Sesame Street

Authored by Oswaldo Blackburn
.
I am a big fan of Sesame Street, or "The Street" as we refer to it in the hood. The Street is a gritty urban show targeted to kids, featuring a homeless monster who lives in a trash can, a bloodthirsty vampire and a crazy tall yellow bird. The whole thing is a psychedelic nightmare, and this is why of all the children's shows on television Sesame Street is the scariest and coolest in the young adult crowd.
.
Only with Sesame Street, the characters are not just the afflicted and hopeless. They are also represented by those who push for civil rights, like roommates Bert and Ernie and their unspoken love. Truly this is a show that knows how to be progressive. I also find the celebrity guest spots to be titillating and full of envelope pushing lasciviousness, as evidenced over the recent controversy over singer Katy Perry's dress. It is just one more example of how The Street is willing to be daring in its choices despite being a kid's show designed for toddlers. The show, contrary to conventional wisdom, is not just about pushing merchandise and making profits, although that accounts for most of the motivation for all television. No, Sesame Street is about educating youth with style and danger, featuring a rough and rugged ghetto full of monsters and shady characters, which is why it's the perfect morning show to watch on BestChoiceTV .

Gifts That Speaks Love

It is the 18th of December, and we are still not done with the gift shopping. My husband had just decided to give cash for the adults and we sent them already yesterday. But we will still have to buy toys for our grandkids. I hate shopping for gifts on these last few days before Christmas. The malls are all crowded and the lines for the counters are always longer. I suggested to my husband that we will just do online shopping this time. In this way we save time going from one store to another store. Also, most online store nowadays offers fast shipping services due to the season.
.
I always have a special way of picking up a gift for kids. I go for something that would make them feel special by giving them something that they just can’t find from the kid next door.

Let Us Make Our Home Safe For Little Kids

Having little kids to visit in our house was a kind of stressful for us because of safety. This morning, our grandkids were here for a visit because their mom has to work. It was a pleasure and fun having them in our house, their laughter and shouts were music to our ears, but at the same time, it was a bit stressful because I have to make sure that I know what they were doing. Their safety was our main concern. The kids just loved going up and down the stairs, touching everything including electric outlets, going outside or playing the TV remote control. At the end of the day, both my husband and I were exhausted.

Organic Kids Apparel

Environmental-friendly fashion apparel for kids? What that’s supposed to mean?
.
There is an issue about the impact of textile industry on environment. The textile industry is one of the most chemically intensive industries on earth, it produces over 25% of the world’s use of pesticides and 11% of all herbicides. One t-shirt requires an estimated 1/3 pound of agricultural chemicals to just produce the cotton used to make it. Textile production is the leading industrial polluter of water on the planet (second only to agriculture overall). Producing one cotton t-shirt requires about 720 gallons of polluted water. The textile industry generates and consumes an estimated 1.3 million tons of dyes and other synthetic coloring agents per year. Due to cotton's natural resistance to dyes, roughly 50% of the chemicals used as dyes or fixers end up as waste in rivers and soil. This is too bad for comprehension. I know it is not that easy to stop these operations, but hopefully, making everybody aware of this truth will do some positive change for good.

In 2007 and early 2008, the market for sustainable apparel grew at dynamic levels. The first year that the sustainable apparel market became cohesive enough for a global retail sales estimate, it was estimated that the international market had already reached a value of about U.S.$3 billion. Organic fibers and fabrics are a significant part of this market, and offer the strongest framework of certification and standards. Organic apparel market has helped a lot with its revenue.

Baby Rain Wear

When I was just a little girl, my mother taught me how to make dresses for my doll and I made a bunch of them. I loved very much what I was doing. When I grew up, I had the chance to take a Dressmaking class one summer time. Then, it was no more my doll that I dressed up but my two year old niece. She was my model and she took pride on that. I put together my creativity and passion on my hands and created a bunch of fashionable dresses that earned a lot of "oohhs" and "aahhs".

There were a lot of any kinds of vegetables, fruits, crops and flowers last year. Magazines about gardening and seedlingss started to fill our mail box. I was told gardening is not easy as it looks.
