Me love cookie (Cookie Monster that is!)
Although Sesame Street spawned a tonne of my favourite childhood characters, it was Cookie Monster who ruled my heart as a kid growing up!
Yes - Elmo was adorable and I was partial to a bit of learning to Count with The Count but for me, the connoisseur de crumbs was my absolute fave! With his deep, growly voice, and childlike chatter (Me want cookie!) even as a grown up, I can't seem to resist that bright blue fur and trademark googly eyes!
As his name implies, Cookie Monster just loves cookies (donât we all!) and can usually be found munching away on his favourite treats (OMM-nom-nom-nom...) but luckilly for me, he's also taken time out of his hectic shcedule to star on some of our official Sesame Street Tees!
The perfect way for us grown ups to pay tribute to the voracious monster, check out some of our exclusive designs below....
Comic Con 2011!
If youâre anything like us then you'll be eagerly waiting for the 42nd annual San Diego Comic Con to begin next weekend! For those not in the know, Comic Con is for anyone who's really into comic book, films, TV shows, and anything else nerdy! It's basically a huge gathering (over 120,000 strong so really, really HUGE!) of enthusiasts (generally dressed up as their favourite characters) all coming together to share their stories and trade their wares. The best bit is that you get to meet the creators, artists and stars of some of these amazing productions which is why it's such a mecca!
Originally started by a group of comic book fans in the San Diego Area, the first convention was held in the basement of the U.S. Grant Hotel with an attendance of just 300 people.The convention has moved about throughout the years, going from the U.S. Grant Hotel to the University Of California At San Diego and finally to the San Diego Convention Center. In that time, it has grown to an attendance of over 100,000 people and has expanded to four days. It has now become the largest comic book convention in the world so it's pretty special!
So are any of you lot going this year and if so - seeing as it's pretty much obligatory to dress up, we figured we'd run down some of our favourite Fancy Dress Costumes to help get you sorted!
