We'd Love To hear From YOU!

FROM LYN: After talking to girls at two high schools yesterday and hearing some of the most insightful comments and obervations, I'd like to invite girls who log on to add to our powerpoint with images and messages they wish we'd address in our talks. I'll add some of our presentation images to this site, but we'd love to hear from YOU! Lyn

I'd love to see your Powerpoint and hear what you had to say on this. I ran an editorial in the S.F. Chron long ago on the 'updating' of Nancy Drew...I'll post it here when I can find it.

Also on Shaping Youth, I did a series of 'cartoons getting facelifts' that you might want to check out.

Here's the one on Manga Makeovers (using this same visual of Nancy Drew...I may have the link to the Chron embedded)

And here's the one on Facelifts for Kiddie Characters:

Oh, and to Rebeca above...Shaping Youth wrote on the Scholastic dumping Bratz factor too. Woohoo, victory!! :-)

Thank CCFC for that one all!
