Fraggle Party
I know you want more info on the movie, but I can’t give you any yet. But things are happening. I am encouraged and excited by some new progress and hopefully I will be able to give you a big announcement here very soon. But that’s all I can say.
New Fraggle designs by Dr. RomanelliUntil there is more to say about the movie, I can at least report on the stranger-than-fiction clash of culture that I attended last night. Quite simply, it was a “Fraggle Rock Party” hosted by upscale fashion label Dr. Romanelli (I went to him last year when I threw my back out — he’s good). There was a DJ playing Fraggle jams, there were T-shirts that cost too much, and there was Fraggle-shaped jewelry. Oh the glamour! The stars! Kevin Sorbo! Jennifer Love Hewitt! Jamie Kennedy! Okay… that was about it. Unless you count RED FRAGGLE, who was really the chick everyone was there to see.
Can I tell you how surreal it is to see Red getting bathed in the flashbulbs of paparazzi? I think she was told they were fireflies or something. Red was escorted by her “handler,” Karen Prell. Karen’s enthusiasm for the character and the Fraggle Rock brand is instoppable, and it was good to see her again.
Hey Red, nice bling…
I’m shallow enough to tell you that I am ticked that I got no swag at all. Come on! How about a postcard? Some stickers! A Doozer stick!
The other part of the night that was fun was taking my three year-old son as my “plus one.” It’s his first industry party! I was so proud. And he stayed cool and kept to the three-juice minimum.
What does a glitzy event like this mean? That Fraggle mania is in the air, without even making a movie yet. All kinds of pop culture glow is around this brand right now, and this helps us push the feature, big time. I’ll wrap this up with some pics from the night…
Check out the Fraggle van. It’s like they’re a whimsical A-Team.
Look! Real snow! In Beverly Hills!
