Everyone has Batman on the brain this week but there’s a building buzz around the long-awaited X-Files flick too. As far as we can tell, the only thing missing from this sci-fi movie is this little guy from Crib Rock’s Metal Mania wall hook line.  Good thing you, Mulder and Scully can all buy him right here!

Massachusetts’ rocking kids shop R and S Avenue (Rattle and Stroll) has a style and essence all it’s own. Characters Rattle and Stroll are the brother/sister team with an eye for fashion and fun, who act as co-spokespersons for R&S Avenue. The pair can be found kicking it in both their Mashpee and Hyannis locations, and online.

Nice to chat with you two. So Rattle, how would you describe your personal style?
I love edgy tutus and glamorous fairytale dresses. It’s so much fun to wear frilly ruffles flipped with couture street style. I love the spotlight and attracting attention!

Okay Stroll…same question for you…
I love rocking my fly greaser jeans and tattoo tee shirts. My style vibe is vintage rock meets modern punk and comes from a blend of many different fashion flavors! I love to mix and match them all because while I may be little but I still have to dazzle the ladies!

So kids, which brands does your namesake store R&S Avenue rock these days?
Crib Rock Couture, Ed Hardy Kids, Christian Audigier Kids, Misha Lulu, Monster Republic, Joes Jeans, Harajuku Lovers, Kingsley, Kaos Recycled, Childish, Knuckleheads, Aristabrat, Little Lovelies & more!

R&S Avenue has two locations: 547 Main St., Hyannis, MA 02601, phone 508-771-1480 and R&S Avenue in Mashpee Commons, 22 North St., Mashpee, MA 02649.  For those not able to visit in person, check them out online at www.rsavenue.com.

The beautiful wife of Boston Celtic NBA Champion Kevin Garnett, Brandi Padilla Garnett was spotted purchasing Crib Rock Couture’s Concert Series onesies and tees from upscale boutique Hipster Kid in Westlake Village, CA last week for their daughter born in April 2008.

It’s no secret that my daughter Jordan was the inspiration for Crib Rock when the Concert Series Tees launched in 2005 and she continues to inspire creativity in our studio and in our hearts everyday.  I guess you could call her the Crib Rock Muse.

As our muse is growing up, my hope is that Crib Rock’s product line will expand and mature right along with her.  So when Jordan handed over sketches of a wall hook design she envisioned for her tween scene bedroom it was so rewarding to bring that vision to life.  See which product she inspired after the jump.

Budgets are tight in households across the nation and many families are choosing to spend vacation dollars at home.  Simple vacations and day trips (or Staycations as they’ve been dubbed in the media) are replacing more elaborate ones.  In some cases, fancy summer camps have been nixed altogether to compensate for rising gasoline prices and soaring grocery costs.  As a result, women across the country are waking up to the sobering fact that this summer:  Mom is the Camp Counselor.  “What are we doing today Mom?” “Mom, I’m bored.” “There’s nothing to do here.”  Bla, Bla, Bla.

Sound familiar?   Don’t let the inmates run the asylum.  It’s game plan time.  Here are some suggested activities… (more…)

I had to post this amazing deal from a national close-out company that popped up in my email today.  Mini Flying-V Guitars, the Maestro by Gibson no less, discounted to nearly 50% of their original prices and (drumroll please) it includes an amplifier, strap, strings and a lesson on DVD.  Although I’m certain inventory will vary greatly from store to store, the guitar colors in this ad (Hot Rod Red, School Bus Yellow, Bubblegum Pink) are rocking!  I’d love to hear back from the Lil’ Crib Rock Rockers who make this purchase. What a bargain! What a deal!

It’s official. Abomidable Snowmen (AKA Yetis) are smoking hot this season.  Not only are Yeti’s the leader of the pack in our new LEGENDS tee line for boys, it seems Hollywood (via “The Mummy 3″) has come calling for these Tibetan bad boys too.  Be warned, these snowmen are not the loveable, fuzzy guy from the 1970’s “Ruldolph and the Rednose Reindeer” flicks - the modern kids Yeti is 100% bad boy.

Just the other day, we unexpectedly received the nicest telephone message from celebrity mom, Gabrielle Reese, the professional volleyball player with model good looks, who’s married to the equally beautiful and athletic (professional surfer), Laird Hamilton.  She shared that their six-month old daughter Brody Jo loves her Crib Rock Couture - a message that was very kind, absolutely unnecessary and completely flattering.  We like to pass on when celebrities do and say nice things.  Thanks Gabrielle!  

Crib Rock® Couture and Decor is a proud sponsor of the hot, new, teen pop sensation The G*Girlz and their pink carpet premiere held in downtown Disney, June 26, 2008. By all accounts the party rocked, showcasing the G*Girlz and their new show “Teen Fashionistaz.”  Because we love music here at Crib Rock, we are thrilled to help promote young musical talent!  What could be better?  Plenty of stars (Girlicious!) graced the pink carpet in support of the young trio.  For more info on the girls and the evenings events, pick up the next issue of Pop Star Magazine.
