Subject: one more thing about Betallic jam

Talking with a friend of mine, who was concerned with cultural
stereotypes since the theme of our jam contest was "boy toys" ---errr. .
. "toys for boys".


I was going to make a girlie entry for him. . . i.e. a skirt cause both
girls and boys like to try on Mommy's dresses. . . but I didn't, because
there were tons of pink animals and ballerinas, etc.  Aftger all, we the
balloon professionals notice that little boys like pink JUST as much as
little girls do until about 4 1/2 or 5 years of age.

Ps One final suggestion, if you are not already getting Harry Potter
requests, brush up before the movie comes out. . . sometimes I wear a
Harry Potter Tshirt under my balloon vest and have been doing quidditcc
brooms and golden snitches for well over a year now.
