Ypulse Essentials:The Music Tee, Webstars, Create A Skate
Posted by meredith on 06-25-2009
The Music Tee (much more than a band shirt. The tee not only features original album art, but a URL code-embedded hangtag that allows the wearer to download the album. And Abercrombie & Fitch introduces a multi-sensory store experience. Plus a Canadian study on teen fashion finds trends leaning away from the overly "sexy" look) (trendcentral) (Marketing Vox) (The Vancouver Sun)
- @15 teams up with Taylor Swift's tour (Best Buy's teen-led social change platform, on which Anastasia sits on the advisory board, was named as the tour's official charitable partners. And video of Nick Jonas' visit to the senate) (Trading Markets) (Politico)
- Texting while driving (can be even more dangerous than driving under the influence. Yikes. Thanks Eric!)
- How green are teens? (our friends at Generate continue to examine the gap between teens' eco-reputation and their eco-action uncovered in their recent survey) (MediaPost, reg. required)
- The reality of 'The Real World' (tonight marks the debut of "Real World: Cancun," which skeptics predict will feature the cast being "drunk and fighting 95 percent of the time." Also, some bars in D.C., the show's next location, have already banned castmates) (Reality Blurred)
- 'Webstars: The Kids Behind The Hits' (Nick News with Linda Ellerbee spotlights kids who have reached internet fame through viral videos, web shows and characters) (Cynopsis Kids)
- High school valedictorian banned from graduation speech (as punishment for participating in a student sit-in to protest increased class sizes and the elimination of college prep classes. WTF?) (Los Angeles Times)
- Create A Skate (a very cool non-profit program that teaches kids about math, science and art through skateboard design)
- You're so 'Vain' (you probably think this magazine is about you. And if you're an 18 to 34 year old woman, you'd be right)
- 'Twilight' lip gloss (a specially designed "lip venom" that sorta resembles a vial of blood. Cool? Also, an interesting look at the rise of pinkness in the tweenage market in Malaysia) (EW) (Racialiscious)
P.S. Just a reminder: Ypulse is taking tomorrow and next Friday off for summer hours.
