Freaky or Fabulous? Marc Jacob's SpongeBob Tattoo

FabSugar — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 04:00:22 PDT

There has been talk - not here - but around, that Marc Jacobs has been a bit overexposed as of late. We have witnessed the New Yorker evolve, as well as his clothes, and evolution is a good thing. However, his very public visit to rehab (again) last year and his new found beefcake physique is a side of MJ we've seen a lot of recently. He just did a shoot with French actress Elodie Bouchez for T:Style where the two wear his Spring collection and just kinda hang out and look fabulous. But I couldn't stop staring at his SpongeBob tattoo. And is that an M&M tattoo too? We know he has a serious crush on the spongy yellow cartoon but this strikes me as a bit, odd. I expect designers to be odd, though, so I'm saying it's fabulous. You?

SpongeBob Takes His Undersea Adventure Into the Kitchen

Rebecca M Gruber — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:04:56 PST

Ever wonder what somebody who lives in a pineapple under the sea actually eats? The answer may surprise you! SpongeBob and his Bikini Bottom friends have rather imaginative culinary tastes that range from the sweet - like fruit-filled hot dog buns - to the savory - like cheese-filled mushroom caps. The folks over at Nickelodeon have put together 50 SpongeBob-inspired recipes designed to get kids involved in the kitchen. More edible projects than complex recipes, SpongeBob's Kitchen Mission Cookbook ($12) introduces tots to cooking terms while indicating the recipes' difficulty levels so parents know when to involve their kids. In true SpongeBob fashion, the book is filled with wacky banter between the show's characters, all in the name of foodie fun. Check out three creative recipes straight from the book!

Transform Plain Ikea Furniture With Kid-Friendly Decals

It's easy to have a love-hate relationship with Ikea. The prices are ideal for outfitting lil ones' rooms with practical, stylish furniture, but with that low price moms often have to sacrifice color and design. Sure, you can paint the stark white pieces, but with all of the wear and tear kids put their rooms through, it's only a matter of time before the paint starts chipping and the white under-layer is showing.

That's where MyKea comes in. The Dutch design company has identified the most popular Ikea furniture items and created removable, graphic vinyl prints (ranging from $42 to $65) that can be applied directly to the furniture. With a slew of kid-friendly designs - think the Little Mister and Little Miss characters, SpongeBob, and some fun original creations including DJ equipment, aliens, and numerals - kids' rooms can quickly be transformed to show off lil ones' personalities.

Michael Chiarello on the Difference Between Top Chef Masters and Next Iron Chef

Michael Chiarello is no stranger to reality TV cooking competitions: he was a runner-up on the first season of Top Chef: Masters and has been a guest on Bravo's regular Top Chef series.

When I caught up with him briefly at the New York City Wine & Food Festival, I was curious to know what would compel the seasoned chef - who's a fan of YumSugar! - to put himself on the cutting board once again.

See what he had to say when you keep reading.

Grab a Taste of Nature With Dora and SpongeBob Nickelodeon Squeezers

Rebecca M Gruber — Thu, 27 Jan 2011 06:30:53 PST

Give it a squeeze! My home converted to the ways of squeezable nourishment as soon as my lil one started solid foods. We' now tote packs of pureed organic fruits and veggies with us everywhere we go. But to my older tot, the pouches are nothing more than baby food. He sees his younger brother suck down spinach, pear, and pea combinations that he wouldn't dare try himself. Even when I offered him all fruit versions, he'd tell me they were for babies, "not big boys like me."

So when Nature's Child sent over their Nickelodeon Squeezers ($3 for a box of four), I was sure he would turn up his nose. Rather, he took one look at SpongeBob on the packet and declared them a big boy treat. Having been around the block a few times, I was certain that this character-laden snack would be packed with sugar, preservatives, and other nasties like many cartoon products are. Much to my surprise, the packs (adorned with either SpongeBob or Dora) are packed with 100 percent all natural fruit, without any added sugar.

Who is this product designed for? The packs are great for families on the go. Stick a few in the car, mama's purse, or a tot's lunch box, and hungry kids can get one full serving of fruit with a single squeeze.

Is it practical? I'm already a believer in the wonders of squeezable packets, and these don't disappoint. Fruits can be consumed mess-free – without the need for utensils or napkins – and don't have to be refrigerated until they're opened.

Keep reading to see what could be better and if I'd buy them on my own.
