The Wrath of Con!

Greetings Color Kids!

It's been a few days past that of the Dragon Con event in Atlanta Georgia, and I am truly feeling it.
My costumes were perfect for the convention. All were very nice and light and comfortable in the heat and humidity. My shoes also held up nicely each day.

and Me as Pinkie Pie

I was able to meet up with Katy Haile from RainbowBrite.Net and she and I were able to share the rainbow with so many fans we saw! We promoted our websites and the podcast to many there who loved Rainbow Brite and took the time to tell us so.

Day 1: On the First day I dressed as Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony. This day was a "discovery" day where I spent most of my time hunting down the places I would want to visit later. I went to the walk of fame and also got autographs I wanted early. I then met with Katy after the Panel with C Thomas Howell and Cary Elwes.

Katy actually got to hug and meet Cary and squee like the Fangirl she is.  LOL

I fangirled on Goofy (aka Bill Farmer) on the walk of fame, but it was worth it. I also met Gigi Edgley in the elevator. She stood right next to me. I didn't know who she was originally. I said "You look familiar" she said "I was on a show called Farscape" and I gasped and said "Jim Henson's Creature Shop!" as I watched ALL those and loved it greatly. She was the hostess of the show. It was so nice to meet her, but I didn't take the interaction beyond that other then to show her to the escalator so she could leave to the event she was trying to get to.

Day 2: I dressed as Rainbow Brite and Katy dressed as Baby Brite! We went to a She-Ra Panel and met up for an 80's Cartoon photo shoot arranged via Facebook. I am not on many of those pages, I guess I should be.

That night I went to the Georgia Aquarium and met another Rainbow Brite there. It was very much a Rainbow Brite Weekend.

Day 3: My last day at the convention I decided to wear a less complex outfit and dressed as a Unicorn. Originally I had designed his outfit to be around a "Last Unicorn" ponch, which I was unable to get before the convention. I compromised by wearing a generic butterfly tunic shirt with long white skirt. The unicorn horn was designed by me, and I really need to make an online tutorial for how I did it so that other fans can make Unicorn horns.

The last day I went to more panels and parties and even ran into a "Rambo Brite" cosplayer. I met him at my local con, but was unable to meet up with him because my costume melted. I really wish I had now! His costume was FANTASTIC!

Over all the convention was fun and I look forward to going to more now that I have a better idea of what to expect.

While waiting in line Katy and I recorded a quick Mini podcast part which should be up soon.

Since I got home from the convention I've had to deal with fatigue. I call this the wrath of con...the fatigue that follows such an event when you aren't used to it. I need to work on that for my next one.

Until then, have a Rainbow Day!

Getting ready for a Rainbow Christmas

Hey fans.

This summer Rainbow Brite's 30th anniversary ornament was released and there are many fans from all over the world who want them. Sadly international shipping is not an option on Hallmark.com.

However in the season of giving and thanks I would like to extend a helping hand to anyone who would like one sent to them over seas. I live in the United States and want to help those who can't get these on their own.

I have checked with my local post office and it seems the postage to ship a package that small would cost about $10 parcel post.

If anyone would like an ornament please contact me here or email me via the "Contact" page on the RainbowBrite.Co.Uk website.

So shipping is $10 parcel post, or $19 priority. + $14.95 for the ornament

You won't pay anymore for the ornament then if you were to order it yourself. I am not upping the price or charging anything for this, and am doing it as a favor to any Rainbow Brite fan who would want one.

Have a Rainbow Day!
Renee'

NOTE: I am not authorized to "Sell" any Hallmark item, as I am not selling them. This is a courtesy for fans as a favor not for profit.

Have a Rainbow Day!

New Year Ideas

In 2013 it marks a special time for Rainbow Brite, as it is her 30th anniversary!

What do we have in store for everyone in the new year?

From Hallmark: in December you can expect a new Rainbow Brite Ornament! It's already been seen at New York Comic Con, as well as others special showings.


