Welcome, Naomi Barbie!

Welcome, Naomi Barbie!

The world’s most popular and kitschiest doll maker launched a new line of barbie modeled on Naomi Osaka for 29.99 dollars. No points for guessing that the dolls sold like hotcakes and was out of stock in a record time of 6 hours. The barbie is seen holding a Yonex tennis racket and wearing the same outfit the ace tennis player wore in the Australian Open 2020.

Osaka tweeted, “I hope every child is reminded that they can be and do anything.”

The 23-year-old is the winner of four grand slams and is known for being an outspoken figure in the professional tennis circuit. She can be seen regularly addressing issues pertaining to racial injustice, human rights, and mental health during interviews.

The designer of Naomi’s doll Carlyle Nuera commended Osaka for her work. He said, “Obviously Naomi’s athletic skill is unmatched, that’s a fact,”

“But what I personally admire the most about Naomi Osaka is how she uses her platform, the spotlight on her and her voice, to raise awareness about social justice.”

This is the second collaboration that Barbie had announced, earlier Barbie had launched Shero dolls in 2019, which included Black label dolls. These dolls were a tribute to Gabby Douglas, Misty Copeland, Ibtihaj Muhammad, and Laurie Hernandez.

Osaka will make her return to competitive tennis at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021 after withdrawing from the French Open and Wimbledon tournament, due to mental health reasons.

MAYA THE BEE PARTNERS WITH INNOVATIVE FRENCH FOODTECH COMPANY BEE’S DREAM

MAYA THE BEE PARTNERS WITH INNOVATIVE FRENCH FOODTECH COMPANY BEE’S DREAM 

Studio 100 Media has entered into a licensing agreement with  French food tech start-up Bee’s dream for “Maya the Bee”. The contract was negotiated and concluded by French licensing agency M.J.A. Licensing, which is representing several of Studio 100’s brands in France. Bee’s dream has invented a  unique concept of bringing honey directly from the beehive to the table. This premium honey is produced directly, stored, and packaged by the bees in easy-to-press individual portions that are recyclable and biodegradable. The concept was launched in France in early 2021 and Bee’s dream is planning to expand internationally in 2022, first targeting hotels, restaurants, delicatessens, and catering services.  

Bee’s dream is committed to combining ethics and profitability while also focusing on innovation for the benefit of sustainable and profitable beekeeping. These themes complement very well the activities of “Maya the Bee” as brand ambassador for insect and bee protection, biodiversity, and sustainability. 

“At Bee’s dream, we are very proud and delighted to partner with Maya the Bee, the greatest bee ambassador ever. The values defended by Maya are the ones to jointly embrace and stand up for. Special thanks to Studio 100 who are very supportive and have constantly provided us with meaningful advice” commented Charles-Olivier  Oudin, CEO of Bee’s dream. 

The concept of Bee’s dream is as easy as it is unique: The bees themselves fix and store their honey within the beehive in individual portions (+/- 30g of honey extracted) that are ready to eat at home or on the go… The Bee’s dream® device is compatible with existing standard beehives, so beekeepers don’t need to modify the hives. The concept works without industrial processing, the oxidization is greatly limited, and the honey shows no crystallization, meaning it is time and energy-saving for the beekeeper. In 2020, Bee’s dream was awarded the French “Campus des Agricultures”  prize by the Agricultural Mutations Chair at #esaconnect 2020. More sustainable products like a “Beespresso” machine designed for family honey consumption are currently in development.  

Bee’s dream continues to work on the development of products whose goals are always to preserve the tastes and virtues of honey, to offer traceability to the consumer and to support the environment and the bees.

TAG Heuer partners with Nintendo to launch Super Mario Watches

TAG Heuer partnered with the Japanese gaming company, Nintendo, the owner of the franchise “Super Mario Bros” to launch an interactive timepiece – that would seamlessly combine the world of watches and fitness.

The Limited Edition TAG Heuer X Super Mario promises to make exercising fun, as the animated dial with the iconic hero, Mario, would become more energetic as the wearer exercises. Mario is imitating a personal trainer and a cheerleader who would encourage the wearer to complete the target set through in watch games.

On completion of the target, Mario would celebrate with his signature power-up moves, thus following a reward-based system. The cardinal points of the bezel are adorned with objects integral to Mario’s adventures; the Super Mushroom (which makes Mario grow) at the 3 o’clock position, the pipe that allows him to travel fast at 6 o’clock, and at 9 o’clock the invincible Super Star lights up. As the customer finishes their daily target, Mario climbs the Goal Pole, which encourages the wearer.

TAG Heuer CEO, Frédéric Arnault spoke about the collaboration, he said “What better than the TAG Heuer Connected to give life to this iconic character and encourage users to team up with Mario to get out there and be more active?”

The 2,000 watches in the TAG Heuer x Super Mario, come with interchangeable straps on which the edition name is inscribed already. The collection is set to release on the 15th of July on the official watchmaker’s website.
