{ ello creation systems }

mattel® has recently released these new toys called "ello creation systems..." legostyle toys intended for young girls 5 and up, but uh... i'm in the mid twenties genre and i think i probably enjoy this shit more than your typical 8 year old... for xmas, i received the fairytopia character builder set that came with 128 pieces such as sticks, heads, balls, flowers, wings, antennae, etc, that can all be easily snapped together to form a beautiful collection of fairies, ballerinas, insects and accessories to proudly display on that shelf you have in your house that's for your "i'm way too old for this stuff but i don't care," stuff or to wear as jewelry... yes, the set even includes beads and string so you can have the coolest winged creatures hanging from your neck, ankle, whatever... and apparently, according to the box, the oppenheim toy portfolio (whatever that is) gave it their platinum best toy award... so all you girls (and boys who like things that sparkle), pick up a set at amazon.com, target, wherever... it will only run you about $10 and then you can be on your merry way to start creating a wonderful world of fairy and insect bliss...

What will those crazy Danes think of next?
I imagine the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio as a shadowy Illuminati-esque organization whose goal is total world-wide domination of the toy industry. They gave Ello the award for finally cracking into that much coveted "young women/building block jewelry" market, which we all know is the cornerstone to world toy domination.
