Has Gaga lost her sausages?
 

It was Fashion Week after all but I don’t think we’ll ever encounter this on the runway or on a doll although it would be pretty funny. A little minute steak, some heavy white thread, lots of rhinestone jewelry and voila! You have made a fashion statement and stinky doll. It would be a great doll for the Fashion Royalty travel doll competition.

Mattel Loses Bratz Doll Appeals Court Ruling to MGA
 

Looks like the giant, scary Mattel isn’t all that powerful in the courts these days. I thought this statement by an Apellate Panel Chief Judge, Alex Kozinski, was very true and just: “Even assuming that MGA took some ideas wrongfully, it added tremendous value by turning the ideas into products and, eventually, a popular and highly profitable brand,” the appellate panel said in an opinion written by Chief Judge Alex Kozinski . “It is not equitable to transfer this billion-dollar brand, the value of which is overwhelmingly the result of MGA’s legitimate efforts, because it may have started with two misappropriated names.”
