Make Room for "Average" Lammily Doll

      It all began when Nickolay Lamm asked a question: "What would Barbie look like if she had the dimensions of an average woman?" His answer came to Lammily doll, a broader, shorter, brunette version of the original blond Mattel doll. Lamm is ready to depute his doll and will provide the doll with stickers and a clothing line. The stickers will show as if acne, scars, stretch marks and much more. The design was inspired from a 19 year old woman. The wide hip and thick thigh doll goes against all odds and is only $24.99. The doll doesn't actually have a name until you buy her and fill out her passport which allows you to name her whatever you want. Eventually, Nickolay wants to follow in the Build-A-Bear Workshop steps and allow children to design their own Lammily doll with custom features.

Web 2.0: Web Research

      Wiki can be used in a current class on my schedule in History.  This class could create and use a Wiki on a regular basis to organize projects.  Not only that but also study guides for tests.

What are the benefits of using a wiki in class?
  • sharing your own opinion 
  • everyone can communicate by using instead of email
  • use it to organize different things

My Weekend


      My high school had a long four day weekend.  On Thursday, I stayed home all day watching Grey's Anatomy on Netflix.  I barely got out of bed that day.  Friday came along and I went to Lyndhurst to go to lunch with my friends from there.  I really missed them but honestly was so
excited to see them. That night, I had a football game to cheer in against Harrison.  We actually won that game and the boys were so happy.  Saturday morning and afternoon I did nothing.  Around 6:30, I picked up Kaitlyn, Bobbie, and Kayla and we headed to Riggins Field for a football game.  It was very cold.  We went to Wendy's with this kid, Nick, who is from Lyndhurst.  Then we went home after that game.  The last day of this weekend popped up, Sunday.  I went to the Senior football game which Wood-Ridge won and are now going to the Superbowl.  I am so proud of them for doing this in Heights.  From there, my friends and I went to McDonalds and then walked to Wood-Ridge Boulevard.  This was a football filled weekend with many laughs and memories, but pretty boring.
