Christmas Catalog Countdown - 12/9/06
The first thing that struck me when I saw this page was how few roller blades were on this page. It was 1995! OK, I lied, the first thing that struck me was that ostentatious Lion King skate. Holy cow! er...Holy leopard, cheetah and zebra! That thing just jumps off the page at you, doesn't it? As usual, the girls get the raw end of the deal with nothing but white and pink options (unless you count Simba's folly on the end.) We don't even get a cool licensed character! We get...oh I can barely type it...a unicorn! Wait a minute...it's Unicorn®. Is she some sort of special unicorn, or did some industrious person realize no one had trademarked the unicorn and saw an opening? Who the heck is Unicorn®? Ironically, I'm more familiar with the Gargoyles, who graced the boys skates. I had actually forgotten all about them until I saw this page. They were another syndicated cartoon catering to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle demographic. Not really my thing, but at least I knew about them. See you in the next installment of the Christmas Catalog Countdown® by Lori®.
