Disney as an example and the most talked about show at the moment Hannah Montana. This is a show for kids and the main "star" is all of what 15 years old.
Now thinking about a 15 year old I kind of have certain expectations as to how a 15 year old is or well should be.

Man... either that family is totally out of whack with the parents support or my thinking of how a 15 year old should be is extremely old.

In an upcoming Vanity fair Bruce Handy has an article about Miley. This goes into how her favorite show is sex and the city and that she has the highest-grossing release on a super bowl weekend ($31.1 million) and the highest per screen average ($45,561) despite the artificial inflated price of $15 per ticket to the movie theater.

Anyway no article without pictures right... and with the talented Annie Leibovitz (really she is) what can go wrong??? With parents on the set doesn't the photo below just seem natural for a 15 year old???



Not only was the parents on the set good ole dad was in the shoot as well and going through the slide show we are even getting a glimpse of the next Cyrus. 8 year old Noah... You can see the slide show here or well as long as it is available.

So Billy Ray Cyrus had a hit in the 80's and well after that it was all down hill. Now what do you do to ensure you get back in the spot light? well I guess he figured there was a few daughters around and they should be able to be sold of... or what...

Granted having millions would be nice. But when seeing how other kids have been growing up and well not turned out too good....

Maybe it's just me but you sure won't find me in line to buy tickets anytime soon.
Is this normal? how does the average parent feel about supporting (big time) parents selling off their kids like that?
