Want some twisted takes on Disney Princesses? Check out Jeffrey Thomas’ art gallery

Sleeping Beauty series of books by Anne RiceThe other day, Web Watch wrote about Brianna Garcia’s artistic take on the Disney Princesses.

Compared to this artist, Brianna’s princesses are all sugar and spice and everything nice, because JEFFREY THOMAS’ PRINCESS ART has a decidedly different twist.

Why the Disney Dining Plan is popular: because kids eat free. Why not try this at home, too?

healthy disney eating diningIf you are a family with kids and you’re on a budget, eating out can definitely be a problem.  Kids just want to eat, and don’t necessarily have the concept down about eating within a budget.  They just point at the macaroni-and-cheese, chicken fingers, fries (and other brown and tan foods without a vegetable in sight) and say “I want that!”

This is why the Disney Dining Plan that offers a “pay-one-price” for all members of your family is so popular. Families on those massively-planned-out Disney trips can go to any restaurant on property and tell the kids to “eat whatever you want”, because the meal has already been paid for.

And yes, those kids are in for a shock when they return to the real world and discover that they can’t just eat anything on the menu again.  It’s just another way Disney makes a vacation seem more special.

So what can families do to continue that type of “eat anything you want” Disney magic when they’re dining out with the kids again once they’re back at home?

How to Calculate Music Royalties with this Album Sales Calculator

Beatles for SaleA few years ago, Web Watch posted a piece on using a MUSIC ROYALTY CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE ALBUM PROFITS, and we thought that it was a good time to revisit that topic.

Why?

Because many things have changed in the music industry since we we wrote that original piece.  That music royalty calculator link is still valid, but we found another one that you might want to look at as well.

Billionaire Exchange: an eBay for the Socially Privileged

How to be RichBILLIONAIRE XCHANGE is not for the common folk who like to eat chicken wings, watch football, and sit in the back of the plane on cross-country flights.

No, Billionaire Xchange is for those snooty rich folks and celebrities who like to hobnob amongst themselves, drinking tea with their pinkies sticking out and yelling “cheerio!” during their polo match.

Yes, even the rich need to auction off an item or two, but for them – eBay just isn’t the right way to go about things.  Billionaire Xchange gives those sellers with some big ticket items…and we do mean BIG TICKET items…a place to buy and sell without worrying about being scammed by a crafty teenager with a hacked American Express card.
