Fiesta Friday – Rainbow Bright
Did you know they are revamping Rainbow Brite? Back in the day, I had the full tricked out room…curtains, ruffles, bedspread, the works. I watched the show obsessively. I knew the song, all the characters, I even wished to wake up one morning blond with a star-shaped mole on my cheek.
So I’m not sure how I feel about the new look…must they put their hands on everything? I mean, without the widow’s peak, and her head and hair 1/3 the size of her body, is it still her? I get Transformers…we have the technology to make it look cooler than the cartoon. Please, please, do Voltron! When they did the live action of He-Man years ago, it was cheesy, but I still watched it.
But why Rainbow Brite???? These dolls are a skirt-hike away from being Bratz. Does anyone like the ‘new’ look? And I mean those of you who watched it originally, not as some Nick At Night retro flashback special. Jeez…could they try to make me feel any older?
Anyhoo, this post derailed somehow. My point was to segue way into St. Patrick’s Day and a few ideas for your own party, you know, rainbows and all…I’m so going to have to use some of these ideas for our upcoming ‘Kiss Me, I’m Irish’ party.
Taste the rainbow with Skittles vodka; fruit kabobs; I heart both the Colorburst cupcakes and rainbow pancakes; wow your table with a candy centerpiece.
Lots of fabulous details at this rainbow party; a cute rainbow mobile would be pretty hanging over the table; MOMA strips and block coasters; fun rainbow paperware; how fun are these curved glasses?
Rainbow Brite: not into the revamping of it unless they bring back the original dolls. then I'd be down for it.
As for Skittle flavored Vodka, two of my favorite things combined! Yum!

Just showed my 12 year old Rainbow Brite last weekend. Target has the original looking doll in a tall stuffed version!! I think there were other things but I was in a hurry and frankly don't need one so I didn't spend a lot of time looking! Ironic timing on your post though!

I cannot believe they are bringing her back! I LOVED Rainbow Brite and I too had her bedspread at one point. =) And a Strawberry Shortcake one!