What can you expect from the Co.Uk website?
So far we have updated you with two new doll catalogs, added an interview or two, and freshened up some old sound files but updates may be even slower as we attempt new ventures.

One of our hopes is to start a new Podcast as a joint venture with RainbowBrite.Net! Hopefully this will help both websites in keeping up with events and information in a fun and entertaining way for you!


Brite Cast Mock Cassette

Also, I'm hoping to add some more information in regards to collecting here. I hope to catalog the website collection soon, and perhaps unearth some new rainbows for you!

Until then, keep an eye on RainbowBrite.Co.Uk, our Facebook Page, Twitter, and blog!
Have a Rainbow Day!

The Rainbow Inside

Rainbow Brite and Me

Greetings Rainbow Brite fan's.
My name is Renee' Stowe and I am one of the admins and friends of the Rainbow Brite.Co.Uk Fan Community. I mostly maintain the United States based Rainbow Brite information and collectibles for the website as well as help with promotions.

So, where will  you have noticed me recently? August of 2012 I was able to meet one of the Rainbow Brite voice cast members: Bettina Bush.

Bettina was in Orlando Florida at a function and I was lucky enough to get a few minutes with her to say hello, share the appreciation of the Rainbow Brite fandom and get some nice things to give away to fans! That means YOU!

You all can look forward to seeing some CD Singles as well as a signed "Rainbow Brite" Mini Backpack being given away very soon!

All items will be given away for free, but to get them you have to make sure to follow the Rainbow Brite.co.uk community! We have a Twitter, Facebook and YouTube channel!

The current promotion on the website is a Twink mini backpack give away which still has a few weeks left, so if you haven't joined in the fun, run over to the Facebook page for details!

As for myself, I'm going to be starting up a Rainbow Brite blog here and posting reviews and comments that may help you on the website.

I really look forward to sharing the Rainbow with you and hopefully we can be friends!

NOTICE: Blog Format Change

Fans:
Many years ago this blog was started to provide information to fans who wanted to stay informed on updates and changes to the Rainbow Brite.Co.Uk website as well as a few articles written to share information.

This format was hard to maintain and got nearly forgotten for a very long time. Yet, we know we needed a blog. A place to quip and discuss topics that are Rainbow Brite related from a fan. Renee', a Rainbow Brite fan, music lover and friend is going to try to fill that role. Blog reigns are now going to be handed over to her.

Like with the website and here we hope that fans enjoy the information provided but we hope you also respect the persons involved and their privacy.

We request that you respect all fans and not post comments about personal or private issues not related to Rainbow Brite or the blog posts. (No Spam!)

Enjoy the blog! Enjoy the information, images, and share the Rainbow.

Find a Rainbow Day

I'm not sure what it is,or how much study has gone in to the fact that colors make a person happy. There is something about seeing a rainbow that makes a person smile, and the way things are today, it's harder then ever to keep a smile.

April 3rd is National “Find a Rainbow Day”, but considering Easter weekend, and so much beyond that, our site has decided to make everyday, a “Find a Rainbow Day”. It is too important a quest to leave it to a single day. So often in our lives we forget to look up, look around or even make our own rainbows.

We need a reminder everyday that life is good, so keep an eye out for a rainbow...and if the sky is grey, the future cloudy, make one

Dress as a rainbow:
red hat, scarf, or ribbon on your head or neck
Orange and yellow shirt, jacket or gloves,
green belt, sash, or shorts
blue jeans, socks or shoes.

Organize your desk as a rainbow
Arrange your desk notes by colour
link your coloured paper clips like a rainbow,
put a rainbow wall paper on your computer desktop

Make your snack something colourful!
Dried cherries, raisins, banana chips, oranges or apricot pieces with nuts!

You can find a rainbow everywhere!
Where do you find yours?
Share the rainbow, send us your fun ideas and ways you make a rainbow everyday!
We would love to share them with others!

Have a Rainbow Day!
