Check Out These Delicious Blueberry Frozen Drinks At Epcot

THE BLONDS Present ‘Disney Villains’ is Coming to New York Fashion Week

THE BLONDS present ‘Disney Villains,’

Disney Villains are hitting the Runway!  Our favorite Disney badies will be taking center stage at New York Fashion Week on September 7, 2018, when luxury fashion brand THE BLONDS present ‘Disney Villains,’a runway show featuring their Spring ’19 collection, which was inspired by some of Disney’s
most wicked characters.

Disney Villains have long lived in the dark shadows of the beloved heroes and heroines of their stories, and yet these characters are just as celebrated,” said Ken Potrock, President, Consumer Products and Commercialization. “Through our collaboration with THE BLONDS, some of Disney’s most notorious villains will be reimagined in totally unexpected ways during one of fashion’s most important weeks.”

Known for creating glamorously over the top pieces with a rebellious twist, THE BLONDS, co-founded by designer Phillipe Blond and creative director David Blond, will feature looks inspired by villains such as Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, Evil Queen, the Queen of Hearts, Dr. Facillier, Ursula and her dark eel minions Flotsam and Jetsam during the show.

“The Disney Villains style is iconic and has inspired us since childhood and throughout our
career. The opportunity to collaborate with Disney and see these designs come to life on THE
BLONDS runway is an absolute dream come true,” said David and Phillipe Blond, Designers, THE
BLONDS.

As part of the creative process, Phillipe and David toured the Disney Archive Research Library
where they learned about each Villain’s mythology and viewed the inspiration behind the iconic
animation of these characters, including original artwork and sculpts.

“What drew us to working with Disney Villains are the complex attributes of the characters
themselves,” continued David Blond. “Often misunderstood, Disney Villains are flawed,
imposing and mysterious, and we loved the idea of taking these characteristics and translating
them in a glamorous way, making them the heroes of our story.”

Can’t make it to Fashion Week?!  Catch the live stream of the show on Disney.com, www.theblondsny.com and www.nyfw.com! Let’s see if these Villains can “Work It!”

New Coco Minnie Mouse Ears Spotted At Disneyland And DCA

Coco Minnie Mouse Ears

If you can’t get enough of the gorgeous PIXAR Film Coco, you’ll love the newest Minnie Ears to appear at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. The new Coco Minnie Mouse Ears are as brilliant and colorful as the animation in the film.

These vibrant ears feature bold colors that contrast gorgeously on the black background. Colorful marigold inspired flowers line the band of the ears, and a black Papel picado bow tops off the entire ensemble. Papel picaso is actually a Mexican Folk Art, that takes colorful paper, and turns it into artwork with beautiful and elaborate designs cut into it. I love that Disney opted to add this marvelous artwork style to the Coco Ears. The marigolds also tie wonderfully into the theme of the movie, You may remember they were a big part of the film. That’s because they are traditionally used to guide spirits to their respective altars during Dia de los Muertos.

These brilliantly colorful Coco Minnie Mouse Ears retail for $24.99, and are available at select locations at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. No word on if they are coming to Walt Disney World, but we hope they will arrive in time for the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party season!

Disney is Wanting To Be Dropped from Harvey Weinstein Case

Harvey Weinstein

The Walt Disney Company is demanding to be dropped from the putative class action Harvey Weinstein lawsuit. Disney, which once owned Harvey Weinstein’s film studio Miramax Film, wants to be “dismissed from a putative class action brought by alleged victims” of Harvey Weinstein. Disney is arguing that they should not be liable in the sexual misconduct case against Weinstein, but the victims suing say Disney should be held responsible for negligent supervision. The women claim Disney “knew or should have known not only that Weinstein was unfit or incompetent to work directly with women and posed a particular risk of sexually harassing and assaulting them, but also that this unfitness created a particular risk.”

Disney argues that the “allegations aren’t supported with facts, nor have the plaintiffs pierced the corporate veil.”

Disney representatives said, “Notably absent are alleged facts that Disney employed Weinstein, that Disney knew or should have known about Weinstein’s alleged misconduct, or that Weinstein’s alleged misconduct involved Disney’s premises or property. Allegations about Disney’s former subsidiary, Miramax, are irrelevant to the claims against Disney because Miramax and Disney are separate corporate entities.”
