Dora Links Doll

The new Dora Links Doll will being unveiled today on The View. Set your DVRs and TIVOs, or watch live.

Elaine played a role in the design and development of the Dora doll and her clothing. She did a ton of graphics for the site connected to the doll, and I contributed with some illustrations.

Go to doralinks.com when you buy the doll or just check it out now.

Sorry, we can't post a picture of the doll until it's officially announced, but I'll throw something up later.

Fisher Price badge

The day before we left for Licensing Expo in Vegas, we were invited by Fisher Price to their Vendor Fair. There, we got to have face time with some of the people we do work for; and we also get to meet new people for potential work. We had a portfolio, promotional material, and a table to greet Fisher Price designers and project managers.

I joked about their security at the time. We had to sign waivers promising not to discuss anything we saw (so, mum's the word), and we got badges on which we were to write our names. Only today, about two weeks later did I see the extent of their seriousness in their security when I found the badge in my bag. A time exposed ink "appeared" on my badge. Cool.
