Now that we're well into the Christmas shopping season I'm sure you've received a few lists from your kids expounding on what they want for Christmas without the benefit of seeing the prices. As parents it's your job to do the footwork to find out what the final tally of the bill will be and pay through the nose for it.
I happened to spy a Penney's mini-catalog in with the ads in the newspaper on Sunday and my eyes popped out when I looked at the prices on merchandising items for Hannah Montana. I suppose it's your business to decide whether this enterprising teenager is a good role model for your preteen girl but I can't see spending the kind of money on her holiday fare- such as it is- for this superfluous and fleeting fad. ( I saw her show and interview on the AMAs and I'm wondering how they managed to make her look like she does in the pictures ! Good ole photoshop, huh? )
How's this for a whopping bill? First, there is her Toy Guitar. It comes with three preloaded songs and a headset so YOU don't have to listen to it and she doesn't have to learn to play. (Not that this guitar could actually be played mind you ! ) It is regularly sold for $ 49.99 but you're going to get the low price of $24.99! ( Remember- this thing is a piece of plastic junk made in Taiwan! )
Next we have the Karaoke which has two microphone inputs and you can plug it into a TV for the graphics and lyrics. The box itself is the tiniest Karaoke machine I've ever seen. They want 79.99 for it but don't forget it was originally priced at $169.99 ! Bah ! That's not IT either! She has a clothing line of mostly T-shirts and vests which will run up to at least $19.99 @ and there's a fetching little Cosmetics case which is shaped like a guitar for $16.99 (orig. 34.99 !)

Don't forget the barbie-sized Hannah Montana Doll for $16.99 (orig. 34.99 !)
....how about the charm bracelet for 11.99 ??? also sale priced !
The final total comes up to $250.90 if you buy each child about five items of her clothing line.. Mind you, this won't get her anywhere near the stage where Miley Cyrus does her little teen numbers such as Fly on the Wall but she can surely pretend at that cost. Either that or for the same amount of money you could get her some piano or singing lessons for about half a year and if she has any talent at all then your own daughter can start pulling in some bucks all her own. Imagine something like "Madison Radisson Gets a Life ". Well, you get the idea !
The Castle Lady with the latest and the lamest ! hee hee hee
