Now - I'm going to point you in a different direction. Webkinz are the

of the moment. DD loves them. They come in "Little Kinz" and "Big
Kinz". DD
loves them and actually will dress them up.


Ah, but then we've got to buy Webkinz to custom-fit them to. We already
own Barbies, and have patterns for them.



Only one of each size... $20 investment.



The point of this venture is to make money, not spend it.

Barbie is proven to be enduring, Webkinz are flavor of the month, and by
next year our $20 investment might be worthless junk and no one want to
buy what we've made for next year's sale.

Besides, most of the clientele at this thing are grannies and
great-grannies -- Barbie they will recognize, Webkinz they won't have a
clue.

Excuse Me!!! Why would you think grannies, or great-grannies wouldn't know
about the latest hot toy that their grandkids want? Some of us GOW's
actually get out of the house on occasion and keep up with the trends.

Some of us older folk even play games on one of those new fangled puter
thingies and drive to stores and watch TV and nowadays we actually know how
to read and write and get out of the kitchen.

I do hope you were kidding when you underestimated grannies!!!
