Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, by Lauren Faust: What Planet Are You From?
About the Galaxy Girls:
What do girls like? The first things that come to your mind may be: clothes, hair, make up and fashion. And you would be right. Most girls DO enjoy these things, and it would be foolish to ignore that fact. But who only likes one thing, right? The world often forgets that girls love art, sports, music, culture, animals, learning… the list is infinite! And, sadly, sometimes girls forget that, too. So why can’t girls be cute, stylish, cool, AND smart, empowered and a little different?
They can. Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls offers the best of both worlds for girls. Fun with trendy, funky clothes and hair styles AND a wide variety of personalities, nationalities and outside interests. Each character has a specific activity she loves and accessories and wardrobe that correspond. They are each individually adorned with a personal symbol and color scheme that define her and her life style.
So, there’s a girl for everyone! All you have to do is figure out… What Planet Are You From?
About the Creator:
Lauren Faust has been a success in the animation industry for 12 years both as an artist and a writer. Her most recent endeavors have been as Head Writer and Supervising Producer for husband Craig McCracken’s award-winning hit series Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends on Cartoon Network. For her work on Foster’s, Lauren has received nominations for four Emmy and three Annie Awards. Previously, she had lent her talents to the popular cartoon series, feature film and marketing sensation The Powerpuff Girls and as an animator on such feature films as The Iron Giant and Cats Don’t Dance. All the while she has been an avid toy collector with a particular interest in the beloved toys of her childhood, including My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake. Her greatest goal as an artist is to offer up to little girls the kind of joy and inspiration she experienced as a child, with images of girls and women as positive, self-affirming, active, individualistic, fun, and even a little edgy.
The cosmic Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls website is aimed at, but not limited to, preteen girls. It offers up profiles of the Galaxy Girls, a shop full of t-shirts and other fun merchandise, Mother Earth (aka Lauren Faust)’s blog, the Solar Sisterhood newsletter, and a link to the Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls Etsy shop.
Girlactic Greetings Earthlings!
Welcome the The Solar Sisterhood on Etsy! The only place in the universe to find hand made items featuring Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls, a completely independent project by animator, Lauren Faust. Lauren is so far unwilling to compromise the quality of design of her characters to have them mass produced, so she lovingly makes all her toys by hand, and all her other products independently. She sincerely hopes you enjoy them!
