Extraordinary Measures and Olivia Hope by Only Hearts Club

Steph and Amy went to see that new movie, Extraordinary Measures the other day. One of the characters in the movie, the daughter, has an Only Hearts Club doll. Amy thinks that it was Olivia Hope. It is possible that it is a different member of the Club, but even if it is, it is still cool to feature such a doll. By the way, if you watch the movie and determine that it is not Olivia Hope, let us know. Thanks!

Of course, we carry the Only Hearts Club dolls over at Town Square Toys. The Only Hearts Club dolls are great; they are a group of spirited girls who share cool adventures together and formed a Club based on true friendship. You can read about their adventures in their books. We think that they are great examples for young girls to model.

If you want more information about Extraordinary Measures, you can check it out at The Internet Movie Database. It has been getting great reviews. The movie stars Brendan Fraser, Harrison Ford, Keri Russell, Meredith Droeger, and Diego Velazquez.

Toys and Paper Dolls

When I first saw the movie, Toys, in theaters, I fell in love with it. I think, looking back that I fell in love with the design and concepts and cinematography more than anything. The style is just wonderful and still captures my imagination and captivates me. Somewhere in the back of my mind I think that I would love our toy store to be like the one in the movie.

The movie stars Robin Williams and Joan Cusack as the children of Kenneth Zevo, who is soon to pass away and leave the company, Zevo Toys, to someone in his family. Kenneth Zevo is played by the late Donald O'Connor, in a small but sweet role. Trouble arises when control of the company is handed over to Lt. General Leland Zevo, Kenneth's brother, played by Michael Gambon. More interesting than the drama, to me at least, is the inside view of this wonderful company. Joan Cusack's character, Alsatia, designs clothes for the paper dolls. She works her magic by designing full sized clothes and tests them out herself. It is just a small and unique example of how the company and this movie is designed.

Anyway, we sell a few different paper doll toys at Town Square Toys. There is the Alex Crafty Fashion Show, the Madeline Paper Dolls book, and even a paper doll game by eeBoo! You should come and check them out!

If you want more information about Toys, you can check it out at the The Internet Movie Database. It is a magical comedy with a little drama and a taste of Christmas, starring Robin Williams, Michael Gambon, Joan Cusack, Robin Wright Penn, LL Cool J, and Donald O'Connor.
