G.U.M.
Star Wars Toothbrush
Launch Party
Fight Evil Cavities With 
The Force
Recently I had the pleasure of attending the G.U.M. Star Wars Toothbrush Launch Party hosted by Momtrends at Ripley’s Believe It or Not Times Square.
If there is one thing my children have never complained about, it is brushing their teeth but with G.U.M. Star Wars toothbrushes in the house, things just got easier!
A wealth of information was available and all of the toothbrushes were available for everyone to check out. Personally, I could not choose a favorite. I believe we will have every toothbrush in the house very soon. I cannot think of anything more important that clean and healthy teeth and gums!
I was excited to check out the new line of toothbrushes and gain even more knowledge about having a happy and healthy mouth!
Everyone enjoyed rubbing elbows with the special surprise guests Darth Vader
 and a Stormtrooper, especially Emily!
She had to go back and get a picture of just herself with both of them.
Not sure what that means about her future husband!
My youngest to oldest child was entertained with all of the great activities including a scavenger hunt, the laser maze race, crafts and puzzles, too!
They were also able to enjoy Ripley’s Believe It or Not.
Seeing that we are family of Star Wars fans, this was a great day for everyone!
While the children were busy with their activities, the adults were able to be schooled by 
Pediatric Dental Expert Dr. Michael Ignelzi DDS Phd. He let us know all about oral hygiene for children and answered quite a few questions.
I’m happy to share some great tips from Dr. Ignelzi  with you!
  • Make sure you have the right amount of fluoride 20 to 40% (the size of a small pea).
  • Avoid sticky foods (like Fruit Roll Ups).
  • Make your child’s first dental visit on their first birthday.
  • Floss as soon as your child will tolerate it. 
  • Use a floss pick for ease.
  • Get into a routine. Brushing in the morning and at night is a great routine that 86% of dentists on.
  • Replace toothbrushes every three months or once bristles are worn.(Also, replace toothbrush after illness-Strep throat, etc)- Okay, that one is my own tip from experience!
  • Get sealants on permanent teeth not on baby teeth. 90% of cavities in permanent teeth begin in the grooves. Sealant can prevent 9 out of 10 cavities.
  • Get fluoride in water. Buy bottled water with fluoride. Dannon Water to Go Bottled water has fluoride in it! A dentist or doctor can write an Rx for children.

We were also treated to this great video Star Wars Dark Side Good Habits!
Check it out. You will love it, too!
The new toothbrush line is available now nationwide.
There are three different types of toothbrushes available including G.U.M. Star Wars Powered Toothbrush

The Amazing Max And The Box Of Interesting Things

The Amazing Max
And The Box of 
Interesting Things
Now at
MMAC Theater
60th Street NYC
Recently my family and I had the chance to enjoy
 The Amazing Max and The Box of Interesting Things show 
at the MMAC Theater on 60th St. NYC.
Our family has always been big magic fans, so we could 
not wait to see a full show by The Amazing Max!
He did not disappoint!

The Amazing Max (Max Darwin) was born into the business. He traveled all through the United States with his parents who were performers that specialized in clowning, mime, juggling and magic.  Max Darwin has a natural pizazz at entertaining both children and adults alike. The audience roared time after time at the amazing tricks and endless jokes of Max! 
Since 2000, Max has performed more than 3,000 
magic shows in NYC.
Max is currently starring in and opened ended run of this Off-Broadway show, “The Amazing Max and the Box of Interesting Things”.

Max will also release his first instructional Magic DVD for kids, “Magic In Minutes” available for purchase in Spring 2012!
As for my family and I, we laughed our heads off during the show!
We loved the show from beginning to end, including Max entering the show by driving in on his little cart.
Max delighted us with some great magic tricks like The Bag of Wonders, Coins! Coins! Coins!, The Acrobatic Knot,
The First Trick I Ever Did, Hamlet, and Dangerous Juggling for No Reason Whatsoever! 
One trick was more amazing than the next! I personally loved how interactive Max was with the audience. He made everyone feel welcome and that they he was performing the trick just for them! 
Some lucky children even got chosen to help Max with many of the tricks and were able to catch their own magician’s stick!
There was also a chance afterwards to meet up with The Amazing Max for pictures and autographs! There was even a chance to bring home a piece of the magic by visiting Max’s Magic Store.
Max is also available for Magic Birthday Parties.

Venus In Fur Now on Broadway

Venus In Fur
Now On Broadway
Lyceum Theatre 
NYC

Recently I had the chance to take in the Broadway show Venus In Fur.
My night started with a great cocktail party at one of my favorite NYC stops, Hurley’s Saloon. 
I had that chance to catch up with some fellow bloggers and have a few laughs.
When I was invited to Venus In Fur I really did not know what to expect. This show has only a cast of two, Nina Arinda as Vanda and Hugh Dancy as Thomas. The wonderful understudies are Mark Alhadeff for Thomas and Liv Rooth for Vanda.
The night I got to enjoy the show with Nina Arinda and Mark Alhadeff.
I have really never been to a Broadway show with only a cast of two. I have also never been to a Broadway show with the focus on sexual content. I am pleased to tell you that both were fabulous.
I am certainly not intimidated about sexual content, 
so I was interested to see how the show would play out.
I was happy to see that it was performed in just the right light that kept things right on the edge. Although there was no nudity, Vanda was quite scantily dressed throughout the show.
The show runs for one hour and forty minutes without an intermission. 
You will not want to leave for any reason once it begins.

This erotic comedy begins suddenly with a thrash of lightning that’s shakes the audience into full attention.
As Thomas, the writer/director, conveys his frustrations of the day to his girlfriend via cellphone Vanda haphazardly enters the room. Thomas, disgusted by the day and lack of someone to fill the role, has no patience for Vanda and her stories about the subway and being hours late for an appointment she never had.
Thomas and Vanda struggle over Venus In Fur. 
He sees it as a wonderful love story, she sees it as S&M soft porn. And so the story begins.
Vanda finally convinces Thomas to let her read for the role of Vanda(same name)  and also convinces him he would be the perfect  Kushemski. This is where the fun begins. There are many times during the show that the entire audience was cackling!  Venus In Fur is a definite for a date night, friends night, or any night. 
Mark Alhadeff as Thomas
This show is for adults and deals with some mature sexual content. If you have an open mind and enjoy a great erotic comedy, this is definitely for you!

Mirror Mirror
NYC Screening
March 24th 11am
Every time I see another ad for Mirror Mirror I like it just a little bit more!
It’s always so interesting to see how one of the most beloved stories of all time, Snow White, will take shape in an all new funny retelling of an old classic. Mirror Mirror stars Julia Roberts as the evil Queen and features Lily Collins from The Blind Side as Snow White, a princess in exile.
Snow White joins her seven courageous rebel dwarfs as they pull together to reclaim her birthright and win her Prince. The film also stars Armie Hammer from The Social Network as the Prince and Nathan Lane from The Birdcage as the Queen’s hapless servant.  This magical comedy has family fun written all over it!
I cannot wait to see Mirror Mirror with my own family.
You can see an advance screening in NYC this Saturday- March 24th at 11am.
Email Diane at ELGeorgia@aol.com with Mirror Mirror in the subject line for a Family 4 pack of passes!
See You at Mirror Mirror!

This film is rated PG for fantasy action and mild rude humor.
