In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

It was just a few days ago that I posted about all the great press Yoostar has been getting, and now there are two more positive mentions to add to that list:

Today "Esquire" magazine put Yoostar first on its list of the "Best Toys of 2009." They wrote: "No one remembers the year they got their fifty-third action figure, but if you want to make a memory that a kid won't ever forget — it's on this list." W00t!

On Wednesday night "Entertainment Tonight" ahost Mark Steines tried Yoostar and performed in scenes from "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Psycho." Here's the video which aired on "ET" on Oct 7, 2009:
