[By the Window] Strawberry Shortcake

Long time no blog. But I took almost all week to create something so here we go.


My Love of Strawberry Shortcake Art and Cartoon

As you may or may not know I am an 80s child. So I grew up with original Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Ponies, and Rainbow Brite. I didn't have any strawberry short cake dolls (I collected My Little Ponys instead) but anytime my family would go to the rental store, I would pick up one of the strawberry shortcake VHS 1 out of 3 times. ( Other girly cartoons or Troop Beverly Hills where my other picks.) When they re-did strawberry in 2003 (?) I was excited but disappointed. She just didn't seem that cute. And I love me cute stuff.  Of late they placed many of the 2003 episodes on Netflix. I really couldn't get past more then 10 minute. It felt like Strawberry Shortcake mixed with Candyland and babes in Toy land. In the past two years they have started a whole to look (see image above) and I totally love the new style. Strawberry is herself in all way, a leader and helper to all her friends. Product placing is just how I remembered it being in the first series. *I don't mind, it pays off the artist who work hard on something they love* I like the new character Cherry Jam and so happy they where able to bring Huckleberry Pie into the new series. So in celebration, here are some Lolita fashions that I think are suited to strawberry shortcake and some Animal Crossing QR codes I made for the new series. (will do old characters in the future)



And here are my Animal Crossing QR codes. 



Thanks So much. Will bring more cute blog soon.
