Whatever happened to....the smurfs?

La-la-le-la-la-la...

The smurfs conjure up many memories for me. They first came into Australia in the early 80's and I remember collecting them, I had the figurines, the drink bottle, stickers on my lunchbox, the pencil case.. oh my I think I just wanted to be blue. Remember the iceblocks? I wish they would bring those back, they were yummy.

In hindsight, was Smurfette a smurfing concubine? Only one woman and all those boys? Was Papa Smurf the pimp? Oh my.

Also our Maths Master at high-school looked alarmingly like Papa Smurf, and you would regularly hear a chorus of la-la-le-le-la-la... going on in a hum, whistle or cheeky rendition throughout the maths room hallways....

C'mon Fess up - have you got some blue make-up, figurine, smurf blow-up-doll hiding somewhere in your closet?..???

What Ever Happened to.... Punky Brewster?

Remember Punky Brewster? The cute if not obnoxious child who is adopted by an old bloke and his dog, wears non-matching socks and warms people's hearts? Harmless entertainment and much loved by my sisters when growing up.

If you missed it..here's the first episode..

So what's she up to now?

Soleil Moon Frye is now Married Mum to 2 little girls with equally unusual names being Poet Rose Sienna and Jagger Joseph Blue (yes apparently that is a girls' name).

She has recently opened an ecological children's boutique called 'Little Seed' in LA. Before having her girls she continued to work doing voice acting to Punky Brewster the cartoon, the kids' cartoon The Proud Family and acting work on Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
